Krakow

I just accidentally erased everything i wrote and now i don't have time to write it all out again so i am just going to have to sum it up now, sorry. You know i just want to mention how difficult i am finding it to write in english, i have to go back and correct so much and i find myself speaking like a pigeon or speaking the way people speak english that don't speak it very good, it's horrible, i've been gone too long where i speak like crap, either that or like a british person anyways, I caught a train this morning to krakow which is in the south of poland. I had a hard time buying the train ticket cause i can't speak polish (once again) so some girl saw me struggling and asked me if i needed help, i told her i wanted to catch the next train to krakow, but i wanted a cheap ticket, the cheapest if at all possible. So she explained everthing to the woman and i got a ticket leaving in the next 2 hours for krakow. While i was in the train station i saw an ad for Paulo Coehlo's new book called "The Zahir" I read his book last year called "The Alchemist" It was the first and only novel i have ever read, the only books i have ever read are history books (besides hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, Basil goes to Mexico, which is a fantastic book by the way about a mouse detective that goes to mexico to crack the crime on who stole the mousa lisa, a must read! and most Beverly Cleary books) So anyway The Alchemist is by far the best thing i have ever read and i personally consider it my bible, if anyone wants to ever try to understand me, read this book, it's like about me, it's amazing, i read it in 4 hours, i couldn't put it down, i felt this book was written just for me. anyways so i bought his latest book thinking it's got to be good. i've already read half of it on the train and it's great. anyways after reading the book and contemplating life which i love to do in my free time on my 4 1/2 hour train ride, i arrived in krakow. I tried to find my hostal which was nowhere nears the train station, i checked in and dropped off my stuff. i'm getting tired of this room sharing thing, cause nearly everywhere i go it's a bunch of kids like in college partying and talking bullshit, it's getting annoying, i feel like an old lady around them, but it's a cheap place to stay even though i have to share with like 7 frat guys drinking beer. anyways i freshened up after walking into a naked man prancing around in the bathroom (very interesting) i swear man i need to get my own room one of these days on my trip cause i am just getting annoyed now, and am i the only girl travelling out here? So i set off to walk around the city, i grab a bite to eat and walk around. It's absolutely fantastic and beautiful, i have 4 nights booked here so i have plenty of time to walk around and take pictures. While i was walking some guy, like a young guy started speaking to me in some language i didn't understand, he had a box under his arm like he was trying to sell soemthing, i said (no entiendo, no entiendo) i always play the part i don't speak english that i speak spanish cause the possiblities of that person speaking spanish are very very slim compared to speaking english. well he busts out this little book that has whatever he wants to say translated in all kinds of languages. He told me in spanish that he is from the ukraine and is selling ukranian arts and crafts items to raise money for college, ( i swear i have a face of a sucker) i asked him what he was studying and he told me he was studying geology. well i took a look at his stuff and it was all wooden made crafty things. i saw one of those russian dolls where you keep opening them up and more poeople are inside and he sad "no, those are NOT russian dolls, they are ukranian, look open, you have first father, then mother, then son, then cat, then the family CHICKEN! i was like oh yeah, i've got to get me one of these!!!!!!! they have the family cat and chicken, this is the bomb, how much you want? he said "30 Zlotys " i was like oh mannnnnnnnnnnn i can't i really don't have any money either and i don't know how the hell i'm going to finish college, so i bought a braclet. I asked him his name, he told me his name was Yura, i told him my brother middle name was similiar, it was Yuri, he said there was a russian version of that name and Ukranian. anyways after he left i felt bad cause i really wanted the ukranian doll family thing with the chicken, so i turned around like 5 minutes later contemplating whether i should get it or not. i walked back hoping to find him and did, i saw him and i'm like hi, it's me the girl that wanted to ukranian doll family. I told him i wanted the doll family, so i gave back the bracelet and gave him 20 zlotys. he was amazed and laughing at the same time. i was like what are you laughing at, he's like "you're funny, you came back to buy the doll family" i'm like "yeah" he told me i was super and that i hopefully we would see each other tomm. i was very happy with my doll family thing and the money went to a good cause. i haven't bought anything on this trip anyways cause i have to carry everything on my back and i can't carry anymore. Well now i have my ukranian fimly doll in my purse and now i am here writing this cause it started to rain. i have 10 minutes left on the computer so i gotta go, bye!
