I realized today that I have been constantly dodging tourists on a daily basis for the past 3 years. Going to school in New York City I am constantly surrounded by flash bulbs blinding me as I walk under the Washington Sq Arch on my way to class. During the summer I literally have to wade through tourists clogging the Ben & Jerry’s Gift shop. This year I thought it might be a little different being in Prague for a semester. How wrong I was. The two NYU buildings are mere feet from one of the largest tourist attractions in Prague, the Astronomical Clock. What makes it worse is that these people are waiting (sometimes for up to 30 mins) to watch a clock chime. Not only that but daily I am assaulted by pub crawl promoters who are some of the lewdest and awkwardest people I have ever had to interact with. I see no end until i graduate with this problem. Maybe this is why my sister works on a farm after graduating from NYU…
