THe milk bar are this typical bar in poland.

They are full all day long of student, homelless and stingy french traveler!!!

I give you some tips to know How to recognize a milk bar :

 - no music, a big silence people just come there to eat and that all.not friendly at all cold athmosphere

- the staff is composed of womam (more that 40 years old) they wear blouse like nurses, broken tight

- the decoration is really kitch composed of plastic flower,,,the furnitures chairs and table are blues

- you have three step to eat: first you choose your food and you pay , second step you give your receipt and they give you on the moment the food...you try to take your hot soup till your tasble....and third you put back your dirty dish to the kitchen... as you can guess there s no waitress in this kind fo restaurant

For my last week , I ve been in thre city iN POland; Gdansk, Torun, Warsaw,

I had a night in a bus from VIlnius to Gdansk. Gdansk is a city on the baltic coast the main harbour in poland. This gothic style city is built with bricks. This city is famous for the riot in 1980 at least 40 persons died because they just disagree with the conditions. There, it was born the movement - trade union solidarnost for the sgipyard workers. Lech walessa was the lider of this strike, this simple worker became president of poland afterthat.

IN this last week I use couch surfing website to find host, excellent to be hosted in a different flat every day, plenty of surprise make your trip more authentic and unfforgotable!!!

On wednesday I stay one day in Totun where was born Copernicus this fgamous astronot!! This city is also famous for the giger bread (kind of cookies). It was cool to visit the museum after that to make your own cake, they cook it you get your cake when you leave the museum!!

Cool also to be invited at the grand parents home of a polish friend, ,, so much food,,,they didn t eat with us , they jsut spend their lunch time to serve us traditional polish food.

 Now I got in warsaw by car, I meet my host at 9 pm at the metro station so I enjoy the waiting time to check my mail
