Hallelujah Krakow!!! My saviour :) I finally got some cash before leaving St Petersburg, and as much as I liked that place, I didn't feel too bad about seeing Russia disappear beneath the clouds from the air, hehe. The flight to Poland was fairly uneventful, ... Read more >

As soon as I walked into the crematorium I could literally smell death. It permeated my clothing and clung to my hair. Four hours later that smell still lingered. Auschwitz was located nearby the provincial Polish town of Oshwiecim in Galacia, where ... Read more >

Strange title, but that is apparently the translation that the movie Dirty Dancing recieved when it arrived in Poland. I've been here for a little over a week now, and so far it's pretty cool. To begin with it's a relief on the wallet, which is welcome ... Read more >

As some of you will know one thing I truely hate, something that has on several occasions nearly made me throw up, is spitting. Spitting does not seem to bother many Poles. In fact it seems to be a national sport. I didn't think anyone would ever ... Read more >
