Halloween

I left Linz, headed to Prague, with a freshly laundered backpack of clothes including new clothes (I rationalized that I needed due to the cold weather).

The point was to meet up with Helen, Kate, and James for a Halloween bash. But since I couldn't get ahold of anyone, and because Halloween isn't celebrated in Prague, I took the night off to catch up on some Z's.

I finished my 5th book, Hearts in Atlantis from Stephen King. Good beginning but poor finish. It seemed as if he wanted to just finish the book in the end. Oh well, I just traded it for Even Cowgirls get the Blues, a book that my stepfather always recommended but that I never had interest in, because he recommended it. Anyway it's turning into a winner.

Not finding the girls, and James tied up with his part-time rent-a-friend business (teaching English) I hung out with Michaela, whom I met the first time in Prague. I went with her and a friend to their English university class. In which they talked all about terrorism in America and what we should do about it... And then I had the nerve to ask if they were concerned about terrorist threats in their nuclear powered country, sadly killing the conversation.

Michaela, her friend, and I headed to a bar for some tea and coffee. Camera-shy [michaela] allowed me to take a photo for my journal before she caught the bus home for the weekend.

Later I finally caught up with [helen & kate] for some dinner. We shared a table with a guy, Tarq, who was starting a school offering classes in dance, music, cooking, etc. all in English. Cool guy; grew up all over the world and spoke a handful of languages pretty fluently because his parents were ambassadors. His goal was to make enough money from the school to buy a spanish flaminco guitar then sell the school and move on...
