DZIEN DOBRY ! nd Day 1 : 2 of DecemberBefore leaving Dresden, we did a last stop to see the architecture of the historical museum of Army. We arrived in Krakow in the evening and had a nice welcome from the Polish school. After a short meeting we went to our penfriend's families and tasted Polish traditional dishes. 3. district created by the Soviets after the 2 world war. The architecture was very interesting because it is a mix between all architectural styles of the 2nd part of the 20th century. In the afternoon we visited the Mocak (Museum Of Contemporary Art in Krakow) in Podgorze, a district where many industrial sites are being refurbished into museums. The Mocak temporary exhibition was quite creepy, strange and really disturbing. After that we saw the Ghetto place, where Jewish people were brought to get deported to Auschwitz/birkenau concentration camp. It was very impressive and it brought many emotions. Then we spent a very nice FIRST in Kaziemierz (theIN POLAND WAKE UP Jewish district). eveningDay 2 : 3 of December rd 4. I LOVE POLAND !

We expected a great moment of exchange and work with Polish students who were in architecture section but we have been very disappointed.
