I introduce the journey of the Poland travel.
All journeys that were here were made for myself. To go to the person who
knew only because of the chat to meet, I had some uneasiness. I examined
many because I was not able to meet him in the locale.
Moreover, everything was preserved in the Internet though material in the
journey table etc. was brought. The purpose is to be able to inspect this
with Internet cafe even if they are lost. And, it had to be made English
all. The reason for many of personal computers of Europe is that Japanese
cannot be displayed.
Please see. |

| "About the travel of the train by Polish National Railways (PKP)" |
| |
As for this travel, there were a lot of movements by the train. Going took the train in about seven hours. When the transfer time is included, the journey by trains are ten hours. It is travel that cannot be experienced in Japan. Moreover, how to get the tickets, how to on train, and the common sense are different from Japan in Poland. I did not learn the realities at the investigation before it left. I was going to challenge in the locale.
The foreigner who goes to Poland should prepare the time that can be examined
about the train in the locale. I have not understood everything first at
a central station in Warsaw. However, the following timetable can be fortunately
obtained from the site in a Polish railway. When a Polish railway is privately
used, let's print the timetable and bring it. You do not understand where
to run in the train if there is no timetable.
I publish the site in the railway and the example of the timetable in the
following. Please refer. Because it is not the one at that time, time is
a little different though the example of the timetable is the same as the
journey of my going.

| "About staying" |
| |
It is easy to search for the hotel. It is possible to look for from the
following site. The difficult one is an approach to the hotel on that day.
I reserved only the first night stay from Japan by international phone
calls. The problem is that the person at the hotel cannot speak English.
(depends on my English ability.) A lot of Poles cannot speak English. They
do not know English. The Japanese whose the first foreign language is English
understands English than the Pole. The first foreign language is German
in Poland. English was hardly understood by me in Poland. I was not able
to use Hello and Thanks well.
The telephone of the reservation of this hotel was not able to be spoken
with the first person. She said that she did not understand English. And,
she said that the person who understood English would return soon. I was
able to reserve it by the telephone of the second times. However, I was
able to reserve really or was uneasy. It confirmed it to friend's Zbyszek
by telephone for me. By the way, the hotel more than a middle class can
use English.
Next, it is an approach to the hotel on that day. It is easier than the
reservation. The map can be obtained from the Internet as follows. We can
go to the hotel if there is a map. Moreover, the taxi is also convenient.
However, the taxi of Warsaw is sometimes dangerous. A lot of money is claimed.
You should always watch it. The taxi that hangs to the window and the body
of the car out a big charge table is right. You should avoid the taxi of
the special luxury car.
I took the taxi from the airport to the hotel at the first me. I took the
taxi for about 30 minutes. The charge was ten dollars or less. The taxi
fare of Warsaw is cheap. I rid a streetcar that is called tram from a central
station in Warsaw to the hotel on the last day. When I took the tram, the
outside was pitch-dark. And, it was snowing. However, because I had understood
how to get on and the route of the tram, it was safe. However, the tram
sometimes annoys the foreigner. I introduce it in the diary.
I describe the hotel in which it stayed in the following impression. I
changed staying on the final day to the youth hostel. Because I wanted
to exchange it with the person. |

Route1 : from Warsaw central station, 10 minutes metro or tram, Ruutz off
and 5 minutes walk
Route2 : from airport, 20-30minutes by taxi
*There is no site at the hotel |
(Impression)
The guide chart cannot be obtained because there is no hotel page. The
Warsaw beginner should use the taxi. However, this hotel is not famous.
Let's write the hotel name and the address on paper and pass it to the
cabby. Calling might be also good. If you can take the subway and the tram,
you get off with Ruutz. It is five minutes on foot from there. Let's write
on paper and ask a surrounding person.
The hotel is in the town. Moreover, it is near a Warsaw old town of the
tourist spot. The hotel here seems to be popular among the foreigner. There
is no equipment such as driers because it is not an exclusive hotel. The
room is a room like a usual private house. Moreover, there are neither
a shower nor a bath though there is a washing make-up stand in the room.
The shower on the passage is cooperation and a private room.
As for my impression, I want to stay at another next hotel. hahaha This
hotel is very European. However, I thought that there was a ghost. I will
stay at HOTEL HETMAN next time. |

I do not think that there is a site. |
(Impression)
I wanted to stay once at the youth hostel. Because I can exchange it here
with a lot of people. My room was for four people this time. One person
came from Mexico. One person is the Mexican's friend and Pole. One person
doesn't understand. However, I met the Japanese in this hostel. He is first
Japanese whom I saw in Poland. I talked for a long time with him. And,
we opened one vodka. He was downed until the next daytime of the day. I
introduce it in detail in the diary.
It is unquestionable for my impression even if being stay next time. Of
course, the shower etc. are cooperation. However, it is very clean. The
building is large and is happy. It is crowded and not lonely. We are all
friendship though do not run the word. However, you must not neglect the
management of my things. You should prepare your key.
I might stay here again next time. |

| It is difficult only in this map. The map of the Warsaw city is necessary.
Pay attention to the street name. |

How do you think? We can travel even in the country that doesn't know. Moreover, it is likely to sometimes have a hard time because the independent tour is different from the package tour. However, it is the enjoyment of travel. The hardship will help to know the country there.
However, travel has the rule. We must never jeopardize my neither body
nor things. Moreover, we should have the counter measure of the trouble.
Everyone also must do good travel. For me, the next Poland travel is the
enjoyment. |
