Skyways and other stuff...

Interesting thing about Minneapolis is that most of the offices, shops and hotels are connected with skyways - glass tunnels above the ground - which You can use to navigate from one building to another - even avoiding going outside sometimes. From first sight - it's a bit confusing, because You might not know what building You are in or how to get there from outside.

Other "good" thing about America is that meal is pretty cheap here but You get very large portions. So for those who are not used in eating a lot and also are not used to leaving food in the plate - this might not be that good news.

It's a long long way...



2 and half hours of initial sleep, 1 and a half hours trip by taxi (no sleep), 1.5 hours flight by plain (no sleep), 6 hours of waiting in Warsawa Chopin airport - no sleep ..., 9.5 hours of flight - I remember there few tries to close my eyes, but after losing of sense of time tracking, I can't really say for how long I managed to do this, then 5 hours of waiting in Chicago O'Hare airport - no sleep, 1.5 hours of flight to final destination - Minneapolis - finally, I waited till the plane took off - I really like this moment, couldn't skipit, I think I managed to sleep there for 1 hour or a bit more. Practically, I turned off. The view from the window - only in the last part of trip I got seat near it - was not very promissing - it started to rain, dark clouds and it was already getting dark - almost 100% chances to miss nothing.

And as I write this - of course I have slept for a bit longer now. Funny thing, that the change of time zones, hasn't affected me ... yet. Of course it's 10.30 am - whole day awaiting for me:)

Do not anchor here

You never know when You can bump into unusual things just right near you. For example this road sign.

Not quite road sign, more like river one.
