PRAGUE DAILY MONITOR/PRAGUE WANDERER
Seven months ago, I was in New York at an information session about the study abroad program in Prague. I was almost sold, as slide after slide of beautiful architecture and cobblestone streets flashed before my eyes. I only needed to ask one simple question, and I would buy my ticket that night.
“Have non-white students had problems living in Prague?”
The chatty adviser, an American with short blond hair and round eyes, paused. Nodding almost hysterically, she replied, “Well, Czechs tend to be pretty open-minded about other ethnicities. We’ve had very few problems with past students,” putting stress on the “Well,” and the “tend.”
I didn’t mind.
