So to finish up the day from Friday and after I missed the train...

I stood at the platform for about a minute. I spun around in my head the options, there being not too many, and I kept going back to how the taxi driver could've been wrong -- he had looked at my ticket and said it would leave at 14.04, why did it leave at 14.00??



Then it dawned on me.



14.04 ≠ 4 minutes after 2 pm

14.04 = 14th of April


Why do I always get the illiterate taxi drivers.

Anywho. I was kicking myself. But looking on the bright side... oh, there was none.
I had to go back and buy yet ANOTHER ticket, this time paying the penalty and a new reservation fee.

No mockery
Sorry if the previous comment wasn't flattering. I'm sure many of us would have done the same thing. No use pouting about it. Keep your head up and nose above water! The pictures of the food looks tasty, yep even the Chinese dim sum.

Polska - kraina tępych taksówkarzy
Zaiste, cóż za geniusz z tego taksówkarza! Co zrobić -jak to mawiacie - shit happens! Ale przynajmniej już wiesz, że jeśli chcesz coś zrobić dobrze, musisz zrobić to sama. Nie pozostaje Ci, więc nic innego, niż nauczyć się polskiego! I think any english spoken foreginer, who tries to learn polish (quite complicated language) deserves respect. I've just started to learn "khmer" language ("khmerish" "cambodian" ? ;-), so I know what you feel. Good luck!

Thanks!
I can't make out all of what you wrote (the parts that are in Polish), but I recognize the word "dobrze" so I'm happy. ;-)

To bardzo dobrze, że rozumiesz słowo "dobrze" ;-) Jak dobrze pójdzie, to w przyszłości z Twoim polskim będzie już tylko dobrze, a przy naprawdę dobrych wiatrach, może nawet lepiej niż dobrze ! Dobrze Ci życząc - pozdrawiam! Dobranoc! Well, just try to read it again - in few months time ;-)
