First Extermination Camp
... destroyed compare to all other Polish cities I had seen so far who were more 'new' or completely rebuilt after the war. Lublin still had a fully charming historic downtown. The lighting in the city in this dark winter day was giving quite a feeling on ...
Powrot do Polski i Lublina
Po dwoch dniach latania w koncu dotarlem do Lublina. Sama podroz byla raczej nudna, wiele sie nie dzialo, wiele tez nie czekalem na przesiadki. Jedynie poczatek byl troche emocjonujacy, bo oryginalnie mialem leciec przez Puerto Rico, a ten kraj w jakis ...
A Night in the Cloister.
... me by being quite nice. It has a pedestrianised old town, leading up to a castle. I had mislaid my guide to Poland and I'd expected Lublin to be like Białystock i.e. a mixture of factories, run-down apartment blocks and sex shops. I hadn't dared to ...
Week 11. A nation of tragic stories, lovely people
... catching the numbers and the hours he was saying... Now I'm back in Prague.... since the connections to Barcelona from Poland were terrible. I'll be going to Brussels and then flying, all because I got myself 15 euro flights!!! But... here's ...
Trip to Lublin and sleeping half the day
I didn't get a chance to write anything yesterday because we were in Lublin and I had a problem with getting the ADSL modem to work with the laptop. The trip from Warsaw to Lublin took us about two and a half hours and wasn't too bad compared with today's ...
Night train, death camp
... update...for once A rather bad night train...no bed and a rather full train took us to the eastern edge of poland to lublin to visit a lesser known but more well preserved concentration camp. I'll save the details as I'm sure everyone is well aware ...
Majdanek Camp
We got up early and ate our first breakfast in Poland. This consisted of watery eggs and rolls with butter and jam. The coffee was Nescafe. Have you ever had Nescafe before? Well, there is nothing that you could do to make Nescafe taste ...
The Storm/ The New Kids Are Here
THE STORM: Man oh man it was a storming on Sunday night. It has been really hot here lately so we have been getting a lot of storms at night. But Sunday's was by far the worst. We couldn't see very far out from our balcony because of how hard it ...
Life Lessons
... here, and USB ports are even harder to find. Well today I'm going to split my writing between ourless fortunate experiences here in Poland, and the my first success story. First story comes right after we got off the bus and into the dorm. My roommate ...
Our Last Class...(tear tear)
Well summer vacation can now resume. I am officially done with classes, and almost suprisingly sad about it. Our last class consisted of our test (which was not as short, nor as easy as Agnieszka promised it would be). Annnnnnnd we decided to nix the ...
Is it the weekend yet?/
So now I'm beginning to wonder how often my friends and I have made it as the topic of some Polish person's dinner table. Today, for example, we were trying to find a yarn store. (I'm teaching someone how to crochet!) So we looked about the word for ...
School time
I keep on forgetting my USB cable, so pictures from this beautiful city will have to be coming later. So, what to start with? Everyday when we go into our dorms, we have to ask the nuns (in full habit) for our key, in Polish mind you, no English. ...
Weather Forecast
The weather forecast for Poland in the summer: Mostly sunny with a chance of rain; temparatures ranging from 50-70 degrees Farenheit. Yeah, that's right, it is exactly the same every day. So everyday wear a tank top, bring a jacket, pack your umbrella, ...
Lublin, Poland
... you know your way aroung, and it was nice to have comfortable room to myself after a hostel... On the outkirts of Lublin, lies the concentration camp Majdenek, which although on a smaller scale to Aushwitz was equally traumatic, the Red Army encirled ...
ohhh the Polish Language
Well the main part of my trip consists of learning the Polish language. So how is this going you may be wondering?? Well, here is my conclusion: the easiest way to understand Polish langauge would be to have a child, make them learn it, and then have ...
Pictures Are HERE!!
Well i'm finally able to put some pictures online. I'm at an internet cafe, speaking French because that's how I can understand the guy in charge. The Polish is slooowly but surely coming around. Hehe. We went out last night to a cafe/bar. The cheap ...

Lublin
On Monday, I get to a city called Lublin doing some hitchhiking (I wanted so much, that I did it for this small distance), not so touristic but it will be because the city centre is really nice and getting restaured. Getting out of the car which took me ...
Majdanek
We really felt the need to learn more about the war, the camps and the Nazis regime so we decided to visit another camp, that was less well know. Again, this is not for everyone but we found it totally compelling, educational and ...

Music- Polish style

From Germany to Poland
... name so she could order it. So far I've managed to avoid getting tripe. We have been to many wonderful concerts in Poland, beginning in Torun, where there was a Pro Baltica Festival based (in honour of Copernicus). Musicians from several Baltic countries ...
Lublin
... Jewish but the principal knows they actually are. I'm not sure why they're so ashamed to admit their Jewishness even today, where Poland has surprisingly low levels of anti-Semitism. The principal told us that he only found out he was Jewish when he was ...
Public Transportation
... lines that stop at that bus stop posted in the shelter. Simplicity is often genious. Public transportation is worse in Poland because it is definately stinkier. No air conditioning my friends, combined with a people who still doesn't consider ...
A Polish/Scottish Wedding Experience
... family from all over! How fantastic for them all to make the journey, although they were rightfully confused when they landed in Poland and the weather was better home in Scotland ;) We start the drive towards Lublin and stopped mid-way for a fantastic ...
