Krakow

The airports opened the morning of our flight to Poland, most people in out group had already made other plans and could no longer attend. So with about 15 of us remaining we set off.

We stayed right in the market square in Krakow at Mama's hostel, which was super cheap and really nice. I woke up every morning at 8am and went for sweets and irish coffee while i waited for everyone else to get up from partying the night before. We all ate the greatest food (meat meat meat) and drank a ton because everything was soo cheap. we couldnt pronounce the currency so we referred to it as salamies ( a close pronunciation), basically we spent 1 dollar per drink in bars, some bars had deals for 50 cent shots (this caused us to be out drinking until 8am one night). one afternoon I went out with Allard (classmate) and we had a steak dinner, flaming sambucca, a polish long ice tea (just make all the alcohol woda and double the quantity), apple pie, 2 beers, whiskey and some mix drinks for 12 bucks each !! so you get the idea, very cheap.

The only downside to the trip was everyone sleeping in, didnt matter when the party ended, the latest i slept in was 930 because someone had purposely turned off my alarm to make me be quite in the morning :p
We managed to get out to Auschwitz for a day, its about a 2 hour train from Krakow, I dont think any of us were quite the same for a couple days after that; its a good thing drinks were cheap, we needed them.

anyways lots of site seeing, food, meeting random people, partying until the sun comes up and soaking up some interesting culture (and lbs :P) I've starting posting some pics on flickr, the link is below
