warszawa or my obsession with people watching p.1

OMG! OMG! OMG! i was shocked! so surprised! why have i never been here before?! warszawa is one of the most amazing places i have ever been. on par with any european capital. full of life, history and culture. i can hardly say that i even as much as licked the surface of what the city has to offer. two days is not nearly long enough to discover warszawa. at the end of our trip i picked up a guide to the city for my next, already in the process of being planned, visit to poland’s capital. i am so proud as a polak to be able to say that we have a city like this to show to the rest of the world. there are so many photos i am spreading them over two posts. these photos were all taken in the old part of town, which by the way takes your breath away, it’s so beautiful, if i lived here i would spend every spare moment i had walking the cobble sone roads. none of it is original since warsaw was fully destroyed during the war, but it is all rebuilt so beautifully it doesn’t even matter. many people say that krakow is the pearl of poland when it comes to history, and it IS amazing, but warszawa has everything, on top of its vast history connected with world war II it also has great shopping and amazing culture, with it’s many live theatres and museums. forget london, paris or rome, warszawa is my new favourite place.
