Wednesday
Yesterday I taught music at CISP: 20 students in grades 1-7.
Last evening my "student" Blanka came over to my house and had supper with me. She practiced her English, and I learned a little more about Czech culture. For example, if you say to a Czech, "Would you like some ice cream?" they must say "No" even if they do want some. So you ask again, "Would you like some ice cream?" Again they will say, "No." So you ask a third time, "Would you like some ice cream?" And then they will take it. If you do not ask 3 times, you are considered rude!
Today I went to a video store with American movies, and the clerk was one of my students!! What a nice surprise!
When I headed over to CISP, I tried a different route, and got lost, walking around in a big circle! Trial and error.
