my lovely new roommates trying to open a bottle of zubrowka (polish bison grass vodka). this is before the police came and fined us 200 zloty for listening to music, dancing, chatting, and generally disturbing the peace (thank you very much). a picture may be worth 1,000 words, but i have 1,000,000 on my mind and feel not unlike poor master shandy fruitlessly trying to write the story of his life, getting a day older each day, and writing less than a day's worth of chronology.
everyone will no doubt want to know about the polish women, famous for having "the most vitamins." a dozen times daily, i see a different girl whose striking beauty is enough to make my brain melt. and they can all carry out a conversation too! if anyone has a modicum curiosity about what it looks like to be inside my brain, come to krakow, walk around on the streets, and appreciate all that there is to see.
and eat some pierogi too! my favorite place is within walking distance of home and the language school, and is called "swiat pierogow" ("world of pierogi")! i plan to try every single one of their two dozen or so varieties of pierogi. so far i have tried six.
and now it is homework time.
