Hey, everybody, I got a nice note from LaVontay Fenderson the other day. He’s over in Europe — the Czech Republic to be more specific — playing for BK Decin. Here’s what he had to say:
Hi RB! Sorry it took so long to write. I have been really busy with basketball and learning the city of Decin. I am playing in the top league over here. I was pretty nervous when I first got here because I couldn’t really speak to anyone. Also, the airline lost my suitcase. So, it was a hard first week because a lot of things that you don’t want to happen to you traveling for the first time away from home were happening to me. Now I’m fine, I have some cool teammates. People in the city are helpful and actually try to understand what I am saying. Decin is a pretty nice, the food is very good – especially the pasta dishes with chicken. Some things are different - I don’t think they have driers, because in my apartment they don’t have one and in the stores the don’t have them, either. So, what you have to do is put your clothes on a rack and let them air dry. Also the outlets and plugs are different ... forgot about that before I left. The money wasn’t too hard to understand, some of our big bills are coins that look like quarters. The town is very high on basketball, they are really crazy about it. No matter where I go the people want autographs or want to talk to me or try to give me a high five. All in all it’s a nice place and I’m adapting to it.
