Život v Cizine (was La Vie Expatriée)
I'm finally satisfying a long-held dream of living abroad.
Having started in France, I've now moved on to the Czech Republic.

Good Deed for the Day
On the tram this morning was a group of American students, four girls. I wasn't paying much mind initially, but I soon realized that they were paying close attention to the display board that shows the upcoming stops. I finally asked one of them where they were going and was told "Krymská". I pointed out that they were headed in the wrong direction and needed to hop off an catch a tram going the opposite direction.
One of the students complimented me on my excellent English (!), before asking me where I was from. I admitted to being an American myself, living in Prague for just over a year, and was immediately pumped for advice on sights and food.
Turns out that they're exchange students at a university in Rome. They have a 10-day holiday and are spending it travelling. They had just arrived from Germany, and will be in Prague 2 days before moving on to Budapest.
I certainly hope they found their hostel and manage to enjoy themselves!

Nicely done, Doris! I love Matthew 25 people in action.

Ah, gee, you're making me blush! Thanks.
