I am in Poland. With my travel mate Kjetil, Krakow is hereby becoming a familiar city. Its center is far from the largest I have seen, but the Old Town surrounding the main market square has a lot of charm. We arrived this morning and have spent the day in the city. Tomorrow we will hit the salt mines and Sunday will be devoted to explore the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau. Then we move to Warsaw where we will finish the remaining monday and tuesday before returning to Norway.
We enjoy ourselves down here and have a lot of fun together.
A few Polish observations/impressions:
* The country is slighty more modern/like the West than anticipated: the cars are modern and the way of dressing too.
* Pollution and overcast enhanced the impression of Polish (urban) landscape being less colorful than home.
* Many of the boys have army cut hair style or lone of the 80s.
* English skills are decent.
* There are very few non-whites around. If it has to do with immigration policy, country economy, racial attitudes or something else.
