Krakow, Poland, "Central", Europe
There were no signs of the soviet winter in Krakow, Poland last weekend, the main square was filled with teenagers showcasing their new spins for the Melbourne Shuffle, children were chasing costco-sized bubbles and the rest were succumb to the hustle and bustle of Europe's largest outdoor square.
This weekend, I decided to infiltrate our rival school's exchange program to see how they operate on the other side of the Danube.
Our first stop was Wieliczka Salt Mine, the world's largest operating salt mine... I think the word "mine" is an understatement, when you have 3 churches followed by a mini shopping center, a full service restaurant, concert hall, cafeteria and flush toilets in the 1% that I saw... "mine" eh... A must see for salt enthusiasts and cave dwellers alike.
The second stop was Europe's playground, Krakow - when you slay a dragon and found a city all in the same week, a legend.... wait for it, - DARY!! oasis is bound to unfold. tasty people, friendly pastries, and a lively nightlife make this a popular weekend destination.
A major highlight of the trip was our afternoon in the square where I got personal lessons on "Jumpstyle" and our many demonstrations of the "Melbourne Shuffle" from the local experts. Basically both of these methods involve copious amounts of jumping around in a hypnotically synchronized way - basically pure awesomeness. Our friends also made a video for us with the basic steps - we said we are going to start the Jumpstyle Club in Budapest... Heroes Square?!
On our final day we had a change of pace - Auschwitz.
