I think I'm addicted to Krakow.

I just typed a long post then the damn computer restarted. damn it. as a result my spelling will not be corrected and i am not going to capitalise. i hate to punish you but i am too frustrated. it is pissing down here in krakow, a perfect change to the sublime weather up until now. i saw perfect without a hint of sarcasm because it is a welcome change and clears out the air a bit. however i know i will not think it perfect in the near future when i realise that the sun we've been having could be the last great whether now that europe heads into winter. but either way there isnt really much i can do about the weather.

This city is wonderful however and it isnt just the monuments or something, it is the whole city. it just has a nice vibe about it, not too big or small, and an excellent layout which is condusive to a nice city. the old town used to be surrounded by heavy fortifications including a moat, but as these became obsolete the area was turned into a great garden and park which surrounds the city. So no matter which way you walk, if you walk for 10 minutes you will hit this park. In addition to this, the old city was relatively unscathed by the secnd world war, so the buildings and the main town square (one of the biggest in Europe) are all
