not much time to write, but i will do my best. chicago is teeming with polish, but it is still extremely american. my polish friend aga had the same opinion, and the same experiences in dance clubs that cute girls all over the us have to suffer, i.e. being touched aggressively without first attempting conversation. this is how the young people do it now. ah, back in my day... visited lincoln park for super "pizza pot pie" with dave, and tried our luck at two clubs catering to polish clients. plenty of opportunity to practice polish, but the dance floor was too dark, too loud. cute waitresses though. in general chicago doesn't seduce at first glance the way san fran does, but the san fran seductiveness is only skin deep. i tried walking around in an essentially non-walking town. one does not walk through a dozen neighborhoods for fun. tried three times to eat bbq at chicago rib house, failed every time and finally ended up eating at ditka's! portions not nearly as large as expected. after much time, perhaps chicago could grow on me, but why not just go to poland?
krakow. i knew i was going home as i was looking around at the other passengers waiting at o'hare. a plethora of gorgeous young moms with kids. arrived at apartment early (10:30am) to be greeted by kate, my new flatmate, a very cute english girl. she was overjoyed that i had a guitar, and i knew we'd get along great. hmm, i have to finish this later...stay tuned...
