Its Snowing *-.

Well another holiday now, this time back in poland for the weekend and a few days.  It's freezing here about -5 to -7 everday and even colder every night. 

Just been going to bars mainly - keeping warm.  Went to Krakrow on saturday.  Looked around the castle and the catherdral and the royal tombs below the church.  Its a maze of tunnels under there. 

Sunday we went skiing and i unfortunatly hit a patch of ice and fell over and bruised myself badly, so i had to have help down the slope to the bar at the bottom where they gave me some beer to help with the pain.  lol! Then we went for pizza.  I must admit they do have the "best" pizza over here, they cook everything fresh, and its really worth the wait, its lovely. 

Met lots of people who remember me, its scary.  But the language barier is going ok, even in the local town bar, where my polish is improving day by day.

Its started to snow quite a bit now, so were heading into town now, see what there is to do and get something to eat.

Who're you out there with (or, why do people remember you)?

Staying with friends.  i'm not sure why people remember me, but i think the english accent in this town is so rare.  lol.

So they either find you irresistably hot because of the accent, or expect you at a moment's notice to down 15 pints of Stella and pick a fight with the nearest 30 unlucky individuals? ;)

Found another funny xmas song with Achmed the dead terrorist singing his favorite song.

Im not sure but i was called cute last night by lots of people.  Hmmm...Hehe, people are really friendly here.  As for the drinking, well, they expect me to down copius amounts of vodka in the shortest amount of time.  As well as drinking beer at the same time.  It's wierd over here we went to a restaurent called Bella Rosa where i had some lovely mulled wine, then they got me one of polands drinks for the cold weather, expecting a nice beer, what i got was nothing of the sort. 

I was given mulled beer, with fresh cinamon and herbs, and the beer was hot...  It was disgusting.  I tried to explain to the guy that if you serve a warm beer you'll get punched in england, and no one likes a warm beer.  Twat!

He didn't understand.

You're letting the side down.  You should have smacked him in the face, broken a chair over his head then shagged his sister ;)

Hehe :) I'll remember next time to do that.  ;)

The chairs were very big lol, they were like sofas.  hehe

Not sure what to say to his parents if they caught me shagging his sister.  lol, might have a slight communication problem.

Are you sure it's not just that you're getting drunker, so it *seems* that your Polish is getting better? :)
