Germany to Poznan

Poznan, Poland in winter

Poznan in winter is still a small town. But it’s almost halfway from the German border to Warsaw so it seemed like a good place to stop over for a few days, see how the trains work and cut the trip to Warsaw in half.

Good food Poznan in winter
This was a very delicious pork with potatoes and sauerkraut with cheese on top and a few tomatoes
Ukrainian food Poznan in winter
This was in a Ukrainian restaurant and that shows the different specialties in different parts of Ukraine
Japanese pronunciation Poznan in winter
“Recycling“ in Polish looks like the same pronunciation as Japaneseリサイクリング
Street decoration Poznan in winter
Just some decorations to light up the street
Poké bowl
Hawaiian Poké bowl is now universal but it’s not really poke. It’s kind of like somebody from Vietnam trying to create Japanese food. In Europe Poké bowl seems to be anything that’s in a bowl and on top of rice.
