"Warszawa da się lubić"

in my not perfect translation - "there are reasons to like Warsaw" it's a song written in the early 50's by Bronisław Brok to the music of Jerzy Wasowski. it extols Warsaw's charm and atmosphere and it mentions that one can find luck there as well as loose his hart...
nowadays the song can be heard mainly on streets of the capital played by local folk-bands.

the pictures below were taken during my a few days stay at home.

Jarmark Europa or in a casual Varsovian talk Stadion X-lecia was a sport stadium that became a huge outdoor market in 1989. it is definitely not a pleasent (and safe!) place and it has a negative opinion among many Varsovians. despite this thousands visit it daily to purchase cheap (quality) goods. the market is planned to close on September 30th to become a huge building site for a change. it is also believed to become National Stadium once.. for Euro 2012 Championship i mean ;)
