This week we finish our Eastern European tour with visits to Czechia and Poland. Hear about our new favorite city Prague, a delightful Krakow, and two stories involving urine.
Disclaimer: We recorded after we'd enjoyed a big Polish meal and some homemade plum vodka, so errors were made. Here are the corrections:
1. John Lennon was killed in 1980, not 1989 as Danielle stated. And the Lennon Wall began shortly after his death to honor his message of peace, not before as Brad thought. As protests against communism gained momentum in the late 1980s, the Lennon Wall became a space for the young people of Prague to express themselves.
2. There are 100,000 Jewish people buried in the old Prague cemetery under 12,000 tombstones. Brad said there were double those amounts.
3. Warsaw became the capital of Poland in 1596, not the "late 1400s, early 1500s."
4. The Wieliczka Salt Mine stopped commercial production in 1996, like Brad said. Danielle was way off.
