Zakopane (9-11 Mar 07)

Zakopane, one of the most popular ski resorts in Poland. Its the first time that im skiing on real snow so i was really excited to go. Heres the 4 of us ... packed and all ready to go.

Serene, Emily, Jace and Elayne

Our hostel is situated at the foot of the mountain. Here are some pictures of the view ourside our hostel.




Well, as beginners on the ski slope we were definitely brave and too much of a HERO to try those steep slopes. After skiing for a few hours, something really unfortunate happened. I fell off the slope- did a little somersault with a cross over my legs and finally ended flat on the snow. The pain was intense and i cant even move an inch off the ski slope. Someone from the rescue team has to come and fetch me down the slope using some a motorbike looking vehicle. Although such accidents happened but i never regret going to Zakopane, at least i get to try skiing! Peter (polish coordinator) brought me to the hospital in the town and they did some xray scans on me. Before the scans, they wanted me to strip off my trousers if not they are going to cut it! There were no changing rooms or curtains in the examination rooms.... so you can imagine how embarassed i was! There were no form of communications from me to the doctors and nurses- (i think they refuse to speak english to me) so I do not have a clear idea of what exactly happened to my knees but anyhow i feel much better after the cast.

My Cast!

Our "First Class" Seats... (my buddy and Elayne)


Ok... enough of me talking about all these loser incidents. Actually its really fun to ski and i thought i was quite ok as a beginner. Well, i did took some very "seh" pictures.. but its all in Elayne's camera... So ELAYNE.. come on send me some pics! So keep watching this space and i will show you some pics of me skiing.

Yet another experience in Poland!
