People i met here who contributed to, and improved my trip: Stale (Norway), Juergen (Canada), Brett (Australia), Jose (Australia), Magda (Poland), Nathans Villa receptionists (Poland) I visited Warsaw 3 years ago, but due to a lack of accomodation i only saw the central area around the train …

The third day was a slow starter we stayed a long time in the hotel and used the facilities. As the pool was closed we had to enjoy the relaxing facilities of the gym!

I came to Warsaw two years ago to study Korean Language and Culture at Warsaw University. In Lodz University we don't have such cool departments. At first I wasn't very happy because I'm not a huge Warsaw fan. Let's be honest. I think that most of Poles are not very into Warsaw. It's just a gr…

So today I woke up in time to partake of the free breakfast included with the cost of my room... judging by the limited selection of stale cereal and instant coffee I had to choose from, I'm convinced that "free" translates to "shitty" in Polish when used to describe a meal.  After sucking dow…

Vilnius Weekend   There are plenty of options for weekend travels from Warsaw.  This time we're heading to Lithuania. I'm excited about visiting my first ex Soviet Socialist Republic and seeing where  my Aunt Elaine's family is from.  I'm also interested to see how it differs …

And so next morning I wake up in my 4th country in as many days...    I’m excited about Poland.  Reaching the Polish border on foot was the “high water mark” of my Summer of 2000 adventure and since then I’ve been itching to explore the country properly.  Now at least…

We knew it would be a long day of travelling from Vilnius to Warsaw, but we couldnt quite understand why seeing as it's only 300-400km away yet would take 9 hours. We had one change to make once we got to the boarder as the tracks used in Poland are slightly wider than those used in Lithuania.Once …

After all was said and done, we were at the gate about an hour before we had to be there, so we got a newspaper and headed for a café close to the gate to have something while we read.  The place, called Angolo Café was pretty terrible.  The cashier even tried to short change me which i…

City about many faces

Nice to get somewhere and have someone waiting for me at the airport. My friend Michal came to pick me up – it’s sure nice to arrive somewhere and find a friendly face there waiting for you.  :-)

After our sightseeing we returned to our friends' home for lunch - Sauerbraten!  which was really delicious, and knudeln, potatoes, green beans, carrots...  After lunch Jürgen and Magda took us to the train station.  The Berlin Hauptbahnhof is one of the newest train stations in E…

There was just enough time for a final walk around the neighbourhood I had been staying in before I headed to Warsaw airport.  Again, I felt a longing to stay in this country but unfortunately had to be back at work the following day.  I think the hardest part of going home was that I h…

Postage Stamps   Postage Stamps are another kind of traveller, bearers of tidings from one country to the next, making their way across towns, states, countries and international borders, while carrying a small sample of the sender’s culture, heritage, political system or current events.&n…

Everyone says Warsaw is ugly and boring, but I thought the buildings were quite cool looking. Everything here is under construction and I think in 5 years I'm sure I won't even recognize the city.

don't know why, but this city attracts in some new, different wayme each time i get there. but what remains is the magnetism of Polish Catholic Chirches. i invite you to have a trip round Stare Myasto (the Old City) and have an insight to the Palac Krolewski (the King's Palace)
