Our News

What main languages are spoken here?:

Czech is the main language. I also hear English pretty often in Prague, especially in restaurants, tourist areas and around other students, but Czech is still what I see and hear most in everyday life.

What type of money is used here?:

The Czech Republic uses the Czech koruna, abbreviated CZK or Kč. Right now, 100 Kč is about $4.62 USD.

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

The cheapest bottle of water I’ve found at a grocery store was 6.90 Kč, which is only around 32 cents in U.S. dollars! However, water can cost much more at restaurants or in tourist areas.

What was the best meal this week?:

LAMI’s Lanzhou beef hand-pulled noodles! The noodles are made by hand, and the portion was huge. They were so delicious and I ended up sharing some with my friends.

What music did I listen to this week?:

I listened to a lot of alternative and soft pop while studying, and reggaeton and other Latin genres while cooking, cleaning or walking around Prague for my Art & Architecture class. Sometimes listening to music from home while exploring a completely different city feels kind of funny.

What activity was the most fun this week?:

Going to a Mexican restaurant called Fosil with my friend!
