Gdansk Day 6
Generally for bottle with 1 hole is Salt & 3 holes is Pepper.
Well here in Gdansk, in this hotel that i'm staying at, the holes are opposite.
1 hole is pepper & 3 holes is Salt.
Why i mention the above? That's because on the very first day of breakfast, first time in my whole life, i had pepper with orange juice.
Left is Salt & Right is Pepper
Went Old Town again for a walk again with more pictures of sceneries.
Famous Statue of Gdansk Old Town
What a BIG advertisement for Martini
What a beautiful X'mas decor for this store
Look at the sleazy shop names
Bought my favourite instant noodle at this Supermarket, cheapest i can find in the whole of Old Town costing $1.19 per pack
A whole stretch of Florist
Police Van
Don't you think this can looks cute & cool? Wonder if the owner is a big size or small size guy. I notice that all the big size 'Ang Moh' here likes to drive small & mini car.
The only Vegetarian Cafe which i can find along the streets of Old Town, guess its newly open as during my last trip here, this cafe doesn't exist yet.
On my way back, happen to see this interesting shop that actually sell very LONG hotdogs.
Suddenly heard alot of shouting ahead & see alot of people crowding there. Thought what happen, was abit scare to move on forward as thought it might be some Street Riot or Fighting going on as saw alot of police too. In the end, i was too busybody & curious so went up to see. I guess it's actually those street parade to Advance celebrate Christmas as i saw alot of people all dressed in Santa Claus costumes & riding on bikes, some even drove. As they drove passed along the street, they were waving to the crowds along both side of the street & sounding their hons like nobody's business. First time experience such event, can be quite scary heehee
Also because i was busy shooting the video of this street parade among the crowd, in the end i lost one side of my glove & my handphone pouch :(
Street Parade
This small ship is one of the transport that ferry people from one end of the river to the other & the fare is $1.00. Alternatively, you can choose to walk along the bridge to cross over too but quite a distance.
Was craving for potatoes so walked to the other side of the street to see if i can find any. After a long search, finally decided to stop by this restaurant & buy a set of baked potatoes as takeaway for lunch before i head back to the hotel. 
Restaurant where i bought my baked potatoes costing me $6.00 for a box
My Lunch. "Tyskie" is the local polish beer here, not bad!
Overall this place is quite okay after my 2nd visit but one thing not good is serious Noise Pollution. Over here, every few minutes you can hear siren.....which can be quite irritating at times.
