I'll add that it's great to be back in the country of...
1) ...German speakers. (The Czech language is VERY foreign to me. German = OK.)
2) ...a currency that I can convert in my head. Making sense of "crowns" was nearly impossible for me: I am bad at math. In Prague, everything seemed really expensive because zeros were flying everywhere!!! $500 cK is roughly equally to $30. The zeros scared me; I'm a frugal shopper. The math confounded me. I didn't buy much, or at least I still don't know exactly what I paid for what I did buy. Here with the Euro you just tack on %50. Too bad the dollar isn't stronger.
Tomorrow we will trace footsteps of Haydn, Beethoven, and Schubert.
