Korean Food and Lucy's Birthday (Prague, CZ)

My friend told me of an all you can eat Korean food event going on at a restaurant called Pocha. It had been a while since I had some Korean food, so I decided to go even though it was a bit expensive for what I was getting. It was quite good though. After dinner I went to a friend's birthday party. There were so many Brazilians there, I had no idea that there was a Brazilian community in Prague! I was even able to meet some professional soccer players. Thanks for the invite and I hope you had a wonderful birthday!!!

Book Binding Class (Prague, CZ)

My friend told me about an activity she came across: book binding. I had never even thought about what it would be like to bind a book, so I was quite interested in what it entailed. We went to a very nice Brazilian lady's house to learn the art of book binding. First we were given our materials and then were shown the different types of binding. We learned how to do the very basic one: the butterfly binding technique. We needed to decorate our notebooks and were given stamps and stickers to use if we wanted. The final products turned out pretty good and now I can add another thing I know how to do. In the future I might learn other techniques. Thanks for a great class!

Woman's Day Event (Prague, CZ)

A friend of mine whom I recently met told me about a meeting that was happening on Women's Day in Prague. The topic was about human trafficking. It was a pretty heavy topic and it was presented by a 17 year old woman, which was really impressive. We had great discussions and a couple of people shared their personal insights. It was interesting to hear the different experiences women have had in different parts of the world. After the heavy talk we played some games and discussed other things. I was very happy to be introduced to the Girls Gone International group. I plan on joining more activities. It was very nice to meet you all!

Spanish Coversation Meeting (Prague,CZ)

It had been a couple weeks since I was at the last meeting and since I was already in Prague for the day, I decided I should practice a little bit of Spanish. There were a couple familiar faces, but a few new faces as well. It was a good mix of people and I had a good time, but as usual I had to catch my last bus back to the village. Until next time.......

TEAtalks: Cafe Psychologique: Time

I had the monthly schedule for the cafe, A Maze in Tchiaovna, and came across an event that peeked my interest. I studied a little bit of psychology in university, so I was interested how the topic would be presented. The topic was about time and ironically the event started a bit late. It was interesting to hear different people's perspective about time and the talk was organized quite well. I think one thing that might have made the event even better than what it was is if the audience had more of a chance to break off into groups and discuss what was being discussed. However, I was really pleased with the event and I look forward to going to more in the future.
