I didn’t get a great sleep lastnight, not because I was playing the new Grand Theft Auto which was released at midnight lastnight but because someone was playing it online all night and talking rather loudly into his head set until 5am in the morning. I’m sure I will be getting quite overfamiliar with the game over the next few weeks, whether I like it or not.
Another casualty of the midnight release of Grand Theft Auto:
…sort of. I can’t believe how different she looks without make up. Although, she has actually still got some eye make up on in the ‘without make up’ pic.
I went to Krakow with my pals for the weekend and my verdict is, it’s a very pleasant place to visit. Even though it’s getting popular with tourists now (8 million people a year visit) it doesn’t feel like it. It has a very uncommercial feel to it. There are TONS of lovely bars and cafes everywhere that are full of character, the more ‘modern’ bars and restaurants are on the square but even they have lots of character to them. A lot of the pubs in the city are a bit hidden and difficult to spot, you just have to look for the beer signs on the buildings outside.
If you want a rowdy pub crawl holiday, I wouldn’t go to Krakow as it’s much more low-key than that – although it’s probably a lot busier in the height of summer, it just doesn’t strike me as a rowdy pub crawl kind of place. The people were generally polite although seemed a little reserved and the vodka and beer is great. Here we are sampling some cherry vodka:
Here’s a picture of Krakow Square:

At 22:42 tonight, 85 people had read my blog so far today, this is quite a lot more people that you would normally communicate with in 1 day but I only spoke to 7 people face to face today, these were:
- Brian
- The receptionist at the Doctors surgery
- The nurse at the Doctors surgery
- The taxi driver who took us to the restaurant
- 2 waiters in the restaurant
- The taxi driver who took us home from restaurant
I can’t work out if I’m popular or… not.
I was just ready to go to Boots to collect my prescription and it started chucking it down so I thought I would make a new header graphic for my blog instead. The header you can see now is me floating down the Bangkok river on a longboat, checking out the shanty towns.
