Interviews are over and all went well. Not scintillating conversation but when all you talk about is phenomes and elision, what's left to say. The lady from Trinity was very nice. We are now certified by Trinity College of Oxford to teach English as a foreign language. Look out students.
Our last few days in Prague were busy. So many souvenirs to buy and so little time. We took a day trip to the town of Karlsbjrg. It's claim to fame is a picturesque castle sitting on a craggy hill over looking the the quaint little souvenir shops that seem to make up the entire village of Karlsbjrg. It was 45 minute train ride from Prague with trains rolling through every half hour. It was quite quiet the day we visited but I expect that it can be quite a busy place in the high season. It was cold and windy and castles are not exactly energy efficient. Did not spoil the day as the castle was awsome. Once a facility guy always a facility guy.
We woke up Friday, our departure day to find Prague completely fogged in. Ohoh! Hey, we don't fly out for five hours, no problem, the fog will be gone by then. OhOh! We arrived at the gate for our flight from Frankfurt to Vancouver 10 minutes after the flight left the boarding gate. Seems the fog in Prague is denser that other places and so our flight for Frankfurt departed two hours late. Re-booked for Calgary and we only lost 2 hours. Whoohoo! Flight was great arriving to Calgary on time and in the middle of a blizzard. OhOh! Boarded the Vancouver plane 45 minutes late then sat on the tarmac for 80 minutes waiting to be de-iced and the blizzard getting worse. We eventually depart for Vancouver. Flights great, on time to Vancouver arriving in a blizzard. What the hell! It's April for pete's sake. Global warming my ass! Our 14 hour travel time from Prague became 25 hours. Ah but the fun is not over. The snow continues to plague us as we drive from the airport to downtown Vancouver then out to the wilds of Surrey/Langley to find our hotel. Finally a small blizzard to complete the cycle as we drove home through the Hope Princeton highway. Whoohoo! We are home!

I’ve been to Prague many times and I never get sick of it. Last time I was there for 15days. I found the city beautiful, like a fairytale land, the towers, the castles and the cathedral gives the city that mystic ambient that I love.
I love Czech people they are very nice and friendly and also a literate society, as you can see here in this government document. Besides the small streets I loved the place we slept in I’ll leave you here a very good site about Prague hotels, they are cheap and very pleasant. Incase you decide to come back.
