Where ships run on rails
How to connect two lakes with a difference of high up to 100 m by water? In 1844 Georg Steenke did exactly that. The Elblag-Ostroda canal was built with several locks and inclined planes to overcome the difference in elevation. Initially, the canal was used for transportation of agricultural produce and timber, mainly Tabor pine used for building sailing ships.…

Relaxing time in Junoszyno
Yes, we spent the last year at the seaside and in theory, we should have enough of it. However, one of the first places in Poland we decided to go to was the Polish sea. In fact, the sea didn't interest us as much as the forest you have to go through to get to the sea. I love the…

Staying put until further notice
While the whole world was still struggling with Covid-19 here in Da Nang we felt relatively safe. There was no new case registered in Vietnam for 100 days and everything went back to normal. Streets were full of people and food stalls. Every weekend we've seen full busses of local tourists dropped to hotels around our building. Life went on…

When we came to Vietnam we wanted to stay here longer. We wanted to see a bit more of Vietnam, travel around. Then Coronavirus came, quarantine etc and all plans had to be scrapped.

It’s undeniably a huge city with skyscrapers and fancy shopping malls and cars, but you can also find a lot of shacks made of corrugated steel plates and corroded and manually patched cars. After a month…

Scott’s Gardens KL airbnb
We stayed in Scott's Gardens apartment for a month. It is in a very good location between Twin Towers and Sunway Pyramid. Getting around the town was not a problem using Grab. Everywhere was relatively nearby. Location is one of the biggest positives of this place. Another huge one was the view! Amazing huge window with a view!

Kuala Lumpur – Arte+ Airbnb
After the adventures in Bangkok we were a little bit better prepared when we arrived to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. We bought our sim card at the airport, took some cash from ATM there and ordered Grab taxi instead of those waiting already at the airport. This part was surprisingly easy. Getting to our Airbnb not so much... again.

Thailand in the eyes of a grumpy couple
We were there only a month so it's definitely not a complete list of weird and/or annoying things there. We'll surely come back there and update our thoughts about it. For now, though I have a full list of weird, annoying and funny things we found in Thailand in a month we spent there.
