Laura's surprise

My name is Laura Sontag. I am 20 years old and I am from the west of Germany. I came to Cracow to do an internship for 4 weeks.

The Main Market Square

As I decided to do that internship in Poland, I was thinking about the country, the city and the people. I had never been to Poland before, so I was really excited about my trip. I've been to many cities all over the world, I've seen beautiful places, interesting countries and many different cultures, but I have to say that I am really impressed by Cracow and the Polish people.

The Krakow's Main Market Square is like the heart of the city. I've never seen before such a big market place - all around are cafés, restaurants and shops. There are always so many different people. In one of the first days I sat in a café and watched them.

The city is very alive. Honestly, I did not expect that before. The Polish people are very friendly and polite. They all try to help when you ask for example for the direction. I walked through the city center and the old town, everywhere are small streets, many lovely places and many nice cafés and restaurants. It was a great decision to come to Krakow. I hope to see much more of that beautiful city and I’m sure that I will have a great time here. I will write again about my stay in Krakow and I will describe as good as I can my next impressions and steps for You.
