Krakow

Well Poland has a different currency than the rest of Europe so when I arrived I found an ATM at the airport and then hailed a taxi!

The drive to the city was beautiful and reminded me of home, the winter touched ground and trees however, still no snow. Very disappointing.

The part of the city I'm in has a building across the way that looks like it has some old damage from WWII since it has patched holes and the building across from that also has some repairs. The buildings themselves for the most part appear dirty, but in the smokey kind, like fires and gun fires. It's almost as if the outer appearance never recovered after the war. The streets are also so old and used that they have permanent dents in them.

It was hard finding places to eat or buy food because they don't have a lot of outer signs on stores, and it's a wicked hard language to understand. I'll be living off supermarket food until I get back to Berlin probably, where the lanuage is more similar and the have a Dunkin' Donuts (yeah awesome right!).

I got to see the city center on the way back from my Auschwitz tour today, and it is very modern looking and looks much easier to find food than the outskirts where I am.

Also I lost power in my room, but thankfully not in the bathroom, so there's that! :)
