"In Prague with students from my school" Prague by AlbertoSalinas

My second trip to Czech Republic had a professional purpose: taking over coordination of a EU supported school program. Students and teachers from 6 schools from 5 countries would gather in Prague and travel Eastwards to Zlin together for work sessions at school, some cultural activities (mainly visits to places of interest like Kromeritz castle, Luhakovice Termal resort, etc) and a formal reception in Zlin Town Hall

3 students and 2 teachers from the school I work travelled with me. Travelling for pleasure, to visit friends or just on holidays is fulfilling, but unfortunately, travelling as a teacher can be very boring sometimes. You do not choose your travel mates, or cannot decide what is interesting for yourself, so sometimes, I found myself in my room at the hotel regretting to spend my time where I was, instead of anywhere else of the nice, beautiful places around

Anyway, the most important of travelling is not the places you go to, but the pleople you meet there

Notice the floodings, it was April 2006!

Oh, my God! My boss took us to "the" typical Czech restaurant. Of course, everyone there were foreigners. I was noticing the effects of the beer in myself when I looked at my students... as a leader of the group, I wondered if I would I be able to guide the party back to the hotel after dinner
