Transport in Musselburgh

As we live in Musselburgh, which is outside Edinburgh we are in the shadow of a capital city. The transport has changed over the years because more and more people are coming to Edinburgh and they might want to stay in a hotel in Musselburgh because Edinburgh is more expensive, so we get a lot of tourists. Two minutes out of Musselburgh there is a train station, which will take you into the heart of Edinburgh. There is also a main airport in Edinburgh, which is useful for people if they want to come to Musselburgh. There is also a good bus service too, where you can get a bus almost anywhere and don’t have to wait that long. There is also quite a lot of traffic in Musselburgh because of the tailbacks on the Edinburgh on the city bypass. Overall there is good transport in Musselburgh and it makes it easy to get into Edinburgh. I think it is good living in the shadow of a capital city.

Back home in Scotland!

Finally we are back home and Philip, Carolyn and I were all really sad to be leaving Poland. It has been a very intense but incredibly interesting visit for us. Poland is very different in some ways from Scotland and other countries in Europe, but there are also many similarities, mainly in the attitudes and ways of young people. It's great to know that the world is not really that small after all!

The Podcast will defintely be broadcast this Monday. It needs some editing as there is new material and cutting to do. I need to go and relax after the long journey but I will leave you with our lasting memory of Warsaw, where we stayed last night.

Many thanks Zabrze for your welcome. A special thanks to your teachers, especially Beata for being an excellent host and showing us all your region has to offer. We'd love to continue hearing from you as you develop your ideas on borders. Perhaps you can post the thoughts that you develop with Martin and Marta from the Katowice film school, and with your Geography teacher Bogusha.

THANKS AGAIN! Do widzjenja!

Walk after Zabrze

Walk after Zabrze

Zabrze isn't  a big town, but that doesn't mean it hasn't anything to offer. In our town You can go swimming to our Public Swimming Pool on Krakowski Square. If you get hungry after it, you can go to one of  town's greatest restaurants, for example: "Sphinx" or "Avangarde". If You like shopping, we got two big shopping centers- "Platan" in city center and "M1" in Maciejów district. There are  lots of shops with clothes, shoes and everything You need. When You have done your shopping you may visit "Multikino"- thirteen cinemas in one! There is very rich choice of films in "Multikino".
You can see there the latest films, or good classic. But that isn't everything. There are also: museum of mining, "Skansen górniczy Luiza", "Gwarek", "Wiatrak" and  lots of pubs and discos. In museum You can see very interesting exhibitions about history of Zabrze and Śląsk. In "Luiza" you may visit one of  mines! You just go underground with guide to see what is it like under the surface. In "Gwarek" you can see cabarets and lots of plays. "Wiatrak" is kind of pub with that difference that there are also some music star's shows. If You are seeking a good pub You should visit "Esencja"- nice and small pub. I think that's all, so as You can see there is a lot of things that You can do in Zabrze.
