Skierniewi(e)ce:)

There's nothing special about my hometown apart from the fact that it's my hometown. We used to be one of the famous 49 voivodeships but since the new administrative division was established Skierniewice has been a part of Lodz province because Warsaw didn't want us:( But actually we didn't want Warsaw, either.

People usually think that Skierniewice lies somewhere in Silesia and frequently misspell its name. On both of my new electronic student's IDs it's either Skierniewiece or Skierniewicze. I was promised to get a new one. And indeed I got. With another spelling mistake:)

I used to think that once I fled from Skierniewice a few years ago I would never come back there but things have changed recently and soon after graduation I want to go back to "Skierki". It may be small and boring, with only one cinema, three bus lines, no challenging work for an English teacher, yet there is something exceptional about this town, something that only a handful of people can understand. Family? Memories? Lost youth? I don't know. But I am going back. Want to join me? You are most welcome.
(Unfortunatelly, there is only one direct rail connection between Poznan and Skierniewice late at night but the railway station is worth seeing anyway:)
