Hey, my manager wants me in Katowice, Poland at the end of the month for 4 days. He promises I'll be heading home with an alcoholic coma, but I was wondering if anyone from Poland (@norbar is the most memorable Polish monkey IIRC) could chime in and suggest what else could I do there besides drinking.

Also, if anyone knows where could I buy cheap enduro tires while being there, please throw it here!

I have never been there. However Silesian Foods are very hearty and usually slathered with delicious Mushroom gravy. The little meatloafs called Rolada (think Salisbury steak) are delicious, They put onions pickles and bacon in them and sometimes on them. They make these little Pierogis with just Potato. They put the mushroom gravy on them. They are famous also for Egg Noodles and pickles also. I do not like Blood sausage, they do though. Worth a try.

Katowice train station at 3am was one of the scarier places I've ever been.

If you can make it to Krakow or Zakopane, dooooo it!

Murder both the bourgeoisie and burgeoning nazis in one trip? Fortunately there's some likely crossover in the name of efficiency.

Do NOT however go by train. There are inexpensive and much pleasant-er busses. The train was a zombie movie with several very unpleasant encounters with highly intoxicated people. Wife's relatives were like you took the TRAIN?! Are you IDIOTS?!"

The people at Cumulus make some pretty nice sleeping bags and comforters, you could grab one of them and an Antidote Carbonjack frame whilst there.

That's saying something, coming from you given all the places you've been.
