M: I can't believe we're finally in Warsaw!
K: My Polish friend from college said we'll fall in love with this city.
M: Well, that remains to be seen, but so far it looks like a charming place.
K: Did you know the city was rebuilt from scratch after World War ll?
M: How did they remember what everything looked like? It sounds like an impossible task.
K: The architectural plans were hidden from the enemy and were used to rebuild the city identically to its previous state.
M: You know what I noticed about Krakow? People aren't that friendly.
K: I read that they don't really engage in small talk if they don't know you.
M: So you're saying they just like to get down to business?/ K: That doesn't mean they aren't friendly, it's just a different way to be.
M: Guess when you live in a big city, you don't have as much time to chat with strangers.
K: Right, So try not to judge them based on culture.
M: Wow! It's so nice to be in the Tatra mountains after a week in the big cities.
K: Yeah, Zakopane is a far cry from all the steel and concrete of Warsaw and Krokow.
M: It's going to be even nice when we're on top of that mountain looking down at this town.
K: With that in mind, I need to find a store to buy some new shoelaces.
M: I saw a cute mom-and-pop shop on the corner that sells shoes./ K: Great! Let's get some Polish Dumplings afterwards!
K: Gdansk is such a beautiful Port. I never thought the Baltic Sea could be so warm and sunny.
M: It's so nice to go from the mountains to the sea./ K: I'm just glad we didn't try to cram in too much on this trip.
M: Yeah, it was nice to get a feel for each city instead of spending all our precious time on trains and buses.
K: On the one hand, it is great to visit more places./ M: But, on the other hand, you don't really get the full experience of the place.
