It's just a little different over here!

Even after 2 years in Poland, there are times when we are just struck by how different things are over here! This week Kevin and I went to our corner grocery store to pick up some snacks for our trip to Torun. It's the kind of store where everything is behind the counter and you have to ask for what you want. I got my pretzels and juice, and Kevin want a Coke so he asked for one and the woman said, "just a minute" She came out from behind the counter, walked over to the Coke machine, plugged it in and unlocked it to get him a Coke. It seems that the Coke machine was is mostly for storing the Cokes, not cooling them! Then the next day when we were in Torun, we were all really excited because there was a Mexican restaurant there. When we were ordering, Sean asked the waitress what she recommended...She recommended the chicken filet, the pierogi, and the glamki (stuffed cabbage rolls). We should have been nervous since she didn't recommend any ACTUAL Mexican food, but we pressed on. I ordered a Chimichanga and when it came to the table, it looked pretty good. However, it was a tortilla covered in marinara sauce, and was filled with some sort of Manwhich meat and chopped pickles. INTERESTING! It's always an adventure in another country!
