yesterday morning we got a slow start since we both had to ˝beautify˝ourselves for an afternoon at the thermal baths. breakfast was my amazing honey yogurt with bits of oat and then bread with my ham cream cheese. LOL. we also caught a glimpse of our new apartment-mates, these two girls about our age from presumably the UK. the first thing on the day's agenda was the West End Shopping Center, eastern europe's largest shopping mall. btw this keyboard is all switched around so pardon any horrendous spelling errors. kasia needed a bathing suite and i decided that i hated mine so we both HAD to buy new ones. i ended up getting the first one i saw at quicksilver but for whatever reason if you're a girl and looking for a non-whorish bathing suite, you're ... read more

yesterday was an early morning after a night from hell. first there was the drunk girl singing alanis morisette outside along with other drunks and their chatter...then was the tolling of some stupid bells...then was the 2:30 intrusion of more roommates who decided to make as much noise as possible and shine flashlights everywhere...last but not least was the freight train snoring that woke us up around 4:30...earplugs hardly helped... after having a breakfast of warm milk with corn flakes and tang, we showered and then headed back to bohemia bagel since kasia was still hungry. i wrote postcards and journaled. then it was off to albert's, the grocery store, since we had decided to be frugal. i bought dried fruit, nuts, some kind of cheese-bacon bread, and a bunch of chocolate. then it was off ... read more

Ok so I'm not really in Wroclaw anymore, but since I had two failed attempts at updating yesterday, we're gonna pretend i am.. so our last night in Warsaw we ended going to Galeria (club) along with Kasia's cousins. Kasia was quite the dancing queen if I do say so myself. Jarek and I left to check out Utopia, one of Warsaw's best clubs, while Kasia stayed and got her groove on. Once back (4:30am) we hit up some Kebabs....always delicious.... the next morning I went to meet up with Jarek at 2:00 and we headed to the train station so he could help me buy tickets. Well all the workers there were huge bitches and were of no help whatsoever, so we ended up going to an internet cafe to look up train times. The ... read more

Well here we are for the second day in Gdańsk and its quite a nice place. Reminds me slightly of Provincetown, but not really at all lol Yesterday morning we packed all of our stuff and headed to the trainstation around 11am. We managed to buy tickets for the 11:50 train which was a pretty sweet deal. We couldn't figure out what the ticket said and had no idea where our platform was but we managed to get on board before it left. Stepping into our compartent it smelled like kiełbasa, and there was a family of 4 (one of the ugliest i've seen in my life) getting ready to eat what looked like take-out kebabs. For the next almost five hours we put up with the obnoxious little brat of a daughter as well as ... read more

Phew...hopefully I don't collapse from the heat in this internet cafe before finishing this entry... Today's our last full day Krakow, but I'll get to that after a recap of the past few days...As a side note, my last entry was actually entered the day after I wrote it because the site was down. Tuesday we were up and ready at 8 for Marian, Kasia's pseudo-uncle to drive us to Czestochowa. Sleeping most of the way there, we got there in about two hours, and it was nothing like i expected. I suppose I thought it would be like a tiny church on a hill, but instead it was this massive complex of intricate chapels and a basilica in the middle of a good-sized town. Being perfectly honest, the interior of the chapels, etc. were more ... read more
