The conference provided a week’s travel pass for Poznan. This was quite useful, but I don’t yet have the testicular fortitude to attempt to navigate my way through the Tram map, never mind get on one of those packed vehicles which look as if they have been running along the same track since the 60’s.
The conference is a long and tiring day – so I opt for a quick walk around Poznan before heading off to bed.
The main stuff of interest in Poznan is in the main square(Stary Rynek). The big spire is the town hall(I think).
What;s the story Tobermory. That's what this is like - that scottish Telly programme with all the different coloured houses. They like their colourful houses here. These are the Fish sellers houses, which were apparently the fish market.
When I get back to the hotel – I decide that a quick beer is in order in the Hotel bar. I take in my laptop to go over some of the day-s work. It turns out the bar has wifi, so I end up on MSN. An old friend from high school(Of nine inch nail fame) is on and she too is sitting behind a computer screen with a drink.
We have chat and it serves as a pint and a chin wag with a mate – the only thing that is vitual is the table. I am in Poland, she is in Glasgow and the conversation wouldn’t have been any different if we were both in the same place, the only difference is that I would have been drinking Tennents and more of it. For those interested in world beers. Tonight's beer is not Lech, but "Zywied".
Technology is a wonderful thing. Theres a little bit of Scotland in the corner of my computer.
Early start – so early night
