I pushed on regardless and powered through the host of leaflet-ers which<br />

seemed to be growing exponentially on the streets of Warsaw. <strong>The</strong>y mainly<br />

huddled at the entrance/exits of Metro stations but you could find the odd ones<br />

scattered about the streets. <strong>The</strong>y were a depressed and persistent bunch,<br />

thrusting their advertisements into your chest then muttering when you didn’t<br />

take them. Most were advertising English schools, if it happened in England<br />

they’d have been hocking credit cards or more probably debit advice services.<br />

I liked riding the Metro, I had been on the Underground in London and in<br />

Seoul, and while Warsaw’s single line was less impressive it was efficient and<br />

clean. <strong>The</strong>re were usually ample amounts of eye candy to enhance the journey<br />

as well.<br />

I disembarked at Imielin and walked out of the artificial light into the real sun<br />

busting day. Warsaw got a lot more sunshine than I had imagined. <strong>The</strong>y had<br />

some terrible fog as well but even when it snowed the sun shone over Warsaw.<br />

As I tried to find my bearings, spinning round and looking at the ten or twelve<br />

identical tower blocks I realised that I couldn’t even locate his building.<br />

I was getting peckish so I headed to a little ‘delikatesy’ or delicatessen in<br />

English. While I sat there mulling over what to do next I spotted Kins trudging<br />

across a grass embankment with shopping bags weighing him down. I picked up<br />

my coat, dropped down my money and ran after him.
