Birthdays are fun in any language

Saturday, January 27, 2007

What I love best about living in Prague is the variety of cultures and people we are privileged to interact with. I think it's such a rich experience for our entire family. The Monday morning playgroup Lydia, Marcus and I attend includes mothers and their children from Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Hungary, Russia, Turkey and Slovenia to name a few. In fact, we are the only Americans!

This particular Saturday morning we, as a family, were invited to the 3-year birthday party of one of our playgroup friends. We all had a wonderful time celebrating with Elisabetta, her parents and little brother. On our way home we realized that once again, we had the pleasure of spending time with people from so many different backgrounds: South America, Italy, Hungary and Belarus... How cool! At one point, Elisabetta's Italian grandfather was playing with a little Czech boy, Jakub. They were each speaking their native language but somehow they managed to communicate and even seemed to understand one another.

What?!? Can it be?!?! Lydia is sitting still and everyone else is moving???
