Watch out there is an Aussie near . . .

You're planning to come to Poland too? Any ideas about what you'd like to see?

 

Yes I am planning on Poland as well. The only place I have planned for Poland so far is a small town called 'Brody'. Chasing family history and all. . .I have not planned much other then that. . . I am pretty much, get there and see type of person. . .I know the rest of the world is not quite like that.

Well, for the past few weeks, life got really hectic and plans where changed. I left one job and now have another one. I am not to sure (yet) on what type of hoildays I can get while at this job. but I am sure to work that out shortly.

I leave this new job in Jan next year (if all goes well) and so then I would do some touring in Feb 09 (and thats not the best time to see the northern hemisphere) Hopefully I can see a lot of that before that time.

I have two weeks of now. . but its not fair, and probly to hard to orgnise something with other country's (beyond England). At the moment I have it as I will see most of England this comning week (Mon 18th - mon 25th) and Isle of Man for a week (25-3rd March) but if I could get somewhere in that week, it would be much better.

Any inconvenience caused is payed back with cute little Australian Animals. . .

 

If you're going to be around Salisbury this next week, send me a PM or something. It'd be cool to meet up

 

HI, Sorry for not being here, I have orgnised my life now. . well, this week anyhow. . .

This is my pencil out line for my life at the moment, so . . .what do ya think?

 

well I am trying to see half the world in 6 weeks, and they are only rough dates. . .when i orgsines dates and metting people then I can move these dates. . .

When i finsh work and when I fly home are the only set dates.

 

Yeah, most backpakers are okay with yo just coming in for the night.
I few places i\ hope to stay with people. \but you have to be flexible to be able to deal with the unexpected.

 

Well, that it is going ahead! I fly on on the 16th of Nov.
Those dates are pretty much what I will try and work to, but I will try adn get at least 4 days in each country.

I am taking the train around, and I hope to meet up with as many Star Wars Fan Forces as possible! and I am SO looking forward to it all, and I am going to be so tired by the end of in it, I will just sleep on the plane all da way home! I am kinda nervous, as I dont speak or read anything but english. (I know the tiniest bit of french,) So I am not sure how I am gonna get around in non-english conuntrys with out making a complete fool of my self.

 

Yes! Totaly, I have it book in! Now I just have to confime it you with guys? can we do a meet?

 

Well, I posted a thread in each Country, so I hope to talk more in them. I am kinda nervous because, I posted in english nad I didnt really want to use a translation site, cuase I know how funny it is to just translate from English, to something and then back, its almost un-readable and funny! So I am not sure. . .and I was looking at a map of europe and relised that it would be better to go to Germany after France cause of the way its situated. . .so. . .

Which part of Poland are you going to see? Because you know, the eastern half is already in the Belarussian area of influence (at least that's what we in the civilized west believe ). As long as you're reasonable and choose to stay in the more beautiful and cleaner part, I can lend you a hand. I strongly advise seeing Wroclaw and Gdansk.

Also, where's the village you're going to visit? Brody is a pretty common name, every region has one or two of them

 

Other then to find my family heritage, I have no real idea on what to see or Do in Poland. . .like so many of the other places I intent to visit. I am trying to find out from Locals whats good, and then work in touristy things after that in time I have left. I would love to come and visit, *makes note to visit Wroclaw and Gdansk*

Its near the bottom east(?) of Poland, its near Germany. I will see if I can get the other name, or the names of the people I am looking for from mum. (She did the family history)

 

If it's close to Germany, it's got to be in the West

 

well east is west and north is south. I had perfect deriction in Australia, now I am totally lost.

 

This is what is says in the family history Book? He came form. . .

Grossvlumberg Krossen, Oder River,
In the Provens of Mark Brandenberg, Prussia 11 Nov 1835

It was changed to
Brody, Ordzanskie Poland in 1949.
