Krakow-Finale

Krakow, is so beautiful Krakow, her people, are so nice and friendly Krakow, is a great gem Krakow, I would love to be back again.

There are many old cities, historical cities around, and this one, Krakow is one to the nicest I have ever been too. Life here is simpler (in my opinion) and they are still not charging so high price and quality of life is good. You don't see people crazy so much about holding Iphone 4, 5. You don't see people crazy about which camera model they are holding. You don't see people waiting their good. You see that they welcome you. You see that you are in general able to enjoy some restaurant food. You will see that they sell a lot of books every where. You see that they love gardening, in fact I think their gardening comes from their hard, a simple house looks great when they plant some flowers and a few pots surrounding their houses. That to me is beauty.

And Polish are ever so ready to offer assistance not unless they have problems speaking English themselves and I don't feel that they use the kind of 'eyes' to see you, like u r some kind of Alien or do you have that status to enjoy something..! No, everything is great. The hotel Sumadi helped me to book was great, initially, it was Cracow old town guest house, and they are managed by hotel Elektra, and by chance of luck or what ever positive vibration you called that, they offered me a hotel suite, it is really a suite and I can believe that when I check-in my room, haha. Pics are here. And all came to around Euro 91 for two nites, including breakfast and wireless internet which is superb.

And the exchange rate they gave in Krakow is so reasonable, from the low of 4.03 to the high of 4.1. In Warsaw, the best I got was at 4 to one Euro at Warsaw central station, and worse was at the airport, I think it was around 3.3 (but I hv no choice as I need to buy ticket to go to the airport during that time). And I go some nicest porcelain, not cheap, but I would say reasonable and I love them a lot:), pics here. Hope I can use them in my next week meal preparation.

Oh yes, meeting Yuki-San is also making this trip more fun, as we go to outside, exploring the city and the camp together, though we don't talk much as he is talking less in English and use some Japanese. But it is fun.

And this morning before taking the train to Warsaw, we went to the market, the pictures are here. Again, I think the market is clean and beautiful.

Now that I am on the way back to Warsaw, seeing the tree leaves changing color, again the view is superb and fantastic. And tonite and tomorrow (1/2 day), my final exploration with Warsaw. So far, I am satisfied and I am happy with this trip. And I am contented, and my special thanks to Sumadi, and the other three gentleman I met, Janek and Yuki-San and Gary Thanks for making my trip meaningful in Southern France and Poland.

Terima Kasih.
