Rico 210 Posted January 11, 2005 (edited) I take your kidding about learning Polish then, or do i really need to learn it.Terry <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Terry, I always think it is more polite to go to a foreign country and know a little bit of the language, even it is just to say thanks, please, yes and no for example. Helpful couple of websites to give you a taster of Polish. BBC Languages - Comes with some audio on the basic phrases Single Serving - handy little website for going on tour. You even get taught how to swear like a native I found almost all of the people involved in restaurants/hotels spoke at least a little English. Apologies if I made you panic Terry ! The only time I've encountered difficulties in the past has been when booking train tickets but if I'm not sure I just make sure I've got the phrase I want written down in advance. Rough Guide does a very handy little phrasebook if you do feel inclined to try a little. Given the difficulty in pronouncing polish words correctly (from English being first language) it has phonetic pronounciation which comes in handy.

Mad Mitch 2 Posted January 12, 2005 We went to Wroclaw for the World under 21 Final in September. Regular tram journies to the gates of the park takes about 20mins from cc. The Box office is at the entrance to the park. on practice day (fri) we collected our tickets there which were prepaid online. When you see the price of a programme in Poland you,l probably buy 10! From there its a fair walk into the middle of the park to the "Olympic" Stadium (1936) ? We were pretty close to the starting gates but I got the impression we would have got a good view anywhere. Immediately next to the stadium there were plenty kiosks for grub, beer, coffee,souveniers &etc. The toilets were clean & convenient, always keep some coins back for the ladies who keep them so well. Last tram to cc is about 1120pm but don,t leave it till then. Polish beer is a fair bit stronger than German Pils and thats b4 u start on their Wodka. If you take it easy you,l remember some of the speedway. I,m sorry to say I dont know a word of Polish, spoke the Scottish version of english ? but we were 2 weeks there and are going back again this year. Great country Great people Great SPEEDWAY PS Didnt have any problems till we got to Prague ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PolskiZuzel 329 Posted January 17, 2005 There is is a goods news for those travelling to The Wroclaw's Grand Prix on Saturday April, 30. Ryanair have recently announced that from March 24th they are opening cheap flights between London Stanstead and the GP venue. So anyone planning to go there should visit www.ryanair.com and book their tickets. Apparently there is flight on Saturday 30th April, leaving Stanstead at 12:05 and arriving at Wroclaw at 15:10 (just in time for the tapes up). If in a hurry, you can be back at Stanstead by next day at 16:50. The return trip should not cost you more that 75.00 British Pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
