Visit Poland and Switzerland

It has been more than a year since I got the chance to visit Polish world. This was a business trip and I went there to train the new staff and handover the system responsibilities. Warsaw was nice and clean city, I stayed at Continental in hotel which was few minutes away from my work. I also had a chance to visit Germany and Switzerland for only a day or two but I spent most of my two week’s time in Warsaw. During my stay in Warsaw, I enjoyed Swimming – which I don’t know -, Running on trade mill – Yes, 43rd floor motivates you to run – and the delicious food. I don’t remember much, but following is to the best of my memory!

1) First and foremost, every other girl was very attractive including the front end girl at Burger King

2) Warsaw has saved its culture and old beauty in a street called Old Warsaw

3) While taking the photo of tram, I didn’t read the number of tram and eventually took the wrong one.

4) While reserving the train ticket for Germany from Warsaw, old man almost had a fight my colleague for mistakenly breaking the queue.

5) Things weren’t too expensive. I can say that because I got a Nike backpack for US$50 and good T-shirt for US$15

6) In May, Sun rises around 4am and sunsets at 9:30pm, pretty long day and weather is pleasant.

On my way back to Pakistan, I stopped in Zurich, Switzerland for one night, and it was fun. It was also a nice city. I was the last and lucky one to be the last Zurich city tour bus. I took the tour of city and took boat tour of Zurich lake, it was calm and nice. During my tour, I saw a newly wedded couple doing stuff as if there is no home after this tour. I also happen to meet an old man from Hyderabad India who was on world tour and he opted to be with me. We end up having a dinner at Indian restaurant and paid like 40 frank for not so good food. That restaurant was in Food Street where I saw lot of delicious food, I sort of regretted for following that “Babajee”

Overall Euro trip was fun; I am going again this August to Paris and Brussels for an IEEE student congress.
