Poland Experience - The Start - Her side of the story

We are doing fine here.Life here is normal and  a routine now …..Weekdays Rajaneesh is busy with work and office and weekends we just laze around or travel a bit. Cooking , Cleaning , Washing , Office work and some shopping keeps me occupied most days during the week. Its quite easy to get used to this lifestyle but the need to work creeps in once in a while now :-).

I am familiar with the trams and buses and the public transport system and can figure my way to the city centre, supermarket etc.

The long summer days are over and its getting a little cold.The sun is still shining occassionally during the week and the leaves are slowly turning colors. Quite beautiful and nice outside.

During one of the weekends we had been to this town called Sobotka. Its the base of a small mountain called Sleza. We stayed in the town on Saturday and hiked up to the summit on Sunday. It took us about 2 hours each way . Was quite tiring but nice.

Another nice town we had been to was a tri-city place called Gdank-Sopot-Gydnia 3 weeks back (for a weekend). Its in Northern Poland at the Baltic Sea. That’s where World War 2 started apparently. The place was quite pretty and had a nice mix of medieval european town and a beach city.

Rashmi's brother was visiting us here during the last weekend since he was on a 10 day vacation in Europe. We had been to the Tatra Mountains in Southern Poland and to a town called Zakopane. It was quite an exotic place with the mountains and the nature. A must-see place in Poland.

Lotsa snaps in the below link :-)))).

Rajaneesh went berserk with the camera and couldn’t stop clicking pictures …….Fortunately or unfortunately I forgot to get my camera from India :-))))))))))))))

Wroclaw is a beautiful city with a river and lots of bridges. .But people dont speak english at all and its not possible to survive here without knowing the language.Even for the basic stuff like Policeman , Post Office or hospital we need to know Polish.
Rajaneesh knows a few words and phrases and can manage to pass off some conversation.

Polish people - I havent interacted too much with them since we have a language barrier.But Rajaneesh interacts with them everyday at work etc and he will have many interesting stories to share when he is back in India .

The apartment is a nice residential locality but accessibility is not the best. The closest bus stop or tram station is about 10 mins walk (which is ok in summer). Now we are looking for another place since its easier to stay downtown/city centre especially during winter.

Havent found too many Indians around. In fact I have seen just 1 other Indian whom we bumped into in a tram. Seems like he has been here for 5 years and is from Hyderabad. Didnt sound too happy with the people :-)
