Law / Any good business ideas - what Poland needs? [114]
most of these stores/shops are actually quite little. i sometimes have reason to buy up to 6m lengths. problem is the width, which is never more than 1m 50cm. i usually buy near home so can't offer much about other shops. however, feniks in rynek might have something on one of its floors.

and as such contradicts your original point.
have you ever been in intensive care and had students mull of what might or might not be wrong ? i have.
think of it from the point of view of the patient who may think he/she is at death's door. when you qualify and start doing your hospital rounds please limit the number of students to two or three and have them keep their mouths shut. the patient has nothing else to do than take in all that is front of him. just one ill informed clown and the patient's confidence can go right out the window.
This is an extremely obvious statement
and as such contradicts your original point.
because that means they often have 5-6 fresh minds considering the state of their health in addition to their regular health care provider.

almost no shops have tickets here (wroclaw). however, there are machines that operate in three or four languages and take cash or plastic.
to buy a ticket on a bus or tram one needs plastic.
there must be ticket machines in poznan, yes/no ?
Honestly, in most parts of the city, you can buy tickets easily. I suspect it's more related to the fact that he's been here for ages and still can't buy tickets from the shop.

in most places pressing the button makes no difference. the sequence of lights has already been decided. don't know about poznan though. the signal button may be to aid blind folk as it has an audible warning. but then again, one would hear it anyway.
Why do pedestrians need to press a button in order to get a signal allowing them to cross the road?

there is an official report, in english, which lists the steps taken by the german authorities, after the discovery at katyn.
i know because i read it a week or two ago. but of course, i've lost the link.
you could also watch the film 'Katyn'. one doesn't need to speak Polish to know/see what took place.
not all of those found at katyn were reinterred there. this is regardless of what any report says to the contrary.
