Travel / Regular UK visitor to Krakow - How to meet people and make friends? [56]

well if the questions were 'what is your name?' and 'can you count to 10 really slowly, pronouncing each number really badly?' then given enough thinking time, i think i could pull an answer out of the bag...anything more complex than that would probably leave me somewhat dazed....

well if an american asked you to explain cricket to her, then yes, that would be you, and that would be my friend! all the explaining in the world wouldn't make an american catch on to that one! and the students again were probably friends of mine from a polish course i was on, they'd all just arrived for erazmus etc....we're clearly all fluent in polish now so would expect the quiz to be solely in polish HAHA

ahhh i was suppose to be there last tuesday but my lack of general knowledge resulted my non-attendance! my friends said the place was rammed with brits and aussies and was quite bizzare! sounds like quite the experience though so will be paying 'ireland in krakow' a visit in the very near future!

i've moved out here to teach english. it's pretty cool so far. how long you over in krakow for? as a brit i know i'm not as exciting as a local but i am a fan of the cafes/bars/pubs so have minor knowledge in getting off the beaten track!

as a fellow brit who's only been in krakow for just over a month, the weather ain't too terrible...but i'm assured the bad weather's on it's way! it's been a bit nippy the past couple of days and is apparently set to get worse. i don't find it too bad during the day but early mornings and evenings man, it's bitter! so i recommend packing as much into your little suitcase as possible!
