Fred & Ginger

Now, as this is supposed to be a travel blog, and I didn't really expect to talk much about the TEFLing side of life.. other than that's the reason for my "traveling" here, so you may notice that I'll talk less and less about my job as things progress. Who wants to hear about work anyway?

That having been said, my first class was this morning (woke up at a painful 5:30am), and, aside from the new-job "am I prepared enough?" nervousness, it wasn't all that extraordinary. EXCEPT for the fact that I met my client in a very unique building: the Dancing House.

Also known as "Fred and Ginger" (after Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers), the Dancing House (Tančící dům), which sits next to the Vltava river, was built in the 90s to replace a building that had been shot to hell in 1945. Aside from a French restaurant on the top floor (La Perle de Prague), there are several multinational firms located throughout it - which explains why I ended up with a client there.

UPDATE (09 Sept): Well, my client in this building decided to cancel her classes. Apparently that happens a lot. I'll have a new class by tomorrow. Still, I can say that I've worked in that building :-)
