ENTERING POLAND THE FIRST TIME – MY TIME IN SKAŁA
The first time I went to Poland was in the year 1978. I had arranged a stay in a farmer’s family in the small town Skała 20 kilometers away from Cracow. I could stay there for a month. Here some pictures of my first meetings with the people in foreign country to me and not yet knowing much of the language. Nevertheless the one month course of the Polish language in Helsinki before my trip helped a lot.
