Travel / About my Holiday in Krakow - the wonderful hospitality in Poland [8]

A couple of friends and I(Canadian and Swiss) also recently returned from a trip to Warsaw and Gdansk/Sopot...and I have to agree with mazzastaffordsh. Polish people were nothing but great during our stay.

Too bad it was in October, and the skies were kind of grey..but perhaps...I'll get to visit in the summer one time :)

Travel / Visiting Warsaw: [Travel Video] Days One, Two and Three (Now Complete) [30]

Hi all, during a recent trip to Warsaw, a couple of friends and I produced a travel video with the perspective of the mid-twenty somethings in mind. It may be a little unconventional of me to post a link to our travel adventures instead of a written report, but there are sights to be seen that no word could describe.

Enjoy Day One:

Or at travelistic.com/video/show/11146/Living.-.-.Warsaw-//-Day-One]

Cheers and do let us know what you think!

Hey Rdywenur, thanks for the feedback!

This video was of our day one adventures. We have a couple more episodes to put together that will showcase the other parts of Warsaw. Do you live in Warsaw?

We live in Vancouver and Calgary, both in Western Canada...Finance and Engineering.

Have you been to Canada?

Thanks Daisy!

If its not running so smooth, you can click to turn 'HD off' on the video. That way, it will run in a lower resolution.

Just out of curiosity. Are you all living in Poland? Must be weird/interesting to see Poland from a foreigner's eyes!

I'm also currently teaching myself Polish through as many courses and do-it-yourself's as I can

Online? Or did you buy books?

Good luck in your job search!

West Coast...nice there too

The West Coast is definitely much much different compared to the East. Its a slower paced environment over here...with more of an emphasis on quality of life..and beautiful scenery.

Just thought I'd post up a youtube version incase the other links don't work.



Cheers, 2nd episode on the way!

What type of video camera are you using?

I use a Sony HDR-SR12.

Thanks for all the kind feedback everyone! :D

Hello,

Day Two of our adventures is now posted! In this episode, we visit the financial district, the warsaw rising museum, and the palace of culture and science.

For High-Def you can visit : vimeo.com/2318312]Living. . .Warsaw // Day Two @ Vimeo.

Or on Travelistic at travelistic.com/video/show/11382/Living.-.-.Warsaw-//-Day-Two]Travelis tic.

Or if you prefer, here is the youtube link, though I highly recommend the other options as Youtube has a rather poor video quality output.

Thanks for watching :)

Travel / Visiting Warsaw: [Travel Video] Days One, Two and Three (Now Complete) [30]

I have one final day's worth of footage where we visit the Praga district in Warsaw.

And thats all for Warsaw!

We also visited Gdansk during our trip to Poland and I may look at putting that one together sometime in the future after I recover from having my eyes glued to the computer screen squinting and editing all of last week! I have a rather slow computer..

For some reason, the previous Warsaw Day One video had been blocked from view in Poland due to copyright issues surrounding particular music in the video. I have re-edited and uploaded a new version. :)

P.S. We recently travelled to Wroclaw and Krakow...and will be uploading those videos in the near future ;) ...Loved Poland in the spring..:)

Travel / Questions about Vilnius [7]

Hi BLS,

We recently visited Vilnius and stayed in HostelGate: hostelgate.lt

It is probably one of the better hostels in Vilnius as there isn't a huge selection.

I also recommend taking a half day excursion to see Trakai Castle. You can get there by bus and it is a 45-min ride from the central bus station.
