Blending in

When I'm traveling, I like to keep a low profile and not grab too much attention, other than to my hair. Well, I take some photos with my phone, too, but I try being quick with that.

I think I've blended pretty well here since there's been couple incidents that people have started speaking Polish with me. First was in the Old Town when someone was handing me some leaflet with stripper in it. "Do you want to have some fun?" I think he cleared after realizing I didn't understand. (No, I didn't go to "have some fun".)

Having now walked around the city for a bit, I like the Jewish district, Kazimierz. Old Town is cool and all with its massive churches, but that also means it's much more crowded, with a lot of tourists, of course; it's the main attraction here right in the center of the city. But it's not even that big, like in Riga or Tallinn, so there's not that much to explore outside the main square.

There are some tourists here in Kazamier too, of course, but it has a more organic feel. There's a lot of restaurants ranging from Polish to Jewish ones, many of them quite cheap with dishes starting from 3.5€ in price. Lots of cafes too (hint: @honeydue ;)).

^{Jewish Synagogue. They ask you for money to get in - I ain't paying though, cause making money with religion, not my cup of tea.}

Part of the blending in, I ordered myself a coffe in Polish. "Hej, jedna cappuccino." The cashier started talking back in Polish, of course, now I had to confess I had no clue what she said. "I'll bring the coffee to your table." "Ah, ok... how do you say 'thank you' in Polish?" "'Dziękuję' , or just 'dzięki'". I'll use the short version, standing for "thanks".

^{"Kawa", stands for "coffee".}

Unfortunately, @anomadsoul isn't blending as well with the Europians, since he made an update about being caught to an interrogation in Helsinki Airport in Finland. There's no real other rational for this other than his looks.

It's been 4 hours already since the update, and I'm anxiously waiting to hear from him, because I booked him a bed from the hostel where I'm staying, and his supposed flight should be here soon.

It would be a real bummer if some official asshole from my country is preventing him from coming here.

Fingers crossed that's not the case.
