September 8th morning on my way to Dubai. Warsaw. Poland.

Philosophical approach: Dubai is not my destination. Why? Every time I have to go there happens something strange, stupid, unexpected that seems ‘m the biggest looser, or just some circumstances are protecting me from Dubai. But me wouldn’t be me if I would give up so easily!

Realistic approach: Poland is ignorant towards their neighboring country Lithuania. Why?

1. Warsaw airport you cannot exchange Litas to any other currency. Although you can exchange Estonian krons and Latvian lats…
2. Warsaw city center, national bank you cannot exchange Lithuanian currency.
3. Desperate call to Lithuanian embassy in Warsaw. Advice – go to commerce bank
4. Commerce bank does not exchange litas!!!!
5. Eureka!!! Some kind of 24 hours open Lombard –you can exchange LITAS!

Self – criticism approach: Loser! Why can’t you exchange your currency on the border?????

Moral of the story: always prepare for your trip in advance!

p.s. thanks for the taxi driver named X who helped me around (but gosh he was expensive!!!!)
