czech hospitality

so yesterday was a national holiday, something about st. wenseslas, they're all about him here. so i was taking my friends kate and katie to find this soup shop that was amazing. i discovered it at the flea market last weekend, you know the chicken soup which tasted like pho. so we go to this sorta sketchy part of town, praha 8, and the place was closed : ( so we get back on the train bound for svichova (a traditional czech meal with pieces of pork covered in pumpkin soup tasting stuff with some whip cream and cranberries and sweet dumplings on the side. so we were sitting on the tram just talking amongst ourselves and there were two preteen girls behind up staring and giggling. and then out of no where the woman who was sitting on the other side of the isle gets up and spits in between us at our feet and then sits back down like 4 ft away. it was so shocking we just stopped talking and stared mouth agape at each other. that turned into confused and nervous laughter and then at the next stop we got off. i looked at her as we left and she stuck her foot out almost as if to kick me but her foot just sort of grazed my leg. the two girls who were sitting behind us flipped us the finger as the tram pulled away. we were shocked and confused and it was the only thing we could talk about for the whole rest of the day. it must of been some combination of us talking and laughing and being american which was not well received on that particular tram. but at least we still have our sense of humor.
