Some random comments
Ren Faire: So last entry I complained about how I was going to be missing the Ren Faire this year? Well, wandering around the downtown I discovered a Polish Ren Faire. It seemed to be wrapping up when i got there but its cool to know that nerdy obsessions with medieval history transcend borders.
Comments on food: One of the Polish students showed us this super secret restaurant today. Seriously, you had to go though a shut unmarked door, down a hallway completely unrelated to food products, through a courtyard garden, down some stairs into a basement and there it was. If it wasn't so well hidden you would have sworn it was a touristy place. It was done it looking like Disney's take on a Bavarian hamlet....with a fish tank in the center. It made no sense but the food was amazing. Best part was as soon as people heard us speaking English we started getting looks like "how the f*** did you even find us and the lair of our secret society?"
And in contrast: The McKielbasa, America's gift to Poland.
