Ibhola Lethu

Once again, far too long between posts, and far too much important information to impart in the limited time I have available. Who would have thought the life of an English teacher could be so busy?

As I egotistically reported last week, 'twas indeed my birthday. So a hearty Thank you! to those of you who sent birthday wishes, and in some cases, gifts! Woo-hoo! The Polka dot and I had a quiet birthday dinner at a local pub/restaurant which was quite nice. We followed it up with a celebratory pub crawl with friends on Friday, and the rest of the weekend was spent recovering from Friday night (in Polka dot's case at least; I was fine!).

The weekend before, I went to my first professional football match (aka soccer, for you Americans) with Polka dot and our friend Courtney. One of my classes is for a publishing company that publishes, among other things, sports magazines and newspapers, and one of my students had free tickets, which he gave to me! The match was between AC Sparta, one of Prague's top teams, and FK Teplice. More information on the clubs (in English) can be found here and here. Unfortunately, both teams were good enough that it was a scoreless game (nil-nil, as the Brits say), but we had a fun time, and a it was good day for a match: warm (finally!) and though a bit rainy, our seats were covered. And we got to hear the Sparta Ultras (kinda like "superfans") chanting, "Let's go, Sparta, let's go!" in English. Kinda surreal, and unlike in the U.S., live sports games here don't have an announcer giving a running commentary, so all in all, it seemed strangely quiet. Afterwards, we joined our friend Adrian for a bite to eat as his local pub/eatery, than we headed to another pub for pool and foozball. Woo!

Of course, before even that, we went to Budapest. Sadly, however, the details of that particular journey will have to wait for another time. This weekend, perhaps? Who knows! I'll even try to get a few pics up for your viewing pleasure, as well.

Until then, Sizobonana!
