I don't know where I am. I'm in a business trip to Poland. We must make the vision system for a robot that will automatically pick mushrooms, so we came to a farm in Poland to study how the people who we are going to take their jobs from do that. So far so good, though I don't know where I am. I feel like being in the middle of the woods and that wolves will appear at any minute from the frozen lake in front of the hotel to eat us all.
My mobile phone says I'm in Koczala, that I've heard it sounds like Kochawa, but the hotel is in Dymi, a spa-tourist resort called Aquarius by a frozen lake. Google map say this is here. Not to be mistaken with Dymi 2, the complex of soviet concrete buildings at the entrance of the village painted in sound colors that just remember me the danchi I was living in for 3 years in Japan.
The farm is in a special place, a 450Ha piece of land that once was an old military airport with a 2.5 Km landing airstrip and camouflaged hangars for soviet air fighters, that can be also seen in Google maps. We are staying at a hotel only for us (5 people) which is closed for being out of season. This morning, as a joke, I said to the Greek guy who also participates in the project that this places looked very much like resort in The Shining. He answered "watch the child in the big wheel!". The funny coincidence is that tonight I've seen that child in a big wheel...on TV. I'm watching The Shining in German in a crappy TV set with only channels in Polish and German.
We're gonna stay until Friday. Hope my door will resist the ax!
