Looking critically, behind the scenes&#x2014;and to some extend unfortunately also on the stage&#x2014;this was an organisational mess. Some of this definitely could&rsquo;ve been prevented &#x2013; Apt and I take full responsibility for the original error of failing to secure a venue in time. Other hecticness in the planning wasn&rsquo;t really preventable&#x2014;there&rsquo;s a reason this post opens with a description of our schedule&#x2014;but will be avoided in the future. It was a learning experience for sure.

With us primarily being there for the event and it being a really busy period, I don&rsquo;t think any of us had really read up on the city very much. Safe to say we were all very pleasantly surprised! Wrocław is an absolutely lovely city; real student town energy with lots of young people, very warm hospitality and a very homely, casual atmosphere in restaurants as well.

Overall Wrocławians made a strong impression on me as warm, hospitable, humorous and headstrong people. Wrocław had a very active anti-communist resistance that they are very proud of, and they&rsquo;ve kept that history very alive, both visibly in the city scape but also in their endearing fashion sense.
