I went on the Guinness Brewery tour today and learned a few things...
Roasted barley tastes like coffee beans. Sorta.
I had no idea that the world record book was the same Guinness. Apparently, it was started on the premise that these kinds of questions come up often in pubs (what's the fastest game bird, for example) and the book could help bar keepers to prevent brawls.
And I learned that I can't handle one pint of beer on an empty stomach very well. At least not without friends around. Tipsy by yourself isn't that much fun.
So, yeah. Off to Krakow tomorrow, to a land where three złoty equal one dollar and hostels cost 15 of 'em a night. Oh yeah!
You're still doing the math, I know you are. Hee.
TTYL.

Not me. Without pausing to calculate, I had figured out that it was five dollars by the time I read the allegation that we're still doing the math.
If possible, will you bring me 3 zlotys. Will you be visiting family in Poland. My father's parents came from Sikory-Pawlowienta and Kobylin-Krusewo and my mother's parents came from Oboz Lipno and Bartoldy. I have no idea where any of those towns are or even if they still exist.
Have fun...I'm so very proud of you.
Cobbler: I'm so proud of you. And I'm glad you had to defend your online honor by commenting. :) j/k

I've got an anonymous Grandma. I promise to send you mail from Poland!
But I don't have any plans to visit family. I spent too much time trying to track down the family in Ireland and that all-illusive "Schloeder Castle".
Love you!
So what you'll do for your Irish relatives you won't do for your Polish relatives??
I'm more than twice more Irish than I am Polish.
Interesting things to know. BTW, I am now following your updates on Twitter. And I'm finding the process rather enjoyable myself. :)
