Important things
Mar. 5th, 2005 01:05 pmAbout my last day in prague:
1) When the receptionists changed shifts in the evening, the night guy was confused because the day person hadn't recorded that I was staying an extra night. He then asked if "my sister" was still there, meaning![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lilith23. I didn't bother to correct him.
2) In the morning, when I was drunkenly attempting to pack up and shower, the Very Sorry English Guys came in. They'd slept in the dorm with Fraoigh, Leah, and I the previous night and had come in wee hours very drunk, also. The big guy sat down at the table and was very quiet, except for every few minutes he would say, "Sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm never like this, I don't know what's got into me." Except he hadn't done anything. The other two came to me individually to apologize if they'd woken me up the evening before, and also kept apologizing for having woken me up that morning, even though I explained to them several times that they hadn't, I was just getting ready to leave. Their Australian friend just sat around shaking his head and laughing at them.
3) Another thing confusing the Very Sorry English guys was that they were not aware thatlilith23 and I were not the same person. They kept saying, "Hey, wasn't your hair shorter and without blue earlier?" and the like. I kept saying, "No, that's my friend Leah. She's gone back to London." And then they'd forget and ask me again in five minutes.
4) I'm angry because when I bought my liquor and cigarettes in the Prague duty-free shop, the stupid cashier kept saying "Final destination London, yes?" and I told her three times, "No, United States." and she kept saying "london, yes." I then noticed on the airplane that the receipt had VAT added onto it. I feel it wasn't quite enough to bother messing with getting a refund, but I'm angry that the woman was stupid. It's not as if I was saying something complicated in English. Just the name of my fucking country.
About today:
5) It's REALLY FUCKING WARM here. I was able to take Kuma around the lake in just a tank top and a light jacket that remained around my waist most of the time. I've got my windows open and really should have put the screen in cause now there's a giant something flying around. It won't hold still enough for me to see what it is.
