So much to do!

Wow it has already been four days since i've arrived in Poland and i literally haven't had a moment's rest! So far everything has been amazing and i want to fill everyone in on what's been going on so far...

I arrived in Krakow wednesday afternoon and was picked up from the airport by my AIESEC buddy, Chris, my boss, Piotr, and co-worker, Kasia. My baggage was lost by the airline so Chris and i headed to the galleria to shop, and then met up with some of the other trainees at Kitch to go dancing.

So far I've met people from probably 15 different countries and my roommates are Elena (from Romania), Olenka (from Ukraine), and Anya (from Russia).

Kitch was a pretty interesting experience.... they said that it used to be a gay club, but it wasn't anymore, but i don't think that the word has gotten out yet. The average male in Kitch wears more makeup than i do :)

We left pretty early that night because i was exhausted and then next day i went in for my first day of work at Visit.pl. Piotr is possibly the coolest boss ever! i set my own hours and can even work at home if i want to! I put in about a half a days work on thursday and then i met up with Viktoria, my traineeship manager, in downtown Krakow to get my city transit card and tour around a little. That night i had my first polish dinner (which was delish) and then headed home after a short time at a posh nightclub called Ceil.

Friday was EXHAUSTING! I was on the way to meet Piotr for a meeting but i had a little problem with the buses and ended up on the opposite side of Krakow! Well i finally made it there and after my meeting i went to Tesco for the first time.Tesco is like a super wal-mart, but everything's in polish so it's super confusing... also you have to take the bus back to the apartment and walking with a bunch of groceries is a pretty funny sight!

Last night was really cool... every year Krakow has one night where all the museums in the city will stay open until 2am and they let everyone in for free! We went to about 6 museums and my feet were killing me by the end of the night. (my fave was probably the modern museum. they were showing this movie where these people chased down this guy, put an ET mask on him, and stripped him down and started chasing after him with golf clubs... seriously, i couldn't make this shit up!) Then we went to Kazimiersk (the old jewish part of the city) where i had my first Zapieneki, this polish sandwhich thing that's about a foot long and amazing!

We ended up staying out really late which was a bad idea because this morning i had to wake up early and meet my boss and agniezki (another co-worker) to head to Wroclaw, a city near krakow. Wroclaw is a beautiful old city that used to be owned by Germany, so it has a lot of influence architectually from there. We'll be here until tomorrow afternoon and then i'll be back in Krakow!

Sorry if this post was incredibly long and rambling... i'll try and keep them shorter in the future :)

random thought: if my life were a movie, my theme song as i walk through krakow would be "american woman"
