Life / Questions about Lublin [39]

Carlb- 'eh. Trolley buses seem to be out of my way. There are only 4 buses off my street and the other stops are far enough away that I may as well just walk the extra distance and save my 2 zlotys. I've cracked the schedule though. When I'm getting around and I get that 1st instinct to go to the bus regardless of the schedule, I go. Seems to work. If I tell myself I have 9 minutes before I need to walk out the door, I miss my bus.

I must not get out much, because the only other native in Lublin I have met worked at my school.

Travel / Paris to Lublin [6]

I like the private jet Mark.... but 1 issue. If I had cheap and easy availability to a private jet, i'd be the one traveling Europe!

Thanks guys.

Life / Questions about Lublin [39]

Man, what part of town do you live? I'm near LSM and the 3 buses that get me to work and Plaza are NEVER on time. I was very proud of myself for getting to know my bus routes and would hustle to get to the shelter to just wait and worry I missed my bus. A few of my students feel my pain, so maybe it just depends on the route and the line....
