I’m going to tell you
about my living in Wroclaw… in one week will complete two month
I’ve been here. My first expression was- oh my god what a calm and
beautiful city! After Tbilisi-my hometown it seems really quite,
calm, you feel secure in the streets. In Georgia people don’t
follow the street rules, they cross the red. Here everything is OK
with that cars street rules are more obeyed by people than in other
countries… like it\s in Wroclaw I feel really secure here. Maybe
the reason is that it\s not capital city and there are not so many
different people from different countries and culture and second
reason is that here is perfectly developed the biking system so the
amount of the cars is really small. Here cars move slowly people,
don’t rush in the streets every building is dyed in faded pastel
colors and this fits so much to the character of the city, even
people in the streets wear clothes so simple style with pastel
colors. As I mentioned they don’t like vulgar or hipster outfit…
the style is standard but with good taste. A little shock was for me
that couples love walking in the streets with holding their hands and
this become for me a symbol of this city. I’ve never seen sooo many
couples with holding hands in other countries, they look so romantic
at that time…
Despite of everything is
so calm and quite on weekends I saw that sometimes they can get mad
and waste their energy. First two weeks I worked hard but finally
came that weekend when I could go out. When I neared The market
square- the center of the city I felt the noise the action and when I
entered the place I saw whole city concentrated between the buildings
of market square everyone was drunk hugging kissing each other
laughing out loud the music was on everywhere every pub and bar was
overcrowded people had fan. I wasn’t surprised that beer is the
main thing for the event. But it was funny for me when I saw the big
containers on the table with a tap, men were pouring beer by
themselves from it and drinking so they didn’t wasted their
precious time for ordering new glasses and bother a waiter. In
market square is always positive aura that pleasure is have fun there
or just walking under the sun. If you love beer, pubs, esthetic and
beautiful places, river, bridges and colors this city is for you.
Besides that city has very
good location for traveling. It is very close to Berlin, Prague,
Vienna even you can visit Budapest. For example time you need from
Wroclaw to Berlin is 3:30 hours by bus or car. I mostly used
blablacar. You can be registered on that website: blablacar.com and
find a driver who has the same direction as you, see the price what
he is offering (in most cases it’s cheaper than a bus or a train),
also read the references from other passengers who have already
traveled with them to get sure that its safe, pack your backpack and
get ready for your trip. From Wroclaw I visited Berlin, Prague and
Vienna. In some of them I tried couchsurfing. This one is a website
for surfers and hosts, there you can find each other and offer your
flat for free or find hot and ask to get you in there flat. In that
case you can check its safety with the references. Except the fact
that it’s free I like it more than hotel because I met some good
people with that type of traveling so I advise you the same if you
are not a huge fan of comfort.
Wroclaw is a lovely,
beautiful city with very good location so if you have a chance to
live here don’t think a lot, it’s really worth!
