I have lost some money….not because I was careless and dropped it somewhere, nor did I get ripped off by a dodgy trader. The money was just sitting in my wardrobe waiting for my next trip to the Eurozone. Because of the weakening Pound, my Euros have lost value and some analysts are predicting parity [...]

It’s past midnight, so yesterday I went to Nowa Huta which was built as a model socialist city in the 1950s and 60s to house the workers of the Nowa Huta (New Steelworks).

Yes it is that time of the year again when I get a little bit older and a little bit wiser! Today on my birthday I went to Slovakia which is only a 3 hour coach journey away from Krakow. Maria and I went skiing and I had the most fantastic day, ignoring the fact [...]

One of my first posts this year in January was about me trying [...]

Yesterday evening I came back from a brief business trip to London. When we were nearly at Krakow the pilot informed us that there was snow in Krakow. We started to land and although I wasn’t sitting by the window I could see it was snowing heavily as everytime the light on the [...]

Last Sunday Poland had an election. The main opposition party won a massive victory. Check out the BBC link above for more details. I went to a polling station to see how the Polish vote. It seamed much more laid back than a UK one (for example I was allowed to go behind the screen [...]
