except it’s not a very good vocab lesson because I still don’t know the word.
On our way back from ‘class’ (more on that later) this AM, I wanted to stop for bandaids because my new shoes chewed up my feet. I brought bandaids with me but they didn’t stick very well in the heat under the strap of the shoes. So I go into the drug store near the apartments and ask for a ‘band aid’. Got offered a tampon, then a pad. 
Finally I slipped off the sandals and showed him the blisters.
I got a box of “Bang-Ze”s. My favourite part:
“Scope of Application: It is mainly used for surgery to paste wound or fix pinhead of intravenous transfusion.”
Guess I got some sturdy bang-zes.
I’m going to file bandaids with hangers and adaptors.
Class was a non-event today. We met in the computer lab at 9:30 to walk together because none of us knew where we were going. We eventually arrived at 12:15 after a scenic tour of Prague. It was a good way to learn the city and get to know each other a bit. We met the staff at the NYU Center (some photos-not mine- here) and then opted for a ‘traditional Czech lunch’ (mmm tagliatelle with salmon!) before returning to the rooms for a siesta.
We aimed to attend the Czech soccer/football match, but 45 minutes after the game had started, we were still wandering around so 9 of us chose to watch it from a pub while a few braved the elements. I’m not too heart broken because we’ll be touring the stadium later in the week.
While we haven’t had a formal class, we had some interesting discussions re: naming rights, sports and tourism, the Olympics, etc. I think it’s going to be a great class. And as per usual when I’m in Europe, I want to see it all. I have three weekends to play with and they’re shaping up to be: Auschwitz, Berlin and ____. With the pattern I almost need a “C” city though I’m actually leaning towards Italy if there’s a cheap flight since the trains are just too long (+5 from Prague to Vienna). Copenhagen is a possibility however since Sterling flies there. I love LCL for all the options they offer.
Decisions, decisions…
