Life / Appreciate any remarks on life in Kraków [41]

Just back from Krakow and just don't know what to make of it?

It seems a nice place in terms of buildings and looks very nice. Very clean, good kebabs, great shopping malls, good looking chicks and it seems quite a safe place.

But it also seems the place has some real serious issues.
For a start they need to learn to smile. life is too short to always walk about like the world is going to end tomorrow.

Manners cost nothing. Be nice to someone and they'll be nice to you. Its been a big culture shock and a big wake up call.

I work with expat poles and they seem to have got with the EU/NATO/WTO program.

Work hard, play hard, Be happy :)

This is the second time i've been to eastern europe, my first being Prague. The Czechs seemed more friendly.

Krakow needs to become more cosmopolitan.

But on the plus side it has potential

hey misty come our tourist areas on a Saturday. You'll know what im on about. If you don't smile when you dance there is something wrong.

yes, some poles did but not many.

Even using Cześć and Dziękuję had no reponse.

I just don't quite get what the problem is?

Less people will visit and spend there hard earned cash and helping the polish economy if you keep up the negative vibe your sending to tourists.
