Re: My country: Poland. What do you think about this place?
Feb 24, 2010
Hi Folks,
All good experiences in Poland, but only because of good preparations. I have been twice in Poland, once a trip to Warsaw, Olsztyn and the regions Mazurski and Bialowieza during autumn . A second time was to Krakow, Auschwitz and the Tatra mountains in the south with a Polish Ex-girlfriend last spring.
Coming from western Europe, the first experiences when you arrive in Poland is that the cities are very greyish, but once you enter the city centers, this is just a mistake. Warsaw is a colorfull center (with grey suburbs) and Krakow is one of the most beautiful places you can visit. The food and ho(s)tels are cheap, the people nice and very helpful. The only issues I had is the language, in my humble opinion the most difficult language on earth, especially the pronounciation, but also the grammar is confusing.
In the city you can help yourself with some English and German, but once you go to the countryside, only Polish is possible ...(which is pretty shitty when you can only say Dzjien Dobre = good day). Notwithstanding the language issues, travelling around is recommended. National Park Bialowieza has European Buffalos, Mazurski is famous for the lovely lakes and the Tatra are stunning.
Cheers,
The country side
