Dear Readers!
Ready to hear more about my visit to Prague? On Wednesday, Lenka, my third and only non-danish Au pair came to visit us. She lives in a small town about an hour away from Prague. The first thing thing my brothers did when Lenka arrived, was strip to their underpants and dance around the apartment, you can tell they might have been a bit nervous to meet her. Luckily I wasn't there during this debacle, I was at the grocery store with Aba and Safta. We met up with Lenka, Mamma and the boys and a Thai massage store. Where Milo was sticking his feet into a pool of little fish. My first reaction was, "Ewwww!!" and I looked away. But later, I timidly put my hand in the water and was surprised by the strange tingling sensation all throughout my arm. I yanked my arm out and was scolded by the lady supervising us. Embarrassed, I carefully put my hand back in the water. Once I got used to the strange buzzing feeling of the fish biting my hands, I joined in on the conversation between Lenka, my parents, and Safta. Lenka is an aspiring actress, after she lived with us for almost a year she moved to L.A. and then to London. I enjoyed listening to her stories, because I like acting myself. But I don't think I'd want to go professional. After Milo finished drying of his feet. We set out to go and ride a segway. You see, each of us kids got to pick one thing we wanted to do or see in Prague. Milo picked the fish massage, and Yanai and I picked segways. Yanai, Mamma and I set off one the segway. We didn't do much sightseeing just riding around. Our guide is an architecture student, and he told us the history of lot's of the famous buildings in Prague.
When we got home from the 'exhausting ' Segway trip, we all (including Milo, Safta, Aba and Lenka) made our way back to our lovely little apartment to warm up some leftover pasta for dinner. While Safta, Mamma and Aba prepared dinner, Lenka the boys and I retreated to my room to make a movie. We started by doing our makeup. The boys with dirt (eyeshadow) blood (lipstick) and scars (eyeliner) all over their faces. Lenka and I had matching evil faces, we drew with eyeliner. One big arching eyebrow, one eye with overdone eyeliner, half our lips painted black, and a scar on our foreheads. Then, based on the makeup, we made up a story. We were the four people who control the 4 elements of the earth. Fire, water, wind, and earth. Lenka and I decided that we wanted the world to be evil and so we began to fight Yanai and Milo.... I mean Howling Wind and Water Man. Then they destroyed us and good ruled over the world again. A classic hero story. I think Lenka was particularly good at playing an evil character considering she is not ONE BIT evil! Her evil laugh and expression weren't half convincing.
(Being not half convincing means really convincing. It is a saying I picked up in England. Like I wasn't half scared means I was REALLY scared.) The first day with Lenka was wonderful and we toured the city with her for the next to days. Climbing to the top of the fake Eiffel tower. Sitting on the babies with barcode faces and just walking around touring Prague's many historical sites.

P.S. I might not be able to post for a while because I am now traveling in China and I will not always have WiFi.
