Just returned from my weekend in Krakow. Too tired and annoyed at this present time to write anything constructive or enlightening, but after having one's return flight cancelled at the last possible moment on Monday, i want to rain down fire and colon-ruptering sodomy on EasyJet and Krakow Airport. It was lucky Ed and I took the(fucking expensive) emergency SkyEurope plane to Manchester, as Tuesday's EasyJet was also cancelled due to the 'weather'.
Just a few random sentances about the weekend:
- Krakow is cold at this time of year. Never have my hat and scarf been so erotically intertwined
- Saw Europe's biggest alterpiece in one of the churches. About 15 meteres tall and totally badass.
- Found one bar which showed Bravo-style soft porn on giant screens. Needless to say we stayed there for quite a while.
- Auschwitz is a very harrowing place.
- If a local starts jabbering away in Polish, shrugging one's shoulders, looking apologetic and stating 'Sorry. English', is enough for them to throw you a gentle laugh and a look of quiet pity. Using this technique ensured we didnt have to pay tax on the last night of our hostel stay. Score!
- In a slight rebuttal to the teachings of Jesus, i found that man CAN live on bread alone.
- I want a 17th century flintlock-activated Grenade launcher for my birthday. The price of the Museum ticket was worth it for this treasure alone.
-Zweic is an awesome beer. Efforts should be made to import its malty goodness yonder to this isle.
