So we went to Scott's favorite Czech restaurant (restaurace) today for lunch. The photo below is the best example I can provide right now of THE quintessential Czech cuisine, essentially sausage and potato pancakes. But oh would a Czech person be mad if they read that statement: don't you know there are upwards of 14 varieties of klobasa, depending on what part of the pig/ratios of ingredients/other factors I have no idea about? And don't you forget it (the art of the klobasa is not taken lightly). Regardless of all this, let me just say: this stuff is out of control delicious.
In other news, our cat Charlie has earned a nickname as of this morning: "Mr. PIB." What would P.I.B stand for, you may ask? Well, let's just say said kitty has a penchance for urinating in inappropriate places. Therefore, I think "pees in beds" is quite appropriate, no? It's too bad we don't have Mr. Pib soda here (is it Dr. Pib?...either way). I'd definitely like a photo of Mr. Pib with a 2 liter of his very own soda brand.

No Girls Allowed!
That's right. Charlie has a clubhouse and he's got some strict rules. (am fighting urge to fix grammar in the previous sentence) In other news, our flat is now labeled: wanna know the Czech word for wall? Look no further. That's all :)

Phone calls and new flats
So Lea just moved into her new flat and is very refreshed as to have a clean...everything. The posted photo is an example of cleanliness in the kitchen, wherein her flatmates actually wash their dishes. I know, epiphanies abound. This flat is way more her speed: airy, light, bez gross/hloupy (without gross/stupid) roommates. Bonus: no lettuce in the bathtub (for those made out of the loop by the last statement, let's just say that the plumbing in her old flat was...questionable). Anyway, I think I speak for everyone privy to Lea's flat saga when I say the new place is dobre (good).
In regards to the other photo I posted today, I thought I'd just give a visual of a. my room and b. the general phone-saga situation (re: sitting on the radiator, petting the cat). I think Scott found the entire marathon phonecall situation rather entertaining, so he took took my picture. As always, Charlie the cat is happy to get the extra attention lent by any extended event (i.e. international phone calls). Unfortunately for Charlie, we've significantly improved our phone call frequency, thanks to skype's cheap cell calls feature, so he only gets about 15-20 minutes of couch/radiator time with me while I talk with Mom n Dad :(
Speaking of Charlie, though he is certainly loved, he is also certaintly on the top of all of our bad lists, having had peed on all our beds at least once (mine the most, of course). Sooooo we're gonna start shopping this week for a vet who will neuter him, as our current vet says he needs to be at least 3-4 months older than he is now, which is just silly (he's around 5 1/2 months now). I'm pretty sure Aunt Leta would agree: 6 months old is old enough. Believe me: this is hormonal. Not pleased. Bad kitty.
So that's life in Praha right now. Still building my work schedule, getting busier and busier and very happy about it. Will update shortly:)
Love,
Kara

Generally speaking...
This last picture was taken at the famed "Hush" (a bar in Vinohrady): seems there's always something dramatic going on there. Regardless, it's a great picture. News: I have a new job (again) working at the school Josh has been working for. I say "again" because I'm generally in the market for a job at any and every school willing to give me classes, and am now working for three english schools total. Anyway, this particular school is different because its classes follow a really strict approach called the "Callan Method," and basically involves reading at high-speed from a script. It'll be a nice change of pace from the traditional teaching I do otherwise, so I'm glad I got the position.
In other news, I'm learning Czech. Those living in said Czech Republic would understand how that speaks for itself. For those not currently residing in central europe, however, let's just say...it's an undertaking.
