Nah... just horny adventurers looking to escape the humdrum existence of 9 to 5 and annoying gits who should be applying for a 15 week interview on'The Apprentice' and not posting here. |
How I yearn for my days in Poland, with the consummate family man who blows 1500 pounds in one night (or at least in one bender) in "special nightclubs."
Enjoy Poznan, dude. Tell our favorite barista that I say hello.
As to the original thread, 1500zl with a free flat is not totally bad. 4000zl is better. When I was in Poland I felt rich enough to buy anything I wanted whenever I wanted. Don't think I could have done that with 1500zl. |

Why are people still trying to tell me that I can't possibly have a good lifestyle on my wage (which at IH Bydgoszcz is now slightly more than 1,500, but moving on) when I have been living here quite happily?
I go out every Friday and Saturday night, I spend Sundays in the pub watching football with my mates, I usually go out drinking twice during the week and I play football once a week. I've always got beer and food in my fridge, I'm busy and I like my job. I even bought new shoes just the other day!
So why are you telling me that I should be miserable? I'm more than happy with my life here.
Very arrogant of you. |
I imagine some of us may have ambitions stretching beyond that of owning a new pair of shoes.
You remind me a little of Baldrick in Blackadder whose aim in life was to possess an enormous turnip.
Still, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, each to his own. |

Back to Bydgoszcz.
I just looked in on the old town a couple of days ago.
I didn't take long, just a look at a few places I stayed at. Rondo Torunski and the new Tesco shop, the old town and Venice then up to the Pod and up Dworcowa.
All this was viewed on Googlearth.
Start at Gdansk and follow the river south till you hit the docks for the Brda and turn right.
It is worth a look to get a bird's eye view. I had no idea it looked that bad. I probably would not have gone had I seen it from this side before going. |

Back to the OP.............. Le Cirque d' International House, I won't call it a school, describes Bydgoszcz as ' The Venice of Poland'.
I remember it, amazing thinking back to how much we used to drink in those days, as a small, rather drab provincial town in which everything was closed on Sundays.
It was however home to the best Polish bar I've ever seen aka 'Musg/the Brain'.....forerunner to somewhere like Dragon in Poznan.
In fact, I might go there next week. |

| Last I heard, Mozg had been closed/knocked down to make way for some shopping mall. Shame if that's true. |

That's a shame. I liked Mozg also.  |

Mozg is certainly not closed. Still there, but the entrance did resemble a building site for a few months.
It's still there. |

Good,
Leszek needs somewhere to be placed in my memory banks.
that must have been one of the smokiest places I ever went to thank God for the music, it was the only thing that kept all the people away |
