The school trip to Poland was... Poland. It was cold, rainy, and we could barely find a person that spoke German, let alone English! It was pretty entertaining to see Anja speaking English to people and trying to get a response out of the polish people. Everything was closed and even the polish people didn't know why! We were able to see a couple of things, but pretty much everyone wanted to hop back on the train to Berlin once we arrived in Stettin. The border police greeted us as soon as we stepped off the train and immediately asked us for our passports. Harald, from Norway, didn't have his passport. Anja sweet-talked the border guards into letting Harald stay in Stettin. Poland isn't in the EU and so we had to present our passports.
We walked around for a bit and headed towards the castle in Stettin. All of a sudden we saw people in costumes, traditional polish clothing. We decided it would be a good idea, mostly Olivia, to follow the people and see where it would lead us. It lead us to a old person choir competition. It was great! It was probably the highlight of Poland. One choir sang 'Amazing Grace' in Polish! The weather got nicer and we visited the harbor. Poland is the Mexico of Europe!! Everything is so cheap! That was our trip and here's a picture of the group from school who went.
