Krakow + Pics 50 Faces project Berlin and Tachelles Berlin

Hy,

we are in Krakow, and we just have so much luck! We left Wroclaw by train. It wasn't easy buying a ticket, the people kept talking in Polish while we kept on asking for English while there was a long cue behind us. So I Send Saartje to Find someone young who could help us, and so it worked out. Luckily we just ate good Chinese food for 5 euro together with cola, because the train ride was almost five hours!! The ride was ok, except for the door which kept on falling open and closing with big slams. Poland seems to be very poor. The condition of the houses is very bad, bud the feelds are very beautiful, full of flowers. Also the rivers are impressive, not walled, but just as they are, with lot of flood area.
But generally the human side gives a sad impression.

Before we left Wroclaw, we mailed a lot of people in Krakow to as if we could stay over. Only one answered in time, but he lived 30 min from the city, so we had to take another train. Once in the station we had to hurry to catch it, but we had to buy another ticket, but didn't found it, so we asked it at some English speaking young fellows. At that point I was suddenly so frank to ask if they hadn't a place where we could sleep, and they said 'yes'!!!!

So now I am writing on Ania's and Krystians laptop to you! They showed us around in the city, treated us on food and vodka in a nice bar.
They are so nice, and very good English speaking. And unbelievable hospitable!

This trip was untill now great, off course not always gloomy. Like in the Deserted hospital at night before we found oure sleeping place, we were a bit scared. And the grey atmosphere in Poland gives me an empty feeling and a disconsolate feeling.
But Ania and Krystian changed this now.

Good night
