Observations/things about Poland.

* Supposedly people are rude, but i found them to often go out of their way to try to help/communicate.
* They over rely on the microwave
* They mix kebab meat with onions whether you like it or not
* They are often extremely catholic, though the young, and our hostel staff seem to be the exceptions
* Our hostel staff was hot, and funny, and helpful, and interesting
* They have a lot of hot dog and hamburger stands (microwaved)
* They sell cool things and things you need for cheap but everything else is hard to find or expensive. For example they sell some of the same cheap products they sell in india, at roughly the same price.
* The Polish police seem helpful
* They take holidays seriously...
* There is supposedly a "polish look" but i cant really figure it out, they all sort of look eastern european, but its supposed to be distinctively polish...
* the young people are stylish, the old dress very functional-proper and in one color pieces...
* im sure there are more, mostly i just wanted to say that they over use the microwave...

im leaving for Vienna getting there tomorrow morning at 5 AM and hoping to catch something bus or train to ljubljana which i still cant pronounce, but its the capital of slovenia.


Yesterday i walked to two major stores to find headphones neither of these stores had them. today i went to the bus station and found an abundance that might not work, but they were about 1.50 $ each so who cares, and also i found a shitty looking peace sign necklace for roughly the same price.
poland rocks
peace and love to everyone.
