What’s the experience like?

You know that feeling when you’re standing by Neptune’s Fountain in Gdansk and you can already hear laughter echoing down Dlugi Targ? That’s where we met our guide, Kasia, who waved us over like she’d known us forever. I was a little nervous—my Polish is basically nonexistent—but honestly, everyone just seemed ready to have a good time. Kasia handed out the first round (vodka, of course), and suddenly it didn’t matter where anyone was from. The air smelled faintly sweet from street vendors grilling sausages nearby, which made me weirdly hungry even though it was barely 8pm.

The first bar was dim, loud, and packed with locals. We played some drinking game I’d never heard of (I lost immediately—no surprise), but it broke the ice fast. Each new bar meant another shot—one tasted almost herbal, which Kasia said was a “classic,” though I’m still not sure what was in it. We swapped stories with two students from Poznań and a couple from Spain; someone tried to teach me how to say “cheers” in Polish (Na zdrowie?), but I probably butchered it. There were these little moments—sticky tables, someone singing off-key near the jukebox—that made it feel real, not staged.

By the time we reached the club (VIP entry felt oddly fancy after all those shots), my head was buzzing but in a good way. The music thumped so hard you could feel it through your shoes. Our group had sort of fused together by then—people hugging goodbye who’d only met hours before. I remember stepping outside for air around 2am; the city lights on the Motława River looked almost soft and blurry. I still think about that view sometimes when I hear certain songs—it’s funny how nights like that stick with you.
