Day 21: We like Poland!


(Him: Charlie)
After 3 cities in Poland (Warsaw, Gdansk, and Wroclaw), we can comfortably say that we are really enjoying Poland! This country has so much to offer – from deep history for those who wish to look back in time, to a variety of landscape for outdoorsy enthusiasts, to great food for those with savory taste buds. These days, Poland is also busy prepping for Euro 2012 (you can even feel the excitement in the air!!).
I cannot stress enough that the buildings in all three cities we’ve been are gorgeous. I just don’t get tired looking at those colourful buildings. Although I don’t recognize the architectural significance (I can’t even tell the difference between Baroque, Classical and Renaissance styles), I can still appreciate the delicate ornaments and sculptures on those buildings.


As we approach Krakow on a bus, we are looking forward to another satisfying stay at this former capital of Poland. It is supposed to have the most amazing architectural buildings in the whole Poland.
Interesting fact of Vodka:
Polish claimed that Vodka was first made in Poland, while the Russians also make the claim. During the communist period, Vodka was pretty much the only drink available, and it led to a lot of social problems. In the post-communist era, beer and wine became the elegant and social drinks. However, Vodka is making a comeback these days, as Polish once embrace Vodka and feel proud about this traditional drink.
