Ukrainian football hooligans have warned black and Asian England supporters not to travel to the country for Euro 2012. A Sky Sports News Special Report investigation has discovered that racist thugs in Donetsk will be targeting England fans when the tournament kicks off next month. The report exposes The Donetsk Company as a group motivated by a hatred of foreigners and fuelled by neo-Nazi politics. UK police have already issued a warning to English fans travelling to the event, saying racist Ukrainian football thugs could provide a "flashpoint" for violence. They said English supporters and players were more likely to be on the receiving end of abuse than to be starting trouble themselves.

OK, there's a lot of pizza restaurants in Krakow, but there are some that people won't stop recommending or going back to. At the top of this list must surely be Trzy Papryczki (Three Peppers), which scores equally highly for both food and ambience. The name, according to legend, comes from the three fiery-tongued ladies-in-waiting who accompanied Italian Queen Bona to Krakow in the early 16th century and set up house on Poselska Street.

Preview of Twittg's blog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/twittg/e.europe06/1157645460/tpod.html This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Krakow, Poland Entry Title: "Chapter 9: Lifting the Iron Curtain (Cold Wind)" Entry: "I left Austria with my feet in near mutiny from all the hiking around (my dogs are tired!) and with hopes of finding some sunshine. The month of August had very poor weather. I really haven't had consistently good weather since Turkey (and that was 2 months ago!). Originally, I had planned to go to Slovakia and Poland before Czech Republic, but the side-trip to Munich and the high cost of train travel in Austria made me change plans. Czechoslovakia fell under communist rule post-WWII and most any attempts at resistance or freedom were crushed by the Soviets. Demonstrations and protests spread after the fall of the Berlin Wall (early November 1989) and free elections were held in June 1990, with the Communists not getting many votes. The Czech and Slovak Federated Republic didn't last too long and the countries peacefully separated 31 December 1992. Since then the Czech Republic has been moving towards EU membership, so get here quick before the Euro makes prices rise as high as Western Europe. First stop was Ceske Budejovice. Lonely Planet didn't have any good places listed to stay in and I couldn't find anything online, so I decided to just pass through (I actually decided on this on the train trip there...that's how fixed my plans are). Put my bag into storage then went for a wander. Ceske Budejovice has one of the largest open squares in Europe, Nam Premysla Otakara II. The architecture of the buildings in the square is cool. I looked around the town some more at churches, along the river and any buildings that looked neat. LP said the Budvar (Budweiser) brewery in town had tours at 2pm so I started heading out that way about 1:40pm. The LP map showed it as being 200m north of where its map ended. I walked and walked...at least a half a mile and still no brewery. Eventually I saw it off in the distance and knew there was no chance of making it for the tour (especially since it was now past 2pm). Freakin' LP and their stupid maps. Had a little bit of time to kill before the train so visited an i-net cafe with a very lovely worker. Oy. SMS (txt) Josh and ask what he'd rather do for when he visits - spend a night in Prague or Olomouc. He said he'd like to see Olomouc, so I decided to continue on north to Prague after seeing Ceske. Train to Prague. Found a new hostel in town, Miss Sophie's. It's modern and quite nice, but sterile and boring. Leaving the hostel I could see it was going to be a nice sunset, but the old town and bridge were a good walk away and hunger had the upper hand. Had dinner at a place with traditional food...and it was cheap! Ah, so nice to get cheap food again after Austria. When I stepped out of the restaurant, it was raining so I got fairly wet on my walk to Charles Bridge. The rain stopped just about as I got there. Got some nice night pictures and checked out old town (I've been here before in 2004). The pubs were kind of quiet and I wasn't feeling into the cafe scene so just went back to the hostel. Explored Prague for a day - Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, old town, a market, etc... Prague really is a beautiful city BUT (and this is a big but) it's soooo full of tourists. I would say it spoils the city. I'd only recommend visiting in the off-season. Worked in a nap and a visit to the train station to book a sleeper for my trip to Krakow in a few days. My feet were dang tired so I couldn't muster up the energy for going out. In the morning (Sept 1), I met up with Josh at the train station. He had taken an overnight train from Nijmegen in The Netherlands ..."

Early Morning Take-off from Chopin Warsaw Airport - Wizzair, Airbus A320, 01.07.2013, 05:20am, Flight W6 1311 from Warsaw to Liverpool (John Lennon Airport). Wizz Air Hungary Airlines Ltd. (Hungarian: Wizz Air Hungary Légiközlekedési Kft.) is a Hungarian low-cost airline with its head office on the property of Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport in Budapest. The airline typically uses secondary airports serving many cities across Europe and the Middle East. It has the largest aircraft fleet of all the Hungarian airlines. Wizz Air currently serves 32 countries across Europe and the Middle East, and in the second half of 2013 plans to expand into Dubai, Moldova and Russia. The airline was established in September 2003. The lead investor is Indigo Partners, an American private equity firm specialising in transportation investments. The first flight was made from Katowice on 19 May 2004, 19 days after Poland and Hungary entered the European Union and the single European aviation market. The airline carried 250,000 passengers in its first three and a half months, and almost 1.4 million passengers in the first year of operations. In 2007, Wizz Air carried 2.9 million passengers on its Polish routes. The airline's CEO and chairman is József Váradi, former CEO of Malév Hungarian Airlines. The company is registered in Pest County (Hungary) with operating subsidiaries in Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria. Wizz Air Bulgaria was established in September 2005. Váradi won the Ernst & Young award of the 'Brave Innovator' in 2007. In 2011, Wizz Air carried 11 million passengers (15% more than in 2010), including 4.2 million passengers on Polish routes (only 2% more than in 2010). In recent years Wizz stopped developing its network of connections from Poland and opened new bases in Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Romania, Lithuania and Serbia. However, Poland is still the largest capital market for Wizz Air. Warsaw Chopin Airport (Polish: Lotnisko Chopina w Warszawie) (IATA: WAW, ICAO: EPWA) is an international airport located in the Włochy district of Warsaw, Poland. Poland's busiest airport, Warsaw Chopin handles just under 50% of the country's air passenger traffic. Warsaw Chopin handles approximately 300 scheduled flights daily and an ever rising number of charters. London, Chicago, Frankfurt, Paris, and Amsterdam are the busiest international connections, while Kraków, Wrocław, and Gdańsk are the most popular domestic ones. Formerly Warsaw-Okecie Airport (Port lotniczy Warszawa-Okęcie) or Okecie International Airport, the airport bore the name of its Okęcie neighborhood throughout its history, until its renaming for Polish composer and former Warsaw resident Frédéric Chopin in 2001. Despite the official change, "Okecie" ("Lotnisko Okęcie") remains in popular and industry use, including air traffic and aerodrome references.

Ogród Zoologiczny w Zamościu im. Stefana Milera -jedyny ogród zoologiczny w województwie lubelskim oraz jeden z nielicznych na wschodzie Polski. Mieści się w Zamościu niedaleko Starego Miasta. Ogród ma powierzchnię 13,8 ha z czego obszar przeznaczony dla zwiedzających to 9,5 ha. Zamieszkują go 1484 zwierzęta z 235 gatunków.Obecnie zagospodarowana część ekspozycyjna zoo z budynkami, stawem i wybiegami dla zwierząt, zajmuje większość jego powierzchni po wschodniej stronie. Od niedawna jest tu także część botaniczna poświęcona roślinności (północno-zachodni fragment). W roku 2008 pojawił się projekt znacznej przebudowy ogrodu o nazwie "Kompleksowy plan modernizacji i rozbudowy ZOO", obejmujący modernizację, nowe zagospodarowanie i powstanie wielu nowych obiektów. Już w roku 2009 uzyskano środki finansowe z Norweskiego Mechanizmu Finansowego w ramach opracowanego innego projekt, dzięki którym w zamojskim zoo zrealizowane zostały wybrane fragmenty wspomnianej modernizacji i rozbudowy, w tym m.in. pawilon drapieżników wraz z dużym wybiegiem na zewnątrz czy budynek wejściowy na cele edukacyjne. Ponadto, w 2010 roku miasto otrzymało kolejne wsparcie finansowe z innego źródła (z funduszy europejskich w ramach RPO woj. lubelskiego[3]) na dalsze, szerokiego zakresu prace kontynuujące modernizację (w tym powstanie zupełnie nowych obiektów) zamojskiego zoo, obejmujące m.in. pawilon z małpami i wybieg dla niedźwiedzi.
