Yup.
So its 245 in the mornign the night before I leavce the czech republic.. I’m leaveing a completely different life for the one im about to embark on. Its going to be a strange transistion. I just have to remember that its no more strange than moving to the Czech republic alone. But the psychology involved is sometimes overwhelming.
What im goin got miss about the Czech republic
The beer
The bear
The ease of trams
The metros
The international trains
The z card
The domestic trains
The people on the trains
The women on the trains at 10 in the morning
The baby carriages
The random absurd art
The small village that looks like every other one
The 60kc daily menu
The 25kc beer
Delvita
Baggin your own groceries
Putting 10kc coins to get a cart
Riding the tram one stop for free
530 wake up alarms
spending the majority of the day driving
falling asleep in Prague and waking up in a different time and a different world
playing for kids
doing the magic
digging in kids’ ears
shoving 10 year old children around with a fake plastic gun pretending to be a government agent in search of aliens
being the alien
being the ‘evil brother’ Stephen
rolling a cigarette on stage
making out with air on stage
being hard
interacting with Czech kids
talking to them in Czech
leading them towards understanding
hoping to make a connection
maybe making a random connection that I will never know about
playing in nice theaters
playing good shows
a nice meal after shows
driving through Moravia in the fall
driving down a tree lined road in the fall
commuting for work
working my ass off for bullshit language agencies
buying the homeless magazine
showing a ticket controller my pass in confidence
buggering off for a weekend in a different country
paying 300kc to travel by train all the way across the country
the eye candy
trying to speak Czech
skiing in the mountains for 150kc
random vacationing skiing for less than 2000kc
rolling and smoking a joint in a nice bar
ease of experiencing art
ease of having a random experience
Czechtek
Waking up and not knowing exactly to expect
Pim’s cookies
Ease of seeing manmade beauty
Ease of hearing poetry or music
Genuine people experiencing life
Amazing churches within a walking distance from anywhere
Cheap food
Cheap rent
Sense of renewal constantly
Open frontiers
Open possibilities
More freedom
More ease
Less stress
Less pressure
More isolated
More unaffected
Less frustrated
More extroverted
Less self conscious
More self conscious
