Welcome to Poland

Well, I have officially arrived in Poland.  The flight went very well, and I had no travelling complications along the way, besides being on a flight full of Justin Bieber fans.  A few of them saw the canadian flag on my back pack, and asked me if I had met them.  I later found out that he was performing on Oslo, so this all makes sense now.

Anyways, after my arrival in Krakow, I definitely realized I was not in Norway anymore.  I asked a couple people inside on how to get to the train station, and they did not understand me.  I finally went outside and asked around until 3 girls from Holland were there, and they helped me out! I talked with them for a bit, and they were super nice, and even offered to show me around in Holland! I then hopped on the bus and headed for the heart of the city.  

I found my hostel without much difficulty.  I must of just had some bad luck with people who couldn't speak english at the airport, because once I went to the shopping mall it was super easy to get help.  I settled into my hostel, but was very tired.  I decided that for the remainder of the day I would just wonder around Krakow, and take in some of the sights.   It is a such a beautiful city! I had no idea or expectations of what Krakow was like prior to coming, but it has made quite the impression on me so far.  It is also very nice and convenient that it very cheap, so things are quite affordable.  Here are some pictures I took while wondering around.
Getting ready for EuroCup!


Hallo Old European street
