Ok, more info

Now that my belly is full I can give you more info about what I'm up to in the heart of Poland. I'm starting a three-week intensive polish language and culture course (http://www.uj.edu.pl/SL/en/) at the Jagiellonian University (www.uj.edu.pl). I'm staying at the PIAST student house, which is student residence in the west of town. My room is really cozy, I share a bathroom with only one other person, I have internet and a phone in my room and the cafeteria is more like a banquet hall, with waitstaff and polish ladies that henpeck them. The meal situation is very communist-esk with food stamps for every meal. My timetable is essentially language classes in the morning and optional cultural classes in the afternoon with movies (subtitled) in the evening. Since classes only start on Monday I'll be sightseeing this weekend with the group: on Saturday we're going to the Zakopane mountains and Sunday we'll be taking a guided tour of Krakow and Wawel castle. I'll keep you POSTed...
