you can buy tickets at 'kiosks' :), i havent seen any tickets machines
yes, its not far from the center, if you tell where you are going to stay i can tell you how far exactly
1. If I get a train to Fabryczna, will it be easy to find somewhere which sells bus/tram tickets? I'm assuming you buy them at a kiosk like most other places, yes? Or do they have ticket machines (like at Wrocław airport)?

i think "siema" is the word made by Jurek Owsiak in early 90's when the Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy (The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity) was made. He was used to say siema every time he was appearing on tv :) its made from "jak sie masz" as Szwed said :)
