History / Wrocław's Train Station: Not A Happy Place. [39]

Wrocław's Train Station: Not A Happy Place.

it's not a happy place at the moment because it is still being renovated.

the beggars are still there. I was inbound from berlin today, so i know.

it will be the same platforms but with a new roof, so it will still be bloody freezing in winter.

and it still looks like they have a couple of months work or more before it's finished.

I would like to see a Ghost Adventures show taped there, though.

the last day that the station was open was a special open day with access to all areas. even the once hidden underground tunnels were opened up. it all finished early though. it was the day the president's plane crashed.

UK, Ireland / Increasingly more Polish children born and educated in UK can't write/read! [51]

If a "Polish" child was educated solely in the U.K. is it not a failure on the behalf of teachers, like yourself, if they can't read or wright?
Or to at least understand that the parents might not speak Enlgish, to be able to read them books in English?

an echo of the 60's and 70's when asians moved to the uk.

which begs the question: did the brits learn nothing from the past ?

Life / The best English newspapers about Poland? [22]

but surely they could do better.

it's ok as it is, apart from weekend news, which never seems to happen.

i get the idea that it's reporters with time on their hands writing articles for a few extra zl.

it's a good site for those learning english. and it fills a gap for me.

now that it has a facebook page it is possible to comment on the stories.

if anyone from thenews.pl reads this: i'm one of the first 3,000

Genealogy / Help finding info about Naliborski [23]

I found some interesting links explaining it

your first link agrees with me.

i didn't look at the second link

regardless of what i said. it is important that folks delve a little deeper into name changes and not accept a myth or accepted truth.

genealogy is about checking every thing.
