-Last night our group saw a theater/dance piece performed by a Slovak group inside a dance club called the Roxy. It involved a trumpet, drums, a suitcase, singing, shouting, and contact improv.
-Today we watched a movie about a Czech work camp.
-The most popular names in Czech seem to be Jiri, Vladimir, Jana, Hana, Jaromir and Lida. In Czech, I'm "Noemi".
-The sun came out today, and on Friday we're journeying to an organic farm and seeing "The Little Prince" performed in Czech.
