How I bought Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year Old.


I was thinking about Szczecin to which I didn’t come because I didn’t get respond about housing while the main factor of rejection was in learning streets. A town contains a lot of communistic what caused born abysmal from me. Szczecin is a little city, which touches border with Germany was why I wanted to arrive to there. I wanted to be closer to the West. However, I reached Poznan. I thought when I already was on Polish territory that, maybe, August 10, 2023 is a day when I became a free man. Since that I only know that I have no mystery for disclosure and I returned to my intention to be King of Montana.


I was looking for map of Poznan, which was one of the last in many maps discovered for my three travelling. I was amazed by that. Maps with cities were returning me. It was Italy mostly. It was one of countries in which I would like to live. Then I thought that I couldn’t stand there due to heat. I am a winter man. The last visiting revealed known that I can instantly adapt to any condition, but I saw it can be that what contradictive to me. I could adapt to heat. But I have a thing, which I willn’t stand. Certainly, about drivers and human culture there. I learned that Italians don’t fight against machines. They wait instead move forward. I forcefully stopped car movement in Massa when I almost returned to train station. A car screamed in anger after I was on an other side of a road. Oh, these Italian songs giving beautiful imagination on Italy. Though it’s indeed in reality, but not credible. I can’t be in comfort if I must fight on crossroad. I know without reading that village South supposed to be more aggressive in drivers. A lot songs about Naples and personal category calls Neapolitan. Of course, a lot of lovely and special in Naples as citizens say that living close to each other creates coziness, which hardly find in the world. I have reasons to visit this part of country. However, I see that it will one more and the last time. I wrote a lot of contradictive with this and I returned. When I was in first day in Marina di Pietrasanta, I visited local shop in which I bought fruits. Their divine juicy on taste. I ate a little piece and slowly chewing for keeping it’s ethereal taste. It was associative with tropic islands on which I wasn’t, not big liker whereas I know that I don’t make wrong in comparison. Undeniably, Italy is always with me, but I can’t stand savageness despite warm memories in the end. I wanted to learn Italian language, but I see that I haven’t necessity. I like that I’m not known person, because I can see reality while popularity would cover it. I haven’t filming crew. Locals can smile and be friendly on camera while it can’t be true in reality. It was to the best that I haven’t driving license. I experienced Italy by train what made significant learning about country and I had enough with that. The last trip, if I’ll come with intention, will occur by a car.


I arrived with thought to install myself and start my journey to the West. I already forgot that I had past. People who changed country can feel after two years or more that they never left a place to where they arrived time ago. Poznan is lovable town, which history takes breath away. That’s not only in center. It’s pretty past everywhere. No one exceptional graffiti could changed that mind. It’s kind town. Cars stop before you did step on crossroad. Bicycle riders demonstrate correctness. It is that what defines a “civilization”.

Meantime in these days, I talked with my friend Philipp who lives in Saint-Petersburg and finds it as a cultural town while I didn’t see that element in locals. It was long ago since we speak with each other. We even didn’t have electronic conversation. Married people usually miss in action. You don’t hear them anymore after wedding. Circumstances resumed my contact with Philipp. He with his German wife stopped in Naples. My friend told me, and I believe to him, that drivers in Naples more worst then in Rome. They drive as they wish and same do pedestrians. I heard what expected to be logical in village Italy.


There is no a piece of cake in finding room and job in Poznan. Programmers and builders are only in requirement, the rest is slayer offer for ten-twelve hours in six-day schedule. I thought that I can handle with that by having local contact who lives for long while about room I eventually made deal after long searching. These Polaks sold it to other person before I reached Poznan. I instantly chose hotel Focus Hotel Poznan on two nights.


In these followed two days, I wanted to do my usual thing as lying on a bed and drink champagne. Of course, I lie, it’s not usual thing. However, I see my bright future in that way. I walked to Swiat Alkoholi (The World of Alcohol), a Polish drink shop network which in business since 1991. I was looking for Piper-Heidsieck. I wanted Cuvee Brut, offered Demi-sec situated in other shop in far end of Poznan. It came to that I didn’t get champagne. I asked on Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year Old (I’ve learnt catalogue on shop’s site.). It was in same second of two stores. I wanted Castello di Brolio Ricasoli, which they hadn’t anywhere. The shop was in dime choices.


The world was mocking me. I couldn’t deal with room. No respond or wacky condition in that I can take only for year (while I want on seven months at most.) and pay big deposit. I was ready to breach contract and lose deposit, but it should be room with price. Then in movement to the second place for two nights, which calls Cooltour apartments, I wanted a gas water, but I pressed wrong first number and got peach ice tea from vendor machine. That sugar was disgusting. I was devishly sweating what was every time when I was outside. It reminded me many times that I’m the winter man. I hardly tried to find apartments. I crossed whole Dabrowskiego street and asked many people by seeing polite persons if not count one of them, a close to be to tiny shape guy who ignited a cigarette and I was supposed to explain his cultural behavior, which he didn’t know (I saw that he would really accept on that moment.). We watched and I personally spelled who it writes and typed myself on their smartphones, which sometimes showed wrong direction. I blamed myself that I didn’t look on place’s number after first asking. I saw alcohol shop when I was on street’s end, but it was closed. I saw a title “London Look” under which was written “second hand” what was the funniest thing in Poznan. I crossed ways with gypsy girl, which nasty asked money. I ignored her. After all, my place was in almost beginning of the street.

The world hated me and was reminding that I must suffer. I entered in my room and I saw to my horror a LITTLE in 0,25 liters ROSE wine, which was SWEET and FRUITY. I was in hell. I didn’t get champagne and I had that. Cimarosa Zinfandel Rose USA, which from California and from 2021 It’s marking “Product of USA” was continued mocking me and my wish to live in America. Absence of information on quantity of degrees. No barcode and sign that it was from USA on a bottle. There described that it was bottled in Germany. And it had a SCREW cap. You know more? It wasn’t cloying. I didn’t get sugar and fruits (my reality, he-he-he.) what is incredible. Drinking was a lovely kiss. Excellent and especially for young wine. I switched on That’s Amore by Dean Martin when I finished. I did it again. Relaxing aftertaste while no specialty was in sniffing. Luckily, I had fridge to which I put before using.


After drinking I’ve got a phone call about housing from a person who didn’t responded. He said that deposit is same with housing in 1000 zloty. I could lose that money though I required to think on his offer until Monday when it was in Saturday.


I always believed that when you get phone, people start to call you. I acquired smartphone for temporary circumstance. It was after ten in Sunday. I walked away from apartments and returned by seeing on smartphone two times calling from unknown Polak. I didn’t call back. He called me later. He called himself a representer of House Hotel Poznan and he sounded Indian. I saw a man there who looked Indian. That man mentioned reading of my review, which was:


“Anybody who approved building of room in which I stayed must be deprived of license. A window was parallel to table what made impossible to work on laptop, because daylight didn't fall. That trouble was with air conditioner, which blew only to side of a bed. I couldn't sit with the laptop only on the bed, but I didn't like that window doesn't cover all noises made me many times to assume me that window is opened. And sometimes somebody was walking out from his suit for smoking and it's disgusting smell was penetrating inside of my premise. A sink tube asks cleaning, because water gone slowly and not instantly as must. I returned after visit of room service and I see crumpled sheet on which I lied. Where wasn't sheet change? Personnel of hotel must be natural. Their "thank you" shouldn't sound as requirement of procedure.”


Conversation continued that I made addition to my point of view on this hotel:


“After writing this review, a worker of hotel tried to reach me two times. I didn't answer, because I absented. He called me later in evening. He asked me "What can we do for change your opinion?" Then a representer tried to find words for say, but something cut our conversation on that place what was to the right. I had abomination to the hotel.”


It’s situation pointed that I must and I started to put my old phone number if it requires. It contains only “1”. I also blocked called phone number. Then I checked review page on Booking and I saw little negative reviews. Mostly had only mark, other had shortage of words, one had some sentences and detailed mine. Eight negative opinions at all.


Later I made accidental entering on Booking and I saw that I received message from Cooltour two hours ago that I’m one person who will have breakfast and it will delivered to my room. More than twenty minutes left for coming to reception and get questionnaire. Why didn’t receptionist visit my room in one floor away? I came to her, took a paper and a pen, I saw little bottles with wines. I was curious about price, which should be in small amount of euros. She thought that I want to buy and offered a free bottle. I took a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon of 2022 from Chile. I returned to the room, filled my choice by pointing almost everything, moved back and when I did shutting of a door, I recalled an electronic key left there (that situation was in House Hotel Poznan when I welcomed a cleaner and walked away – the Indian guy, who didn’t know his future fate, saved me though, it seems, there were two different Indians due to their voices weren’t same.). The receptionist saved me. I was in the room with making second drinking day with wine, which I put in fridge. It was filled of grapes when put my nose inside in a glass. Not viscous on taste. That was when I saw a good wine for few bucks. I had floating aftertaste with zero disturbance.


I never had breakfast in a room. I talked about astonishment of Polish breakfast. I had stinky cheeses too. I wanted to be humble, but I think mine French doesn’t evade me. That is get from live everything. That made these stories with Dom Perignon and Ruinart, which shocked a sister of stunning Italian lady while stunning Italian lady more calmly perceived it and, I think, it, probably, was that she learnt much about me what after all she takes such mad acts are natural for me. That individual breakfast opened my eyes about that I adore to eat alone. I must do that in future when I will come to hotels.


Why realtors always don’t want my money? I revealed with inexperienced in English and liked to be devoted in himself Polak that deposit in two times more then he said before. Why didn’t he say in beginning? He completed in creation of bad reputation on himself. I hardly reached him at first time. Then after that conversation in Monday, I some times tried to call again. He rudely dropped my calling once. I couldn’t bear that man and I didn’t like that room, which contradictive to price. I wanted to take, because it was the last and kinda “all right” variant. I don’t like people who write one conditions and I hear other conditions in meeting. What are they expecting in this situation? I didn’t decline meeting. I decided that let he calls me. I thought and still have this point that I should delay my wish with relocation. The contact will absent for few days. I was going to take bus to Warsaw in this day. I almost finished booking two times. However, circumstances turned me to extend my useless, as I believe, presence in Poznan on two days more.


I arrived to Hotel Traffic Poznan Stare Miasto, which was close with a mall to where I had visit intention. A new funny guy who think his English is perfect. I never reminded on his mistakes. He of those who think that I can’t understand while I have some American sound in pronunciation. He shows me number by finger and believes that I don’t understand while he didn’t know much. It was indeed. I asked for breakfast. He said payment for one night, but I explained that I stopped for two nights. I entered with already didn’t like this hotel and I was craven to write a furious review, which all staff will read with pleasure.


I was looking for beard trimmer in the mall calls Avenida. Not of the finest. Poor choice in everything and a lot venues were selling smartphones. I through information little center knew that I should go to the second part in looking for “shaving machine” as I showed it on myself. I will know later, it is only place in Avenida.


I entered to that only place, which I discover in walking through floors by elevator. It reminded a second-rate shop in which I was looking machine, which wasn’t made in Han Empire. I was searching for impossible. I asked worker who showed me models. One of them was Polish-French joined production, which was made in Han Empire. I chose the only, which describing contained only Polish and it was made in Poland and no mentioning of Han Empire. I didn’t like thick handle, but it was one in choice. Buying of beard trimmer gave sense of my coming to Poland. A saleswoman who was making registration of razor machine asked about discount card. Eventually (what was in little of seconds.) I approved it by concluding “who knows”.


I want to celebrate Christmas time in France and nowhere else in continental Europe. I can do it by only visa extension in Poland if I will stabilize there. My chances in faded state. I don’t see that I will save this Christmas. It will reasonable to move to buy ticket to Warsaw. Moreover, Poznan is wonderful city, which can describe as paradise on Earth. It’s mine the top lovable Polish town. Nevertheless, I don’t have belonging to it as about Poland.


I moved to food store for buying, as it will reveal, standard compilation for supper. A long Spanish sausage with truffles, French Brie, raw cashew, four bananas with green, baguette sandwich. Interest and never correct move to buy alcohol in food store came to instant decision to acquire Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year Old. A drink with 45,6%.


I’ve received an inviting message from the realtor on which I answered that I cancel meeting. I’ve learnt that American Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year Old is 750 milliliters and has white color label including in information about 91.2 proof. I bought a bottle with yellow label and information on back side that it was bottled from the USA and imported to the United Kingdom. That’s shouldn’t be disastrous. I ate the most disgusting baguette sandwich made by mankind. Ranch sauce and chicken mcnuggets were main things killed this beautiful baguette. I uncorked the bottle. It wants to give maturity, but I get nothing in sniffing. Highly and lovely burns your mouth then caresses your soul and takes away all doubts about wrong thinking with this drink. This divine effect can get in mouth rinsing. It will incredible same after many sips. I wish to compare with producing in motherland. However, I believe, it will same. Aftertaste is quiet stance as you situate in deep nature and get balance in harmony with everything surrounding you.
