This week, the laundry room got “upgraded”.
Instead of paying a deposit of 10 PLN at the reception desk… getting the laundry room key… washing our clothes… then getting back the deposit…
NOW you need to have coins with you… you ask for the key to laundry room… you put in your clothes… you put 3 PLN coins in some machines that control the electrical power to each washing machine…
& they are supposed to give you electrical power for 90 minutes, afterwards the machine stops.

March 28, 2007 — Andrei NeculauThis very last weekend I went to Krakow again. I came back. I waited for the 57 bus from the train station to the dormitory.
I had no ticket and so I hopped in the bus, and went to the driver to buy one.
A 30 minutes bus is 1.50 PLN.
I told him “jeden studencki bilet… trzydzieści minuty” and put 1 PLN and 50 grosze on the table near him.
He said something in Polish… I acted like I don’t understand.
He was going for his tickets… and I said “pfiu…solved!”.
He gave me back a ticket of 10 minutes and 40 grosze back.
Brilliant!
