Trip to Poland

“My first shock was the Old Town, having never seen anything like that as a Californian, and just sitting there in the square admiring how old it was compared to anything I've seen back home. The fighting goats were amazing, the fact that there's a castle in the middle of the city, how weird your language is when I'm trying to read it, everything was a mindfuck.”

“I'd go into smaller restaurants or shops and would notice the staff seeming a little stiff or unsure of how to address me, but after I'd talk in my horrible butchered Polish and my American English they'd always seem to lighten up and chuckle a bit. I had a lot of those interactions which only lasted a couple seconds or a minute or so, but I still remember them fondly.”
