rediscovering krakow

Back to posting again. Have kept incredibly busy recently, hopefully from now on I'm gonna be able to post daily. Had two amazing days last week, sightseeing in Krakow, with a friend from New York who came to see me. It's so incredible, how much more you see when you're showing the city to someone. Have a few pretty nice pictures. Starting off here with a shot of the cloisters of the Dominican Order monastery here in Krakow. Posted another shot from there a year ago I think, thats by far one of my favorite places in the city.

The temperature here in Krakow is finally back to normal (below freezing at night, warmer daytime.) Meanwhile, I'm trying to advocate for sustainable transportation in the City. There is a discussion these days in Krakow, whether to introduce a fee for driving into the city. I hope that we can learn from good examples other cities, such as London set. Here, London's Central Zone markings on Kensington High Street. Since its introduction in 2003, London's Congestion Charge has improved traffic safety, transit efficiency and resulted in decrease in pollution.

Now that the temperature hits zero Fahrenheit every night (!), the City has put those coal heaters, just like they used to almost thirty years ago, during the "state of war" introduced by the communist government to calm the political opposition. This winter has been particularly severe, especially for the homeless. Although one may oppose the heaters in terms of the impact on the environment, they work beautifully.
