As of tomorrow bars opened on Polish trains. Posted by Kasia on Aug 31, 2011
Those of you who travelled in Poland by train know, that along with the food you order, you are not allowed to order alcohol. But this is about to change. A communist-era law that prohibits the sale of alcohol on trains will no longer be in effect as of 1 September. From Thursday, travellers will be able…
Tatra Muzeum in Zakopane Posted by Kasia on Aug 30, 2011
What’s so refreshing about a visit to The Tatra Museum (Muzeum Tatrzańskie) in Zakopane, in the southern Tatra Mountains in Poland, is that the artefacts on display don’t belong to some long-past culture or dying traditions. Rather, the exhibits in this splendid building explain a rich local culture that is very much alive on the streets…

How important is music education? Posted by Kasia on Aug 24, 2011
Learning to play a musical instrument offers a lot of benefits. I personally believe that if there’s one thing you should learn in your lifetime, it’s how to play an instrument. You can start as a child, but any age is good to start, even if you are older…It’s never too late! Playing a musical…
