Something WAY off topic....
I was looking through some pictures tonight, and decided to scan a few in. Last summer (2004) I studied abroad in the Czech Republic for four weeks. It was an intensive immersion into the Czech language (we received three quarters of credit for four weeks). After that, a couple friends of mine and I travelled up to Poland, and then back south to Romania to check out Transylvania and the home of Vlad Dracule, the original Vampire. Anyway, here's some pics I thought you all might enjoy.
This is a pic of the gang we were studying with: all us English speakers had to stick together, you know? Olomouc, Czech Republic:

My roomy, Jenn, and I, freezing our butts off in Brasov, Romania. We were able to wear shorts and tees in Olomouc, but once we hit the mountains, it got COLD!
