Wroclaw, Poland

The best part about my Army trip was that I had to stay an extra night in Wroclaw (pronounced: V-roch-waf) by myself. They took so long making the orders for me to go, that the flight booked up and I had to stay. No problem for me! Wroclaw used to tbe the German city of Breslau. But after the war the Polish kind of took it. Poish history is very stranged, But basically, it boils down to them being ruled by various people over the last 3,000 or so years. This is the first time they've really been in charge of themselves! Anyways, Wroclaw is a hidden gem. Poland is know mainly for Krakow (I'm going there for New Year's) and Warsaw. But this city is just as beautiful, just not as well known. There are 130,000 students here too, so there are plenty of bars all in a central area.




My new friend Max and the Polish people of Wroclaw

Well, I decided to go out on the town for my only night in Wroclaw. I soon realized I had a lot to choose from. So I first did what any other wandering tourist would do. I went to the Irish Pub. I had a few beers then asked some one where a good place to go would be. They pointed me to a group of bars down the street. I found a random bar and was walking around and heard ENGLISH. So I stopped the guy. Turns out it was another American living in Wroclaw. He proceeded to take me under his wing and showed me around to just about every bar in Wroclaw.




The river, don't know the name



This city is very nice and I'm glad I was able to see it for a bit. One very strange thing though. I went to Pizza Hut to get a quick bite to eat and they put KETCHUP on their pizza!!
