Rather embarrassing Russian moment today at break time. I
went over to ask the Russian!roomie about the party she’d had gone to the night
before, generic “Did you have a nice time?” sort of thing. Only, when I opened
my mouth to speak, it wasn’t Russian that came out, but the weirdest mixture of
Czech and Russian. Causing both Russian!roomie, and French!Nick (who was
actually also Russian, but speaks French quite well) to give me weird looks. I
tried to correct myself several times, until French!Nick put me out of my
misery, saying “We understand” in that calming tone of voice one uses on small
children and those with concussion. Talk about embarrassing and awkward.
S, T and Sheffield!Nic were off to Prague, (T and
Sheffield!Nic to go shopping, and S because her boyfriend is visiting for the
weekend and the pair of them are staying in a hotel in Prague. It’s really
sweet that he came to visit her :)
) so I had lunch with the boys in the kosel, a Czech pub. The food was
delicious and really cheap, but it was a tad unnerving when we noticed a small
sign above the door stating that the previous manager was in jail, and the pub
workers were campaigning for his release. Especially as it didn’t state why he was in jail.
After spending the majority of the afternoon asleep, skyping
or eating chocolate (I have a hard life I know), I joined the boys again for
dinner. As we were walking to the restaurant by the lake, German!Mike was
complaining about Mike (seriously, I saw in summer school there are only about
five different boys’ names!) “knocking him up” in the afternoon. Cue the three
Brits cracking up, and when we explained what he had said, German!Mike joined
in. What he was actually complaining about was Mike waking him up earlier that
afternoon by knocking on his door. Later that evening, whilst we were waiting
for T and Sheffield!Nic to join us, German!Mike had us all in stitches again as
he knocked his beer over whilst explaining something. I think the funniest
thing of the whole event was German!Mike’s face when he realised what he had
done to his beer!
