  2. Handouts • Handout materials to the entire class: • Orientation Guide • Streetwise Prague Maps • Walking tour map and directions. • Handout materials by roommate: • Guidebooks • Money Belts

  3. Czech Language • Orientation guide page 13 (good). • DK guidebook page 271 (better). • Fodor’s page 265 (best).

  4. Orientation Guide • Metro Map • Calendar • Hotels

  5. Eating Out (p. 11) • Czechs will usually start a meal with a drink before food arrives. You should wait until everyone has a drink and then toast by saying “Na Zdravi”. • Lightly touch glasses with everyone at the table and look into their eyes as doing so. • Try not to cross your arms with another person when touching glasses.

  6. Eating Out • When food arrives wish everyone a good appetite by saying “Dobrou Chut”. • In restaurants you will usually seat yourself. If there is no host/hostess greeting you at the door then simply pick an open table where you would like to sit and your waitperson will assist you.

  7. Walking Tour • On Jan 14th I will give you a guided tour of Prague. • This will be a long day, so wear good waterproof, comfortable shoes. • The schedule is on page 17 of your orientation guide. • Please bring the map and directions with you on Jan 14th, along with your guidebooks.

  8. Shopping • Pages 18 &19 of your orientation guide lists several shopping districts and shopping malls. • There are several boutiques that carry European designers that are not yet available in the US, but in general these items are quite expensive.

  9. Other Info • Page 4 of your orientation guide lists the hotel information and on page 7 is my contact information. • Starting on page 19 there are some basic tips for getting the most out of the course. • The US Consular Information Sheet and other information on the Czech Republic starts on page 21.

  10. Class Website • Most of the information here is in your orientation guide, but the website will be updated regularly, even when we are in the Czech Republic. Questions?
