Poles apart
... I treated myself to a first class sleeper, although by Polish rail standards this simply means you don't have to share your room with an unscrupulous pensioner, and you get something the packet advised was a cold polish sausage for breakfast.

Just one day out of life - it would be so nice
... and by creepy men in a frenzy, speaking to me in intense polish. It would appear that the poles are a creepy people! But it's not true. I am just running into a lot of bums. I'm noticing that I'm more comfortable with the poles than any culture so far - they're less rude and cold than neighbouring countries like the Czech Republic, and especially Germany.
