So I would definitely say that Prague makes my top 3 fav cities in Europe list. Amanda, Ashley, and I went by bus from Vienna last weekend and we were so lucky to actually have good weather while we were there. The bus only cost 27 euro there and back, which is super cheap to go to Prague. Once we arrived Chas, Nik, Greg, Fred, and Megan met up with us! And we just happened to be there on the weekend on the world hockey championship game which Czech was playing in against Russia, whom they despise. So..we got to see a lil bit of history made when Czech beat Russia in the game. The top 2 pictures are from the night. We watched the game in the square with all of the locals and celebrated the win with them afterwards. They marched all over the city singing and chanting..i guess it would be the equivalent of the cardinals beating the yankees in the world series and being there to see it...was really cool. Na zdravi..meaning cheers..was a good word to know for the night. The second day we were there we ended up on a really good tour. Learned alot about Prague and how they liberated themselves from the Germans with pots and pans basically during WW2, but Russia took the claim for it, which caused them to be under Stalin and communism until 89. Guess they have a reason to hate Russia so much. Anyways...got to see alot of cool architecture like the 3rd pic, its cubist, and Prague is the only place in the world to see such. Also walked around the Jewish territory, which still has 6 synagogues. Hitler left this territory not destroyed because he planned to make it monument one day to show all the people of the race that he completely wiped away. We all know he failed. Thankfully. We also saw the outside of the biggest medieval castle in the world, picture 4..and learned that the movie EuroTrip was filmed in Prague. Each night we ended with the British. By the end we had made friends with the musician, and he knew when I came in I wanted to hear Sweet Home Alabama and Sweet Caroline :) Anyone who hasnt been to Prague..should definitely go!
I dont eat alot of junkfood, but if I do...my 3 weaknesses are Sour Cream and Onion Pringles, Doritos, and Double Stuff Oreos. Why this is blog worthy..im not sure...but the slogan once you pop you cant stop..is so true. And yes...I lick the sour cream and onion off each one before I eat it. Its that good :)
On Saturday Amanda, Ashley, and I spent an American day in Vienna. We shopped, sit at Starbucks, went to see Remember Me, and ate at an English Sports Pub. Thats the best cheeseburger in Vienna. O...and if you havent seen Remember Me. Its a must see. I was emotionally unstable for the next 30 minutes after..but its worth it.
In the US we consume 1/5 of the world's total coffee consumption. Most American's dont know however, that the coffee we drink that is not fair trade is the equivalent to sweatshops...Many coffee farmers receive wages so low that they are driven into poverty. If you purchase fairtrade..the coffee you are buying is regulated and ensures that the people who worked hard to farm the coffee beans are getting paid for their work. So before you buy..make sure its fair trade. Starbucks has it...you just have to ask for it. If consumers speak out about it...the coffee industry will be forced to change for the better. Even better...you can buy from gobena.org and 100% of the profits go to helping orphans all around the world.
When I get a big girl job..the first thing I wanna buy or rescue is a puppy. I either want a cavachon, cavapoo, cockapoo, or maltipoo. When I grow up..in like 10 years..i think I want a boxer...but until i want one of these lil guys.
