Poland

I will be returning to Poland in April, before going on to Sweden. I will certainly be doing a signing in Warsaw. There will probably be a signing in another city as well.

I was there about 4 years ago, and did signings in 6 cities. The people there are wonderful, and I look forward to going back.

Sensei, do you think you've got time to take a trip to Berlin (either between Poland and Sweden, before or afterwards)?
I could try to beat the drum here and convince my favorite comic shop into inviting you for a signing here as well...

I know, your schedule for that time is pretty tight, but then again, asking does not hurt....

I won't be able to make it this time.

I would like to visit Berlin, and all of Germany, one day. Perhaps with a side trip to Prague in the Czech Republic.

Oh, well...

But thank you for your quick answer, anyway.

Dear Sensei,
do you have any schedule for Poland already? A friend of mine is thinking about going to Poland for that ocassion...

Well, and I'm thinking about going there, too, if my schedule allows...

Szczecin, to name a town at random, is just a two-hour-drive away from Berlin.

I will only have time to for signings in two cities. I will go to Warsaw for sure. The other city I would like to go to is Krakow. It is a beautiful city. I was there three or four years ago.

Yes, I will be doing a signing somewhere in Warsaw on April 21, and in Krakow on April 22. I will post details as I learn them.

Mother of Mountains was just published in Poland.

If not Krakow, I would have gone to Szcecin. I heard it is a beautiful city. From there I would have taken the prom ship to Stockholm. Perhaps I will visit Szcecin the next time I am in Poland.

Egmont Poland will let me know my schedule around mid-March. When I find out, I will post it here.

I will gladly sign your books. The store may place a limit on the number of books I sign if there is a line of people, though.

As it says, information will be posted the latter half of March, in a couple of weeks.

I may also go to Katowice.

The only UY hardcover books are the US (English language) ones and the Croatian editions. I can bring one of the Dark Horse US editions if you like. I don't know what the current exchange rate is with the US dollars and your PLN, but the dollar is very weak right now.

for now 1$=2,30 pln

i have to make plan first. I dont know if i will be able to go, i have to talk with other polish uy fans, so if i couldnt go (math exams :/ but maybe i figure it out) someone will buy it for me maybe.

ok, im waiting for more info to come.
