Today was quite the day. It started by waking up at 5:30 am since we were meeting at 5:50, though the bus didn’t end up leaving until 6:30 since it got delayed. We made it more than half of the way to the glass factory when something happened to the tire (I don’t even know…

Today (or yesterday, oops), we started by visiting NanoTech. This is not actually a nanotech company, but instead manages energy usage for their clients to try to optimize energy production and consumption. We then took a trip to the pharmacy (which I needed desperately), and got lunch where I got a quesadilla. We then went…

After finally getting the opportunity to sleep in, we were off to Kunthalle today. We first listened to a presentation about the foundation of the company from Ivana. We also heard about the architecture, which is interesting because all of the buildings in Prague are so old, so they are like a “shell” for the…

Today we visited Český Krumlov, which was my favorite place of the trip so far. It was a 2.5 hour bus ride each way, but was worth every minute. The town built into the natural landscape with the hills and the river was absolutely amazing. Once we got there, we walked around and saw the…

Today was another phenomenal day, and is probably one of my favorites so far. We started out our day today with breakfast, as always, before getting on a bus and heading to Kunta Hora. While there, we saw the church with bones as decorations, which was unsettling but simultaneously amazing. Afterwards, we headed to a…

Today, we had a very eventful day. We started out with an hour bus ride to the power plant. We then did a tour of the plant, including looking off the balcony 28 stories up! Afterwards, we had an awesome catered lunch, and then watched a fun 3D movie. We then went to the open…

Dobrý den!! Today was a day full of fun and cool experiences. We started out at Charles University, where we did a language class in the morning, and I learned how many uses there are for prosím. took a break for lunch, and listened to a history/economics lecture in the afternoon where we discussed engineering…

Every day I leave this hotel, I am even more excited to explore this amazing city. We started out our day today by visiting SIC, a company that provides resources to promising startups. We got to see some products from startups that SIC has helped, such as a rice pasta company (gluten free), a little…

Today, we had our first class at Charles University, where we listened to a history lecture about Czechoslovakia from 1918-around 1980. Afterward, we had a scavenger hunt. Not to brag, but totally bragging that my group won the hunt. We then got lunch at the cutest cafe I’ve ever been in, and went to our…

Today was a long, but very fun day! We started off with breakfast in the hotel, which was very amazing since there were so many different types of food and drinks to enjoy. Next, we went on a walking tour of Prague with Jana, who showed us around the Charles bridge and the other side…

Just yesterday, we boarded a bus to the Pittsburgh airport. 3 flights, 19 hours, and a few naps later we landed in Prague! Today we spent most of the day getting settled in this new place and exploring the streets of this amazing city. We visited Charles bridge and the museum, and then I broke…
