something most folk are unaware of.

the remains of the original castle/big house will be open to the public when the tourist season begins proper.

the building is on ostrow tumski and it was built by the czech guy who gave his name to the city.

i could waffle on a bit more about this, if need be.

for those who care.

the ticket prices in one of those links above are out of date.

adult single = 3zl

this one might seem odd. ..... when putting coins in the pavement/sidewalk ticket machines....... sometimes the coins need a little help... use a second coin to push in the first coin.

also, the coins don't go straight in.... they should be slotted in at a slight angle.

the machines give change, but they won't return/refund coins for any other reason.

News / Polish language diacritical marks at risk! [20]


i've just been chatting about this offline. in the early days of mobile phones one paid for the amount of space used. ą ć ę etc cost more to send than a c e

therefore once the culture of using english language characters set in it became too late to do anything about it.

however, one can argue that folks these days use smartphones (mini computers) so it shouldn't be a problem to set up for correct Polish language.

History / The Humble Beginnings of Empik in Poland [14]

in the days when people actually bought cd's Empik was the first stop, but only to check the product. folks would usually go and buy somewhere else/cheaper.

they also have a problem with customers who think the shop is a library. i for one won't buy a well thumbed book/mag as new.

the shop's friendly policy is one of the things that is working against it. and there are plenty of cheaper shops.
