Bloggers Live on Miodowa Street

Posted by Amanda Kendle Jun 2, 2007

Someone recently emailed me a link to a great blog about ex-pat life and travels in Poland, called Miodowa. This word is actually the name of the street where Jeff and Lauren live in Warsaw while they spend their year in Poland.

As well as being busy teaching, they seem to fit in plenty of side trips. Reading their blog, you'll find interesting anecdotes on daily life in Poland - like learning how an extremely Catholic population celebrates Easter - and their own amusing tales of what goes wrong (and sometimes right) on their weekend explorations of Poland and surrounding countries.

A highlight for me is their tale of a trip to the Tatra mountains which are on ehte border between Slovakia and Poland. They, like me, stayed in the resort village of Zakopane on the Polish side, and then headed down to Poprad on the Slovak side. That was, in fact, my first taste of Slovakia when I was enroute to living in Bratislava.

And also like me, Jeff and Lauren have decided that their favourite Polish city is Krakow. It's such a liveable, pretty city, full of culture and history, and you can't help but love it. Unfortunately, Jeff and Lauren are leaving Poland soon, but have promised to be doing lots of travelling during their last weeks, so check their blog for regular updates and photographs.
