Back From Downtown


After spending an hour in downtown Bydgoszcz, I was back home, relieve to see that the internet was ready to be activated, but first, I'll tell you all about Bydgoszcz. We just walked down from our apartment, into the downtown. We visited the famous river bridge, the Opera Nova opera house, Bydgoszcz Plaza (Which is known for its huge flocks of birds), a Mill Island, some of Bydgoszcz's famous restaurants, started up our cell phone, saw some churches (When the clock striked noon I definitely heard more than 12 rings), and a street crossing. Very.... Exciting.... After taking the city bus "home", we settled in, got people to finish setting up our internet (finally), had lunch (fries), went shopping, came back. After that, we went to the local airport to watch a plane land, but we had tough luck, since the time we went for, was an airplane landing in another city, but just departing from here. We only saw a small biplane land. I'm back home now, ready to eat dinner, so i'll write again tomorow (which we have no idea what we'll be doing).

P.S. This is the first post that I'm writing directly from the internet.

Bydgoszcz (At Last)


Written in the morning of June 26th at 11:22 (GMT +1), before I had internet: The flights went well, and surprisingly, there was no lost luggage, and no plane delays. The flights were actually shorter than excepted. but it was hard to find the oversized bag dispenser for our last bag. From the Warsaw Airport, it was a 4-hour drive to Bydgoszcz, where we’re staying. I slept for a majority of it, as I barely slept on the planes (which had movies, games, and electrical power). Once we were there, I just settled in, and had these amazingly good Polish Donuts. It was hard with no American (or even British) channels, no internet, or American food. Everything is so different. After a good 14 hour sleep, we woke up to get the internet working, and it didn’t work… oh how I miss America. Now I’m off for a walk to downtown Bydgoszcz, where things should hopefully get exciting.
