Something that fascinated me about the
city was the town square how popular it was. I loved wandering around it and
seeing all the tourists and locals. Another thing that fascinated me about it
was that I was comfortable and not scared wandering alone. Not many of the
places could I actually wander alone and feel comfortable. I loved it! They had
the big market center with all the little souvenir shops; it was so nice just
relaxing and shopping there.
My favorite academic experience would be
Auschwitz, I cannot even explain how I felt that day during and after the
guided tour. It was such an eye opening experience and I am glad I got the chance
to visit it and learn even more about what actually happened at the
concentration camps. Everyone handles things like this differently but for me I
cried, I cried almost the whole time. I seriously could not imagine going
through something like that or knowing someone who had to go through something
like that. It is hard to put in words my feelings of this experience but it
just made me realize how thankful and blessed I am for having this life.
My favorite extra-curricular activity
would be shopping at market center! I bought quite a bit of souvenirs. I
remember when the students from last year came and gave us advice they all said,
“Make sure you save a lot for Krakow, it’s really cheap with good gifts!” Well
I’m glad I listened because I found so many good gifts for myself, family and
friends. So I recommend for future
students to save until Krakow too!
I recommend eating at Coffee Heaven!
This is another cute little café with good drinks and snacks. Also, there’s
wifi! Our hostel at Krakow did not have wifi and since it was so close to
coming home we had to contact the people picking us up from the airport and
check to see if any changes happened with our flights. So we wanted a cute
place with wifi and Coffee Heaven is good and cheap!
