Readjusting to NYC

So, I'm back stateside and trying to figure out how I will spend the rest of my time in New York City. I'm subletting from a friend in Bushwick until the lease is up in August, at which point I will hopefully be ready to move to Prague indefinitely.

Until then, I've been trying to get back on my bike as much as possible and catch up with friends.

Bělehrad, Srbsko

In December I took a long journey to visit my friend Nora who lives in Belgrade, Serbia. Prague and Belgrade are just close enough that direct flights are insanely expensive but just far enough that taking a train or a bus would take forever. Ultimately, I took a train to Vienna where I took a bus to the airport on the outskirts of town and got on a very short commuter flight to Belgrade. It was a long trip but definitely worth it to finally see Nora and where she lives. Also, train rides through the Czech Republic are unspeakably beautiful.

Snow covered Prague

After a large snowstorm, I broke out my Yashica to try to capture Prague while the snow was still fresh- before it got too slushy and brown.

Stýská se mi po Praze

Well, the second half of the semester clearly left me quite busy enjoying my time in the Czech Republic. Sadly, I am back in the U.S. now and trying to make sense of life again. Currently, I am planning to graduate this summer and then move back to Prague to teach English. I cannot wait.

The last 6 weeks of the semester were as busy as the preceding 8: Berlin, Belgrade, concerts, flea markets, American Thanksgiving in Prague, massive snow storms, meeting new people, and ultimately- saying goodbye. It wasn't easy but I know it is not the last I'll see of Prague.
