Christmas comes
I’m sure you’ve noticed it, but Christmas is on its way. Well, it seems to have appeared on arpia.be a few days in advance, despite the studying. A little touch, just enough to remind me of the fact that it is going to be a time for getting together, as a family, as friends, and so on.
Yay, presents & such. Rats, exams. Bother.
For all those who can relax, enjoy your holidays and the Christmas spirit (if there is anything of the kind).
Being a tourist in Prague
Speaking a number of languages and easily picking up on similarities between languages has enabled to find my way easily in most parts of the world I’ve visited. The last time I was in a country that didn’t use a language in any way similar to English, French, Dutch or German, I was in Egypt. Even then, most of the signs were also in English, if I recall correctly.
But when I arrived in Prague (Czech Republic) on Friday, I realised that I was at a total loss. Czech isn’t anywhere near any of those languages, so I sometimes had to become something I hate being: a true tourist.
