i'll certainly check them later.

none of those. sorry, i won't give a direct answer.

extra info: the tram is a number 6. this type of tram only uses this route. also, the building is number 1, plac bema and home to google among others.

the bottom picture shows the only building on wyspa slodowa. a little noisy when there is a concert on the island, but those who live there get free tickets.

because i know exactly where u stood, it's like i can walk in your footsteps.
