| 19th July 2009 Steven T | Snowboarding Zakopane - From: Zakopane - Polish trains, gofry and snowboarding I went snowboarding in Zakopane 3 years ago with 2 of my mates and we had an awesome time. I'm looking to go back there this winter. Last time we went with a British company called "Sunshine World". I'm definitely going to book with them again this time as all their holidays are run by professional English speaking instructors and they look after everything for around £450 each! Zakopane is really cheap and in fact I was really surprised by how good the quality was of what was on offer. I'd recommend to anyone who's looking to learn or improve their snowboarding to go to Zakopane as it's got excellent hills to practice and some really good freestyle board parks too. Steve |
| 26th June 2009 Adam | Good blog - From: Lviv - partisan bar and lovely cemetary I also went to L'viv recently and saw all the sights you mentioned and more. I recommend it for anyone who wants to go off the beaten track. Learn a few words in Ukrainian though. |

| 23rd March 2009 Keith and Pete | hot beer... - From: Zakopane - Polish trains, gofry and snowboarding I agree you with you. Maybe I can say I've had warm beer twice, one glass was my first and last time. |
| 16th March 2009 Mell | - From: Khiva, Arals Sea and the Qalas Thanks Darameja :) I probably will have more questions. |
| 12th March 2009 Darameja | - From: Khiva, Arals Sea and the Qalas Hi Mel. I was studying in Uzbekistan so I had other visa, not tourist. But my friend got the tourist visa without difficulties. About going alone well as long as you dress modestly and dont go out during night time and are in more tourist areas, not too remote, I think it would be OK. They have this issue of quite aggressive attention, but I never did experience anything more than just words and just staring. My fiend did travel in Samarkand and Buchara by herself and she was all ok. On the other hand she did know Russian. But even without it you should be fine, just you may have to pay for taxies more. If you have more questions feel free to ask. |
| 11th March 2009 Mell | - From: Khiva, Arals Sea and the Qalas Hello Darameja :) Uzbekistan is on my list of want to hit countires. I dont know yet when exactly. I have a couple of questions, if you have time to answer them. Was it difficult for you to get your tourist visa? Also, did you see any women travelling alone there? Do you think it would be safe for me to go there alone? Mel |
