We had our first day of "School" today, the beginning of our TEFL certificate. It was interesting and strange, with a whole lot of nothing thrown on your plate. We are expected to 'just plan a lesson and teach' with a look of 'what's so hard about that?' from the teacher and a bunch of blank expressions from the students. All in all we think it will be fun, the people are really nice and the course is not too busy, with a day off Tuesday and a cheeky Friday afternoon off too! Our first actual teaching classes begin this week, one on one with a local Czech, teaching them basically whatever they want to know. If we can manage to hold a interesting conversation with a stranger who speaks intermediate English for one hour then we are doing well.
Prague is such a beautiful city, with photo moments coming up at almost every corner. We found the tower that the Amazing Race contestants had to climb, and it is just down our street! It feels very surreal. The area we are living in is amazing, Namesti Republiky, which is about 15 minutes walk from Old Town Square (where the astronomical clock is). This area is beautiful, close to the Charles Bridge, but FULL to the brim with tourists, a little like us actually :) Here is a photo of the Prasna Brana aka Powder Gate from Amazing Race:
