So today, I was mistaken for a native! Very exciting, I'm glad that I don't have "tourist" stamped across my forehead . . . A group of us were walking back from dinner and found this supermarket we heard was better than the one we'd been using, so we went up to see the hours (it was obviously closed). At the same time, another group of older (well, "old" as in late 50s, early 60s range-- sorry to offend anyone!) were looking at the same thing. The conversation went a little like this:
Man: "Hmm . . . it closed at 21:00. What time is that?"
Me: "9 o'clock, about 10 minutes ago."
Man: "WOW! You have really good English!"
And at that point my whole group just bursts out laughing, as I explain that we're actually from the US. One of the ladies commented on how we must have been here for a while because we looked like we belonged and knew what we were doing! This is our fourth full day here . . .
Also, just a side note about my day quickly while I have time to write on here (it's been kind of hard keeping up with writing and going through photos for this) . . . I had history class today for the first time, and it was really good! We had lecture for an hour, which today was pretty much just explaining the class and professor's background, and then went on our first field trip into the city for the other two hours of class! Our professor, Petr (like Peter in the US), is great-- definitely will enjoy this class!
