Not gonna lie, Poland was kinda creepy. It didn’t hit me until the second day that we were actually in the same Poland that we’ve been learning about in class. Since France, we’ve constantly been in former Nazi controlled land, but it was a different feeling in Poland. It probably had to do with the fact that we went to Auschwitz. Day one in Poland we went on a walking tour of the castle and old town. The city is cool, but our tour was so boring. Gabriel didn’t lead this one (hence me not being interested). Instead it was lead a tiny grandma in purple. She was funny, but I honestly could’t care less about Krakow Castle and its ‘dragon’. We did climb the clock tower and touch the bell (apparently it’s good luck) so that was kinda cool.
Krakow’s real life is in it’s club scene. Something like one third of the city population is made up of university students. This weekend was their first week back before the semester starts on Monday. There was a constant flood of music coming out of the underground cellars that all the clubs are in to escape the cold. On the last night in Poland, Gabriel took us out to two of his favorite spots. The first was a very local Polish pub, and the second was a crazy dance club. I’ll end with this: Europe Semester girls can dance.
