Yay for Po Polsku!

One of Kim's friends was in town for a few days to visit and she wanted to check out Krakow for a day. Kim had to work, so she just went on the train by herself. Kim's place of work has an in-house travel agency that we always use when we travel somewhere, but these were last minute plans and we had to take care of them ourselves. So we went to the train station to get her ticket, hoping that the cashier would speak english. Nope. But I guess all those Polish classes I've been taking are actually paying off, because I was able to tell her how many tickets, to and from where, what time, and what class of traincar. And I could understand her when she said there weren't any tickets left for the time we wanted, so we picked another time. So our friend got to and fro, no problems whatsoever. 

I know it doesn't sound like much, but considering what a pain in the ass this language is, I was quite proud of myself. Now I just gotta figure out where and how to buy tickets to the Chimaira concert...
