Můžete to zopakovat prosím? Could you repeat that please?

Hey everyone this is my first post on my blog about my year in the Czech Republic. I don't know how often I'll be updating it, but I will be using it throughout the year so keep checking back for updates.

I've only been here for two days, but it feels like I left the US so long ago. Everything is different here, from the houses to the towels. I've been a little overwhelmed what with everything being in Czech and whatnot. The entire cultural change is overwhelming too. Lunches are ridiculous here. The entire day stops to have lunch. It was the first thing I did with my host family when I got here. We had soup first and then chicken and rice. My entire host family sat down and ate together and they all talked over each other in Czech and had a great time. Today (Sunday) after church we went to my host grandmother's house for lunch and the entire extended family came by to eat. It was so different to have everyone living close by each other and not 16 hours away on the other side of the country. It was before lunch that my little host cousin showed me his childrens czech to english book which covered seasons, holidays and things like that. He's about six or seven and he would read the word in czech and I had to repeat it. It was probably the stupidest I've ever felt in my entire life, but it did help me to learn a couple new words and was interesting to read. School starts in about a week and I'm more than a little nervous for that since I still don't even have a schedule yet. I did get to drive past my school today; it's a large four story yellow building that looks very interesting from the outside. Tomorrow I have to go to the "police" as my host father said, to finalize some visa stuff and on Tuesday I'm either going to Brno (a nearby city pronounced "Burno") or going to see a movie. It should be an interesting couple of days leading into a very interesting year. Uherský Brod is a gorgeous city in a valley with many beautiful buildings in it. I'll put up some pictures once I have them. I'm having a great time here in Europe and I can't wait to experience more, but I do miss home, especially my basement room since my room here is on the third floor and rather warm in comparison.
