1 August: the sirens

[Rafal Luzynski]

Hello everybody,

I assume that most of you will arrive to Krakow on 1 August
because this seems to be the most convenient date.  Please
be aware that every year that day at 17:00 (5 pm) the civil
defense sirens are activated for about 1 minute in (probably)
whole Poland.  The aim is to commemorate the anniversary of
the Warsaw Uprising.  That's not a surprise that the special
celebration takes place in Warsaw.  Please don't be alarmed
nor scared, it's not going to announce an air ride nor any other
similar danger.

I hope you'll all have a safe travel to Poland and back home.

Rafal

Oh!  I didn't know this. Thank you! It will be very interesting to be
there when the air raid sirens are on.

Cheers,
Sylvia
