Day 3- Blue
Having learnt my lesson and changed into some clean trousers, I avoided oily snacks today. In fact I felt I was starting to get the hang of travelling. The secret to seeing The Brandenberg Gate without all those pesky tourists getting in your photo? Well, er, just go at five in the morning. The sunrise is a bonus.
On board a polish train, I finally began to feel like a foreigner when I noticed that each compartment comes equipped with a fire extinguisher? No, a bottle opener!
Outside green fields continued to flash by, although with fewer wind turbines, punctuated by occasional surprises such as a Twinings Tea factory. The train took me to Warsaw, which might as well be named "Chopinsaw".
So why blue? Well, I then found myself joining in with a peace protest involving loud drums and a hundred blue helium balloons.

| I assume this is the equivalent of a cafe in Edinburgh called HAGGIS |

I believe the café in Edinburgh would have to have the same relevant attached smiley, though attuned to Scotland. Say "HAGGIS :-O" or "HAGGIS >-)"
ReplyDeleteWhat smiley do you think Edinburgh should appropriate?
Yes, I think HAGGIS >-) there is actually a cafe calls HAGGIS across the road from me in Moscow . Maybe it turns out the Russians like haggis better than the Scots?
