In a train

Intercity train from Berlin to Warsaw. A young girl enters our compartment, when she realizes that it's not her train it's to late. She starts to cry. She has no money for extra tickets.
Ticket inpector has no idea how to help her. He has no timetable, no terminal to check the schedule. Someone in the compartment takes his netbook, connects to the internet via gsm network and finds solution. Ticket inspector allows her to travel wihout valid ticket for the next 150 kilometers. He has no technical possibility to help her, but his feelings and tears of the girl seem to more important to him than company procedures.

Something About Poland

Poland, although has been in European Union for since 2004 is still considered by some foreigners as Wild East. For some reasons - it is Wild East. We are just different to the Wild West... But sometimes some people when ask strange guestions to me: Do you have withdrawal machines? Are there bears on the streets? Do you have -50 C only in winter or during the whole year? Well...it's not so bad ;-)
