itinerary

for some odd reason, my biggest dilemma is what books to bring.  i have imposed a limit of three.  norwegian wood, the unbearable lightness of being, and one more.  i can't decide between banana yoshimoto's kitchen or something by bill bryson.  this is hard.  i think i should be worrying about clothes and shoes.

this is it

the czech consulate kept its word and i got my schengen visa precisely a week before my departure.  i trained myself not to think about it, so even now it seems unreal that on friday i will be relocating to prague (yes, i've been getting a lot of blank stares) for the next five months.
