Old Town
Next, we would
visit Prague. Prague is a beautiful city with cobblestone streets. I learned so
much about Czech culture and business practices during this visit. We dropped
our things off in our rooms and had lunch. Then, we visited our first business,
the Czech National Bank. The speaker provided a wealth of knowledge about the
financial structure of the Czech Republic.

Our second visit would be to a newspaper, MF Dnes. Our speaker was very open and
informed about the state of the newspaper industry in Prague. He answered questions
before giving us a tour of the building. It was good to visit a media business.

Czech culture is
rich and full of defining moments; our coordinator was extremely knowledgeable
about Czech history. We enjoyed a guided tour of Prague’s old town, and the
architecture was beautiful. We saw the astronomical clock in the old town
square, which is an event that many people huddle around to see.
We visited the Terezin
concentration camps, which was a life altering experience. It was a glimpse
into a tragic part of humanities’ history, but I know that there is value in
learning about all aspects of a country’s history in our global economy.
We had one last
class and a going away dinner; it was an enjoyable night. We were able to relax
and reflect on our dynamic educational experience. The next day, we flew back
home to our respective cities.
My overall
impression of the trip was positive. We had two professionally accomplished
professors teaching our course. The entire group seemed to benefit greatly from
the experience. I am glad to have been a part of the first Keller students to
study abroad. I definitely grew professionally and personally.
