Krakow – Busy Old Town Street

There were hundreds, if not thousands of people on the streets of the Old Town. This shouldn’t have surprised me. After all, the city does have a population of 750K+. I came to believe that all those tourists on the streets of the Old Town weren’t really tourists at all, they were just locals who didn’t want to go home and had nowhere else to go. Significance? Lifestyle. People who live in foreign countries have a different lifestyle than we do in American and I don’t think you can really get a good handle on that concept until you’ve spent some time there. Europeans, in particular, have a lifestyle I find enchanting. They walk more and have great public transportation systems. Their city centers are more conducive to an urban lifestyle that is more casual than the American lifestyle. I could go on and on. Would I want to live there? No, my family and closest friends are in America. But I do enjoy living overseas for short periods of time.
