Torun

Wouldn't say they where to impressed with Galway........

Went with the missus irishmufc....it's was quiet the Friday night but the sat night was as good as any night here.during the day we rambled around the place and found a massive shopping Center that you,d spend a week in.like most of the places in Poland it's grand for 2/3 days but that's it,but I did find poznan much cheaper than it was in the euros and that alone would temp ya back.

Don't get the special bond thing with polish people either.....If qualify for the next euros people will be going on about the same 'bond' with that countries people,so it's all bollocks.saying that I've been back to poznan and had a decent rip....I wouldn't paint it the way it was in the euros as it was a totally different place.

It does to me

I suppose it does sound daft when you think about it. True to form Deise I was in the middle of this irrelevent pint pricing

Because they're pissheads like us. Can't believe the amount of straight vodka they can drink and they seemed to like our humour I thought (or maybe were laughing out of politeness)

Tbh BSM it was the our first tournament in 10 years we qualified for. Alot of us weren't at the previous world cup. prices in general were cheap meaning it was more affordable for people to stay the two weeks maybe as opposed to the tournament being in a more expensive country. Alot of us were taken by surprise how easy the polish women were to pull (even for gingers like myself) as they usually have borfriends over here and i think a good few of us were surprised how friendly they were. I heard a few horror stories how they wouldn't like the irish due to their relations being treated bad by irish builders which was absolute bollix so all in all a good show all round. Torun is nice and probably gets too much praise. Galway has the same laid back atmosphere and is every bit as nice as Torun imo and equally good for women. It was the atmosphere Torun generated that made people like it away from the madness of gdansk and poznan
