The snow is falling.
00:07
The Christmas lights are all around me.
00:10
It's dark.
00:11
The music's playing in the background.
00:14
It's a perfect moment.
00:15
I'm back in Kraków.
00:19
With the contest chair flow Toastmasters and guests.
00:23
Ever since I left home, there seems to be a slight hole inside of me, like there's something
00:29
missing.
00:30
Don't get me wrong, I love my life over here.
00:34
I love the valleys, I love the mountains, I love the rivers.
00:38
But forever and ever, there will be a part of me that craves home, that craves Poland.
00:47
And once every couple of years, I have the great pleasure to travel back home for Christmas.
00:55
You'll see the lovely Christmas market, taste the delicious Polish delicacies.
01:03
And I don't know if any of you have been to Kraków before.
01:07
If you have, you do understand the certain magic that place has.
01:12
And it is so wonderful, in fact, that even my partner fell in love with the place.
01:17
She's been all over the place, she's been all over the world, America, Australia, everywhere.
01:23
But whenever we are talking about summer to travel, we always say, let's go to Kraków,
01:29
let's wait for Christmas.
01:32
So Mr. Contest Chair and fellow Toastmaster, I think that the same as for most of us, a
01:40
place that holds a special place in our hearts, in my heart especially, is home.
01:47
So where I love to visit and the place I love the most is home.
01:52
Mr. Contest Chair.
