I booked well in advance and got a first class seat for 79zl. Impressed with the cleanliness and style and the breakfast was good. The fact that I arrived in Zachodnie 12 minutes early seems to indicate plenty of slack in the schedule.<br /><br />Tend to agree that the money would have been better spent on infrastructure improvements.John Saveryhttp://polishrail.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-62826812929493200052015-02-22T19:28:08.095+01:002015-02-22T19:28:08.095+01:00I knew what you meant, but wanted to catch my impr...I knew what you meant, but wanted to catch my impressions during the reading, since for some of your readers, the first impressions might also be the last. And the first comment that sprang up to my mind before I even read the whole paragraph was "Poland went on strike". One day it could be good to ponder upon this split-second reactions. For some reasons some people come up with a witty retort immediately when they are maliciously attacked, while others flush and are left speechless.

When I think back over my 18 years in this country, how bad things were (especially in rail infrastructure), this is success. It's slow, it's patchy - but let's not negate Poland's success. Let it widen and deepen.Michael Dembinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657728002439035765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-18916068965871530262015-02-22T18:35:37.632+01:002015-02-22T18:35:37.632+01:00The last paragraph leaves me with mixed feelings. ...The last paragraph leaves me with mixed feelings. Last week on my blog I complained about fellow colleaugues setting off to grumble when I ask them how they are, so it's reassuring to read an account of someone whose attitude to life is so positive. On the other hand, it smacks of success propaganda... It wouldn't have made such impression, had one sentence (<i>Yesterday was another day when Poland worked</i>) been left out. Not the whole Poland worked, just a fraction of it you had to luck to encounter did work. I was also among those lucky for who everything worked fine, but it wouldn't hurt to think of those worse off.student SGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367244307612092688noreply@blogger.com
