Travel and Prague

So this morning i woke up to the hotest train cabin in the world and an hour early. The lady said she would come by and wake us up an hour before  the train arrived at 11:40 and she woke us up 2 hours early. That should have been my first clue something was wrong. My second should have been we weren't moving.  The whole night they froze us to death and now that it's morning and the sun is blazing in. Nothing. I thought I was going to pass out from heat stroke. We sat still for over an hour and a half. Ugh. When I went to bed at night there was a car attached to the barthroom. When I woke up an engine and when I came out of the bathroom. Nothing. Just the track hahha. So we sat there forever and ate our roll for breakfast. Long story short they messed up and we didn't get into Prague until 4:40. Five hours late. Awesome. Apparently we were late and our engine didn't wait for us. I don't know. But after all my creeper experiences I'm getting good at detecting the non creepers to sit with. I found a nice mom and daughter from Texas or something. I got my magazine fix too! Ahh. When I arrived I was starving because all they fed us was a roll and I got one more from the asains. I had to get a subway pass and get krowns. Now I have four currencies with me. Yay. So I took 2 subways and met up with grace! It's so good to be with my friends again! I sat with them while they did their homework at a pub and then we went to her apartment. It is so nice!! Free washing machine and a hair dryer and an actual apartment! I get to sleep on the couch but I don't care! It's comfy and it's free and it has amenities! Yay! We all got ready and went out to a jazz festival in old town. The square is goregous and it was a lot of fun to be in that scene! I got ham from a vendor for dinner and later found that I was ripped off. Mine was so expensive comared to theirs! And the prices here really freak me out! I have been here 2 days and still have to pull out my converter to see how much I'm spending. Dinner is about 250 krowns which is about $12.50. I just had to pull out the converter to tell you that. Haha. I'm so confussed. We sat and watched the festival for a while and then went out to meet the others and find a club. We went a had a beer at an empty place and then headed off to another club. There were more people at this one but the music was terrible. Not terrible but it wasn't in any of my top picks. It was 90s American music. Music from at least ten years ago. When I asked the dj if he had anything more recent he had no idea what I was saying. I still don't know how to say please or thank you or anything in Czech. We ended up getting a fish bowl drink. Which is exactly what it sounds like... They make one giant drink and put it in a fish bowl and shove a lot of straws in it hahha. We had a lot of fun but it was kinda dull. There ended up being a little drama at the end of the night but grace and I just ended up going home and going to bed. But it was still 3 in the morning haha. Long day but good to be with friends again!
