Going to Poland; Przasnysz

Hi all,
I'm going to poland for work for 3 weeks. I will be in Przasnysz, 110km north of Warsaw. I did a search of the forums and only 1 post mentioned Przasnysz in passing. I understand there is only 1 hotel, which has no internet.

Hotel Garnizonowy Tel: +48 (0) 2232
I have a Polish co-worker who I will ask to call and ask for sure.

Does anyone happen to know if there an internet cafe?

I will need to research my meatless polish meals as I am a vegetarian. Eating out for every meal will be challenging as a vegetarian I have been told.

If anyone has any info to share on the town, I would be very grateful.

Hi Blair, I had a pleasure to study not so far away from Przasnysz - in Pultusk. Przsnysz is rather small and poor town. Population there- 17.823.

The hotel you are gonna stay belong to Polish army. I believe Polish soldiers have some kind of base in Przasnysz. Internet cafe are not that popular in small towns but hopefully they will have some internet connection in Hotel. For sure they have one cinema:)

When you'll have a chance please visit Pultusk- it's called polish Venice. It's really pretty, small old town with amazing castle and longest Market in Europe. One of the Napoleon's battles took a place in Pultusk.

I don't think so it will be very difficult to get vegetarian meals as vegetarianism is very popular in Poland now.

In case you'll need anything or will have more questions- please let me know.

Good luck!

I had THE pleasure to study not so far away from Przasnysz is better

Just don't say 'I was pleasured not so far away from Przasnysz', we could get the wrong idea about u, LOL. Or was that the right idea?

Seanus, I'm sorry for my poor english- it's not my mother language. I've been working 3 years on Manager position in LA and so far hadn't have any problems with my bosses- Americans. Just American people compare to Polish have a class. Sorry to say that. I don't think so anyone else except you got wrong idea about my post.

I'm done with you.

I NEVER said ur English was poor. I'm not Polish and ur English is awesome. I'm an English teacher.

Przasnysz, is it difficult to pronounce for you?

Not really, no.

Monika
Thanks for your reply. I will have weekends free so I will visit Pultusk once.
I found another hotel and restaurant in town with internet connection, that I will stay at.
Hopefully I can find activities in Przasnysz during the week to entertain me.

My wife will be joining me for 1 week. We plan on visiting Warszawa, Krakow and Gdansk. We might stop at poznan between krakow and Gdansk. We will travel by train, looking forward to it.

Blair

I live close by Poznan- it's very nice there. Krakow is amazing and beautiful- it's my favorite place in Poland and lots to do there. I'm sure your wife will like it!

Wish you lots fun in Poland

Help me understand. Wages in Poland are 700 to 900 US dollars a month. Hotels in the
moderate range are 90-150 US dollars a month. Gas is $7 USD gallon. Restaurants are
10-20 USD a month. What am I missing here. How can the Polish people afford to go out.

Only by people who have never been to Venice or seen any photographs of Venice.


It is indeed a very nice little town and I like it a lot.

Harry I like your sense of humor:) And probably you're right- this who called Pultusk polish Venice never gone there! It's nice town, especially during spring time. I have only good memories from there, maybe because it was good study time:)

I have now been in Przasnysz for a few days. My vegetarian needs are being met by the restaurant owner here, which is great. I spent the weekend in Warsaw so don't know what a weekend is like here. Did some grocery shopping, walked to work today. This week I hope to get some exploring done, as I've been busy on the laptop getting caught up the last night or 2.

Monika, I traveled thru Pultusk, Poland on the bus last night on the way to Przasnysz. Maybe I'll ask a co-worker to take me there one day or get a company loaner vehicle for a day. Looked alright from the bus.
