Hus Day

To me, Jan Hus is a name out of the history books, and I in fact had no idea that Hussites were still around. Lo and behold, I now live right next door to a Hussite church, and I set my clock to its bells which ring every quarter hour. There is Hussite iconology everywhere, and a gigantic statues of Jan Hus in the old town square. Today and tomorrow is even the Jan Hus national holiday, so a lot of stores are closed. yet we still have our five hours of class a day. yawn.

Fun Czech word for the day:
ctvrtek = thursday
