Krakow by Night

I took a trip to Krakow last weekend to visit my cousin and to enjoy some of the student nightlife (nightlife that is much harder for me to find here in Warsaw where my coworkers are twice my age). Here's a photo of me attacking my cousin Victoria with my Canadian charm. Yes there IS a sticker on my butt. Here's another appealing shot of us with her roommate Krysia (Krysta?) taking care of her personal hygiene which I know she would absolutley LOVE to see published online. Hey, its what I'm here for

I was pleasantly reminded why I had such a good time in Krakow at the start of the trip, months ago: the place is beautiful. After taking the 3hour train immediatly after work on friday night (which was full so I had to stand..woohoo) I walked through the town and through the square to get to my cousin's apartment. These pictures don't do the city justice, but Krakow was made up like a Christmas postcard. There were lights around every corner in streets that led to the town square, as you can see in the photo on the left. All around you could also see trees and wreaths on most doors, and musicians 'wailing' on accordians and guitars in the streets. Really nice

To top it all off, the main square was turned into an outdoor restaurant/ bbq/ fleamarket/ happyfuntimeplace (photo on the right) that was open all day and most of the night. When I walked through in the evening, there were people sitting around, laughing and talking while drinking warm wine and eating lamb straight off the grill. Later on, when I was taking my train home on Sunday around noon, I stumbled around looking to buy myself something nice, while eating shishkebabs. It just seemed like a really cozy place to be. In some ways I found myself comparing Krakow to Montreal back home and I shed a few tears and a got a little nostalgic before grunting like a man and convincing myself that feelings are for girls

Maybe I should move to Krakow
