Part of my excitement in going to Krakow was knowing that one of my favorite fashion bloggers is located there :D

A first trip to Krakow cannot be complete without a visit to the haunting Auschwitz concentration camp. But before our tour could start, we were all thoroughly drenched in rain. Hence, the colorful parkas below. I also ran into these three Dutch girls who were in my night train cabin the night before!
Not too many more photos at Auschwitz... I was too busy being depressed. But if you wish to hear more about what I saw/learned there, let me know and I'll be more than happy to tell you.
Side note: when I was at the Topography of Terror in Berlin a few weeks later, I also learned that Warsaw was heavily oppressed by Russia during the Cold War to the point that the entire city was almost eradicated. Poor Polish people; they just wanted to be a democracy.
Okay, on to happier things please.
I have a funny memory of waking up one day (after having gone to sleep around 2am with no one else in the room) and finding clothes scattered ALL OVER the floor. Ah, clear signs of really drunk guys coming back after an intense pub crawl and undressing in haste and apathy.

| If you can't already tell, I LOVE street art. |
Then I took one more night train from Krakow to Prague and met a Chinese man and his son in my cabin. The man turned out to be a Mechanical Engineering professor from China whose research focus was flame mitigation. How funny.
