2024.11.27 21:49 CharlieTheTraveler Poland in 24 Days

Poland truly is one of Europe’s most rewarding-to-visit destinations. Featuring architecturally stunning and nightlife-filled urban centers and home of a charming countryside dotted with wooden residences and churches, graced with mountains, hills, woodlands, lakes and rivers, and otherwise offering outdoor activities such as kayaking and canoeing, Poland’s attractions are undoubtedly quite diverse.
Continuing to lure the sightseeing type are Krakow, Gdansk, Wroclaw, Torun, Poznan, and Lublin, all of which have either been restored well enough or are in the process of being so.
Devoutly Catholic yet also containing a rich Jewish heritage, Poland also draws in crowds
intrigued by the country’s religious background. This Central European state also appeals to history buffs who wish to explore the many World War II-related monuments and museums. Not least are the Baltic Sea resorts, which are especially popular with families and the youth. Visit a country that is just as culturally rich and fascinating as anywhere in Western Europe but nowhere near as expensive.
Days 1-2: Start your trip to Poland in the resort of Zakopane, which is quite popular for its scenic environs as well as for skiing. 2 days suffice, including the morning arrival from Vysoke Tatry, Slovakia. On the second day make sure to include a visit to the nearby Morskie Oko Lake.
Zakopane is visited by over 2,500,000 tourists a year. In the winter, tourists are drawn to this resort for its excellent conditions for alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and ski jumping. In the summer, tourists come to enjoy hiking, climbing, and spelunking. Many come to experience góral culture, which is rich in its unique styles of food, speech, architecture, music, and costume. Zakopane is especially popular during the winter holidays, which are celebrated in traditional style, with dances, decorated horse-pulled sleighs called kuligs and roast lamb. A popular tourist activity is taking a stroll through the town's most popular street Krupówki. It is lined with stores, restaurants, carnival rides, and performers.
Days 3-6: Take a 2.5-hour bus ride to Krakow. 4 days suffice, including the morning arrival from Zakopane. On day 6, around 2:30 p.m. or so, take a 50-minute bus or train ride to Wieliczka specifically to see the famous salt mine. A few hours suffice.
Boasting a large and ornate open space that is Main Market Square and the grand royal residence area that is Wawel, and otherwise packed with more gothic and renaissance buildings, monumental treasures and artwork collections than anywhere else in the nation, the ancient
capital that is Krakow is of great past and present significance. Traditionally one of the nation’s leading centers of academic, artistic and cultural life, fairly prosperous Krakow continues to be one of Central Europe’s most talked-about destinations.
Unlike most other Polish cities, Krakow escaped most World War II-related damage and there were low levels of postwar construction in its old town. Krakow is Poland’s undisputed showcase city, a colorful place that exudes great ambiance and features several restaurants, cafes, bars, and clubs. Some of the most authentic of these establishments can be found in the city’s narrow alleyways and many cellars. Enjoy Krakow for all that it is worth, for the city is the jewel in Poland's crown.
If Into WWII History: Make a daytrip via a 1.5-hour bus ride to Auschwitz. Half a day suffices.
Auschwitz was a network of German Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps built and operated by the Third Reich in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany during World War II. It consisted of Auschwitz I (the original camp), Auschwitz II–Birkenau (a combination concentration/extermination camp), Auschwitz III–Monowitz (a labor camp to staff an IG Farben factory), and 45 satellite camps.
Days 7-9: Take a 4-hour train ride to Wroclaw. 3 days suffice, including the late afternoon arrival from Krakow.
Architecturally influenced by Bohemians (Czechs), Austrians, and Prussians (Germans) alike, Wroclaw is home of one of the larger and most attractive main squares in Central Europe. Also characterized by its river, islands, bridges, and parks, surprisingly this business-oriented and student-filled city is still an underrated tourist destination. Destroyed in WWII as well as severely flooded in 1997, the capital of the province of Silesia has proven it will not stay down. Considering it has been rebuilt and painstakingly restored many times now, Wroclaw is a place to both enjoy and appreciate.
Day 10: Make a daytrip via a 1.5-hour train ride to Walbrzych specifically to see the Ksiaz Castle. It was built in 1288-1292 under Bolko I the Strict. It lies within a protected area called Książ Landscape Park, overlooks the Pełcznica River and is the city's main tourist attraction.
Days 11-12: Take a 3-hour train ride to Poznan. 2 days suffice, as long as you arrive early- morning from Wroclaw.
Poznan’s Old Market Square, and its immediate environs, are as architecturally eye-catching as Central Europe affords. Although the once-lavish historical buildings and squares further away from the city center are for sure weatherworn, Poznan’s business dynamism is helping fund restoration and beautification projects citywide. Nonetheless, even in its current state, Poznan ranks among the country’s most attractive cities. What’s more, the cultural arts scene and the restaurants, cafes, and nightlife all contribute to an inviting atmosphere. Featuring a rich collection of fairly concentrated monuments, and otherwise home of lots of Polish students who like to party, Poznan is undoubtedly a destination not to miss.
Days 13-14: Take a 2.5-hour train ride to Torun. 2 days suffice, including the afternoon arrival from Poznan.
Boasting monumental churches, numerous military structures and residences that are all composed of brick, after Krakow it is Torun that features the most medieval architecture in all of Poland. Like Krakow, Torun escaped most World War I and World War II-related damage and there were low levels of postwar construction in its old town, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Having undergone major renovation and beautification over the years, the old town is most charming at night when several monuments are illuminated. This is when culture and ambiance present themselves best in Torun, complimented by sociable restaurants and bars as well as by music venues, especially frequented by the town’s sizeable student population.
Birthplace of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, home of some of the tastiest gingerbread on earth, and otherwise ranked by domestic and international surveyors alike as a relatively inviting place for both doing business and for living, the town of Torun is a popular destination for good reason.
Days 15-17: Take a 3-hour train ride to Gdansk. 3 days suffice, including the afternoon arrival from Torun. On day 18, around 2:00pm or so, take a 40-minute train ride to Malbork specifically to see the castle. A few hours to visit it suffices.
Characterized by tall, elegant, and distinctive merchant homes that line relatively long pedestrian streets, and graced with historical treasures such as the town hall building, churches, and gates as well as narrow backstreets, Gdansk is undoubtedly one of the country’s most colorful and vibrant cities. Activities such as cruising along the medieval port and mingling at a dockside beer garden are great pastimes in what is the most popular tourist destination in northern Poland.
Gdansk was once a key member of the Hanseatic League due to its still-important seaport in the Baltic Sea. The city was heavily damaged during World War II. Although rebuilt from rumbles, Poland’s communist era suppressed Gdansk in many ways. This eventually led to the city’s Solidarity movement, which helped bring democracy to the country as a whole. Today northern Poland’s economic center has been painstakingly restored and is filled with businesses, shops, cafes, and restaurants. Gdansk once again is the architectural jewel it was always meant to be.
Days 18-21: Take a 3-hour train ride to Warsaw. 4 days should suffice, including the early morning arrival from Gdansk. Tourists typically do not stay for long, as many think the main square and the nightlife scene are the only draws to this up-and-coming modern city. They are wrong! Warsaw has as much to see as does Krakow.
Apart from the Warsaw Old Town quarter, reconstructed after World War II, each borough has something to offer. Among the most notable landmarks of the Old Town are the Royal Castle, King Sigismund's Column, Market Square, and the Barbican. Further south is the so-called Royal Route, with many classicist palaces, the Presidential Palace and the University of Warsaw campus. Not least is the Wilanów Palace, the former royal residence of King John III Sobieski. It is notable for its baroque architecture and parks.
Days 22-24: Take a 2.5-hour train ride to Lublin. 3 days suffice, including the morning arrival from Warsaw. On day 23, around 2:00pm or so, as a daytrip take a 1-hour bus ride to Kazimierz Dolny. 2.5 hours suffice in this village.
Featuring an imposing castle, eye-catching gates, colorful and vibrant squares, decorative churches, historic mansions, narrow and stone-paved alleyways, several theaters and museums, and a rich Jewish heritage, eastern Poland’s largest city can be justifiably described as an
“undiscovered little Krakow.” Yes, restoration and beautification efforts must continue. However, even taken as is, Lublin ranks among the country’s most attractive destinations. Further, the city is home of a sizeable student population that fills the restaurants, cafes, bars, and clubs. Even though not yet on the beaten path, this Jewel of the East merits a visit.

2024.11.27 21:49 toolworker Fingerprint Reader Slowly Forgets - Book2 Pro 360

My Book2 Pro 360 has no problem memorizing fingerprints. But after a few days it slowly forgets them.
It helps to leave the finger on the sensor for a few seconds, but eventually it stops working. So I memorize four fingers, and when one stops working I go to the next one. LRR.
Does this happen to anyone else? Suggestions appreciated.

So I (22F) posted a few picture on ig after the gym. Nothing crazy provocative or anything. My ex (22M) liked the post. We broke up in late August since it was sort of long distance(1 hr away) and we didn’t see it each other too often but we spoke on the phone almost daily. We ended the relationship on decent terms. We don’t hate each other or anything like that just we mind our own business. I never liked his posts since then. What does it mean that he’s liked my post?
