Recycling

Poland had no recycling anywhere, though one of our hostel hosts said that as of July 1, some law was passed about it, yet it had not yet become practice.

The Berlin airport had glass and paper recycling only. No aluminum or plastic.

Barcelona has giant recycling and compost bins in some street corners. Yet our apartment is so small and cramped, I question whether people have room for sorting bins in their kitchens. Our apt has just one small trash can in the kitchen, total. We are gathering recycling in a reusable bag I brought, so we can empty it at the street corner the next day.

I wasn't homesick so much in krakow but I am here. The Barcelona apartment is much less cool than the pictures led us to believe, plus they don't have or use the AC they advertised. I hope we can summon the power to get out to check out some cool stuff before we leave for Galicia in three days, and don't regret our stopover here.
