Back in Prague today, and getting ready for NYE… hopefully it will be a good celebration!
Plenty of tourists around for sure, it’s an extremely popular city.
One of my favorite things about the season is getting mail from my friends abroad, including my online friends that I met mainly during the pandemic. It makes me so happy. Although we use Internet to connect, handwriting feels so much more human.
You know, when you are in the Netherlands for example you can just speak English with people (I mean you can do the “excuse me do you speak English” but in my experience they’ll just reply “lmao what do you think” so it’s not really necessary). This absolutely wasn’t the case in Germany like a decade ago. Nowadays it feels like you can approach most people under 30 and they’ll speak decent enough English. You can still not easily survive here if you don’t speak German, but English speakership has definitely increased over the past years quite rapidly. I don’t know why.
The temperature dropped from around 20C last night to slightly below freezing this afternoon.
