TRAVELERT: Krakow Concert and Event Alerts

For those who are interested in food and nutrition surroundings check Galeria Pauza on Floriańska 18/5 (second floor) today at 7pm

“FOODJECTS is an exhibition presenting new patterns in kitchen utensils created by Spanish industrial designers and chefs. The purpose of their creation was to emphasise the texture, flavours, differences and aromas in new Spanish cuisine – one of the most creative and surprising in the world. Nearly 100 objects are a proof that consumption can also provide us with intelectuall and sensual experiences and an original exhibition installation created by Martín Azúy is an excellent creativity.”

Each Sunday morning is your chance to check out two of Kraków’s best flea markets, just a few minutes’ walk from the hostel. Visit the stalls around Plac Nowy for clothes, mostly, and go to Hala Targowa for an unclassifyable assortment of objects ranging from baffling crap to actual antiques. Spread out on tables, or on old sheets or blankets on the pavement you might be able to find:

• stacks of old magazines, postcards, and assorted forgotten documents
• vinyl records, cassettes, CDs, DVDs — all of mysterious origin, all old, all well-used
• cute little cups, plates and dishes a grandma would love
• communist and pre-communist memorabilia
• furniture
• religious portraiture
• German porn, slightly used
• cameras, from famed plastic Russian Lomos (cheap and plentiful!) to Zenit (you can hammer in a nail with them they are so solid) to older and more exotic ones
• a set of used false teeth or assorted dental tools
• a bag of rabbits

Good places to bargain, and an a place where you can see things (and people) you will not find anywhere else. If you are looking for one specific thing, you may not find it. But if you are just looking for nothing in particular you will not be disappointed. During the week these places sell fruit and veretables and some other things (underwear, meat, spices, flowers, frozen pierogi, kitchen items, etc.) but the flea markets are only on Sunday morning.

Highly talented Edwin Moes from Holland will perform in Cafe Szafe 14 of July, starts from 7 pm (probably 7:30- 8pm).

Good folk/pop/country mix, nice place, good atmosphere, no tickets and cold beer. What else do you need Thursday evening? (Maybe dinner at Travellers before;)
