I just want to let you know that I arrived in Brno safely!
The journey yesterday was quite exhausting, it took me 12 hours to get here and I nearly missed my connecting bus because I was leaving early.
But somehow I made it and now I'm in the second biggest city of the Czech Republic doing an intensive language course along with 44 other exchange students from 17 different European countries.

My roommate is Maria, a 21-year-old shoe designer from Estonia and we get along really well (since we are the two only blonde chicks here we have to stick together :).
Today we started with our first few Czech words and learned to say where we're from and stuff like that.
After three hours of language course we had another part where we learned about Czech culture, history and geography.
In the evening we went to a typical Czech pub where I tried some goulash with dumplings, it tasted great!

So what's my first impression of the Czech republic?
It's really green over here, the people are friendly and open-minded (even though unfortunately most of the older people don't speak English, so I really have to get going with my studying!), I love the architecture and the old buildings and everything is so cheap (0,5 litres of beer cost less than one Euro!).

I have to get going now because I still have some homework to do for the language course in the morning, I hope everything's fine over in Germany and I'm looking forward to hear from you!
