This was a joke... But apparently, you and you wife descent from similar background ; for over 50 years Krakow (the capital of Galicia region) and Hungary (and some other regions) were within the borders of the same state: the Austro-Hungarian Empire...

I agree with you (surprise? ): Krakow is a very beautiful, ancient city.
See some photos from June 2007 'CSVs Parade' - on the Midsummer Night (or rather evening) we walked from the Main Market Square to the Royal Wawel Castle. Incredible, how well Ceskoslovensky Vlcaks behaved in historical settings among crowds of tourists.





Later, at the 'Galician Meeting' in Magda & Andrzej's garden ("Galicyjski Wilk"), the dogs very quickly organised themselves in a pack and had much fun, just like their owners .
