... in Poland and in other parts of Eastern Europe are exceptionally ugly. If all I did was look out the window when the trains stopped, I would just move on. Luckily, these are not at all a reflection of the towns.

Poznan is like a smaller scale version of Wroclaw. Just like Wroclaw, it is fascinating to walk around the old town. The Old Town Hall is beautiful. It is now a museum which is well worth visiting, especially for the ...

... improve my status as a super-wanderer among my alley-cat - bicycle messenger in Amsterdam speak - amigos back home. Not really the way I see it though...just enjoy being in motion, enjoy experiencing new emotions, discovering the newness of things, meeting new people - not all of them nice but then neither am I.

New cultures and traditions change the moment I cross the border!! Not like the inside of an Amsterdam ...

When the bell rang everyone went oooh ahhh and I imagine that the pickpockets went to work while everyone was looking up at the doors under the clock. It took a while to become obvious what was happening from the angle I was watching from, but there were two goats, the symbol of Poznan. The goats rammed ...
