Wednesday, March 29, 2006
mummy please don't flip if you read this but as you know i'm already safe and sound in warsaw with cora~ ;p
well kinda started my pre-poland adventure even before jetting off from Frankfurt Hahn contributed by multiple reasons which miraciously happened to the same unfortunate soul on the same day..
1. heavy downpour after 3 days of sunshine..
2. vague location of bus stand
3. inconspicuous backpack hidden behind kids in the bus stand
4. no one speaks english
5. bus only arrives every 5 hours in ulu town
6. no idea where ulu airport is
7. not enough gas in the car
8. no credits left in handphone
9. german-only website to top up my card
10. no password to access profile
last but not least..
11. the damned computer can only open ONE window a time...

===============================
haa..finally got into the mood of posting (above) whilst I was in Warsaw like 6 days ago..when the connection kinda failed on me..hee once again Murphy's doing this thing..so anyways being the lazy blogger as always..shall let the pics do the talking~ ;p and just add some captions here and there~
nice Dominika helped me figure ard at the ulu katowice airport..;p
got a shuttle to Krakow..crumbly van with a jolly driver who turned out to know Leszek too! finally got to the main bus station 2 hours later..but had to figure a way to DizzyDaisies hostel..*hee* cute ditsy name..;p..alas..ran out of small change and had to wait for maresa to pick me up after her shower..;p thanks babe!!cora came up to meet us the next morning..poor dear had to crawl to the freezing train station at 6am! Gen-kueh-eh girl!!! hee pic taken on the next day and she still looks so tired..;p the other pic's of us before Auschwitz..sigh..
the trip to Auschwitz kinda made me realise how ignorant ppl can be..how possibly skewed our perceptions mayb be simply based on the kind of information we gather or are allowed to gather/exposed to..it's amazing how such cruelty and atrocities can be so well concealed that even the victims themselves could fall for it..or maybe they didn't have a choice..cos their fate's sealed even before they knew it..months before..but..I probably still don't understand enough to comment much..to understand why and all..so..maybe later after I finish Mein Kampf...
the walls of Auschwitz, "Arbeit Macht Frei", where work makes freedom, the beautiful lie that greeted the Jews on this death track..a death trap maybe? *sigh*
..maybe cos the whole tour kinda killed out appetites for 6 hours..we kinda pigged for dinner..well last chance for Maresa and Xiaoyu to taste authentic and yummy Polish food and my first shot at it..was a nice nice meal..;p
ok will publish more in the next one cos Alvin has my hard disk now..hee meanwhile..enjoy the pics!
