I believe in States these are called streetcars? As in Streetcar Named Desire, where – accidentally – Marlon Brando played a character of Polish origin. This, however is not why I took a picture of it. This particular one, number 10, starts in the neighborhood in which my parents live, equivalent I would think of end of zone 2 in London, except there’s huge estates and Warsaw only goes as far as 3 zones – and that if we’re being generous. It goes further through the strict city center through to near where my flat is and one of Warsaw’s favorite parks Pola Mokotowskie. Pola is a nearly mythical place for me and my friends, as it’s packed with pubs of dubious quality in which many a nights turned mornings were spent. Warsaw is blessed with many 24/7 alcohol shops and we’d never restrain from buying that last beer outside my house. I also used to go to school on this one, but that memory I hold less dearly. 

This is a plate form said tram, it’s one of these old school ones, from before electronic displays and warm-voiced ladies announcing arrival at a destination.
