Krakow

Krakow
June 16, 2010
We stayed in Krakow for one night. I got to do my laundry at this cute place by the hotel. The fabric softener smells so good. Too bad it’s a polish brand I can’t remember the name of it nor pronounce it, nor bring back to the US. I seriously don’t understand how I go through so many clothes. I thought I was doing so well with not changing my clothes twice a day…
Anyway, in search of a skate shop, we walked about 2Km to this mall in the middle of Krakow. I felt like I was in the Midwest. No, I didn’t buy anything there either. Seemed a little too unauthentic. I wouldn’t really be supporting a local shop or anything. Plus, they didn’t have shoes I was in love with. If you know me, you know shoes are a VERY big deal. I LOVE shoes. So, picking them out can be sooo hard sometimes. After looking around, we made it to the food court. I got a salad and some pasta, which seemed to be the least damaging to my body. I glanced over to my left and someone was eating KFC. To my right, Subway. Oh, and all the music that was playing was top 20 US songs, in English. Kind of a surreal experience. The walk back to the hotel was definitely not like being in the Midwest though. It’s like I walked into America and then back out into Poland. Malls… ugh.
