Poland new connections

Finally i can sit down and write about my last trip to Poland after a restless week of post-trip recovery and partying.

This trip is all about friendship.

With an not so cheap flight from Lot, the polish airlines, i came to Warsaw.
After meeting up with my dear friend and handed over some smuggled German Sausages i head 5 hrs straight up to Sopot, the very north of Poland.

There i was received by my newest buddy, Alicja.
For i have only met her once over a nite of party Leo's and some meeting arrangements via the msn, i will be staying at her place. I think both of us are pretty brave and i'm glad it happened.

First we have to rush off from the train station to drop my bag then to the Basketball stadium for the Polish national playoffs. Where Alicja and her brother Peter are avid basketball fans of their home team, Sopot. This is not some lame singapore basketball team, they had reach the quater finals of the European 'champion's league' b4 and were also a national champion team.
With Popcorn and Coke i enjoyed the exciting match. It was definitely an memorable experience to watch a basketball match in Poland!! Which tourist would have tried it?

After a prompt rest and some yummy polish sandwiches by alicja's mum. We head to some bars to chill lax...This brother and sister pair aims to make me drunk with exotic polish drinks. Of cos they failed, but we had so much fun by just simply chilling out, chatting and playing some games.

I should also mention, Jacky, who is totally crazy over my presence and tried to kiss me when i was sleeping. I woke up with jacky nose right next to mine. By the way.....Jacky is their pet dog.

A trip to Sopot beautiful Beach and Gdansk Glowny (old town) follows after a refreshing long sleep that i totally needed.
(P.S: I havent slept the nite b4 the trip, traveled 1 1/2 hrs of flight, 5hrs of train.)

Gdansk was a nice city with rich architecture and also yummy food! i had my lunch at Sphinx, a famous polish restuarant chain and i love my shoama...slurrrp.

Some pictures and great hospitality by Alicja and Bro, i'm leaving Gdansk for Warzawa!

At warsaw, there are abt 9 Singaporean SMU students there, tho i only met abt 5-6 of them. I was totally excited and elated. Singaporeans u know......i haven seen 1 for a very very long time..
Together, the singapore gang , 2 german students and 1 german army boy we went to club in Harlem. The only club that i went in poland, it wasnt fanciful but it has great RnB music and definitely the best company i could have. I had lots of fun.

Next was a picnic with these people at one of the parks.
Warsaw wasnt much abt sightseeing, afterall....Its all about the same.
Warsaw is more about forging frienships, chilling out and talking the singapore way.
I enjoyed myself alot in warsaw, Thank you my friends!

With very limited time, i failed to make it to Aushwitz concentration camp but still manage to squeeze something out from Krakow under 3hrs. Old town Old town...Churches, town square, town hall, rivers and bridges. Pretty nice.

Then i was back to Warsaw in the evening for some final Chunkilo (chill lax) session at the bar below the Student Dorm. After a nice farewell lunch, with sweet memories by these beutiful and nice people from singapore, i'm going back to Germany...
