Welcome!

Hello family and friends!

Welcome to my prague blague, I hope you czech it often ;).  I figured it'd be easiest to create one of these rather than sending out a mass e-mail every now and then so I hope you all enjoy!

I depart the good old US of A on September 3rd and arrive in Prague around 1pm on the 4th after a 5 hour layover in Frankfurt.  The last time I was in Frankfurt my plane unfortunately was trying to land during what was probably the only hurricane Germany has ever seen, so I'm hoping that this upcoming experience will be a little less traumatizing.

A woman named Iva will be picking me up from the airport and will then take me to my apartment in the city. I'm still waiting on the address to the apartment, but evidently it's only few blocks from my training center which is located at:

Frantiska Krizka 1

Prague 7

170 00

I THINK that I'm located in what is called the Holesovice area, and the training center is just a couple of blocks from a park called "Letenske Sady".  I'll be able to give more details once I get over there/get the address of my apartment so stay tuned!

As for the teaching part of this whole ordeal, I start my training course on Monday, Sept 7th to begin my certification.  At the end of 4 weeks, I'll have finished the course and earned my TESOL certification which will qualify me to teach english almost anywhere in the world.  During the course, my training center will help me begin my job search in Prague so once I'm finished I should hopefully have a job lined up!  

That's pretty much it for now - I'll post again once I arrive in Prague!  The e-mail that I'll be using when I'm over there is kfriend08@gmail.com.  PLEASE feel free to e-mail me as much as you want and I'll do my best to respond quickly:) The first month while I'm in training is going to be pretty hectic, but I know it will be nice to hear from everyone back home!

Love to all!
