Polish Potty

I arrived in Berlin earlier this morning and am at a computer for the first time.

I had a fun time during my couple of days in Warsaw, I befriended some local uni students whom gave me the 'vip' tour of town. Saw the (rebuilt) old city plus a palace and two parks on the outskirts of Warsaw.

Yesterday in a Warsaw restaurant, I strolled to the bathroom. The door on the left had a circle, the one on the right had an upsides down triangle. I paused and thought about it for a momment. I decided that I had a circle and opened the door to see a woman washing her hands.

In germany, the job hunt is warming up, ever so slightly. Have my first salary offer of DM 75,000 which is about USD$35. That is for a wireless company in Berlin.

Otherwise, will be following up on other leads now that I have internet here.

best, David
