My roommates have taught me how to play Egyptian rat slap, and I am learning to play euchre. We also met an Irish man who taught us how to play a game called scabby queen.
However, in terms of sports, hockey is the Czech national sport, and a lot of people are fans of soccer, which is called football outside the U.S.
A pro-democracy group (democracy being the type of government we have in the U.S.) has been hosting a ton of protests in Prague over the past couple of weekends. The group gathers and protests peacefully, and local law enforcement helps block off streets and protect protesters. The protestors are gathering to show support for leaders who work to make the Czech Republic democratic. They are expecting 200,000 to 400,000 people to show up this Saturday, which will really interrupt travel around the city.
