So I've got a ticket to go see the Rammstein concert in Chorzów in July, and as this will be my first time in Poland I wanted to see if anyone had advice on stuff to do, see, and/or eat.
I don't know any Polish other than "na zdrowie" and "kurwa". While this will likely take me rather far, I'd like to try my hand at a few other phrases to at least show the language some respect. I doubt I'll be able to nail the pronunciation of Brzęczyszczykiewicz before I go, but I can at least say Grzegorz with some amount of confidence... So there's that.
I'm a little uncertain how long I'll be staying, but it likely won't be more than a few days; a week at most. I'm heading out with a friend, a friend of a friend, and that friend of a friend's group of friends. We're going to rent a house for the occasion and likely spend most of the time drinking. Seeing as this group of people is primarily made up of Poles, plus one Finn, I realize that trying to keep up will likely result in my death. It's a risk I'll just have to take.
Anyways, as such, I'm probably not going to be doing a lot of hiking or indeed traveling around lots of different parts of Poland looking at monuments.
So far, the only things that are on the "To Do" list for certain are:
-Eat pierogi
-Drink some proper Polish kwas
-Żurek, perhaps?
-The concert
-Grab as many bottles of
walnut vodka as I'm legally capable of bringing back to Norway (and a bottle or two to have while I'm there)
-Keep an eye out for winged hussars
