I'm having fun in Warsaw

I'm back. And so I'm uploading some more photos from Warszawa. I have to add that I'm missing home and all of you already. but "the world has to go round" as we say in Poland..

Good moments part two:

Easter in Warszawa


The wooden church in Stara Miłosna - my neighbourhood; built after First World War according to an original style that exists in Zakopane. the church was moved to Stara Miłosna in 1948.


Powązki Cemetery- one of the oldest cemeteries in Europe and the oldest one in Warsaw (1790)


many of the greatest people in the Polish history are buried here


a part of the city centre and east side of Warsaw; a picture taken from an observation terrace in the Palace of Culture and Science; the terrace is located on the 30th floor.

The Palace itself (Pałac Kultury i Nauki) is the 4th tallest in the EU and the tallest building in Warsaw. btw, those who's ever seen a picture of Warszawa must have seen Pałac Kultury i Nauki that, despite the critiques of the majority of Poles, has become na icon. an interesting thing to point at here is that Poland received the skyscraper as a 'gift' from the Soviets during they big-time. The palace appeared in 1955 together with many other 'great' pearls of socreal architecture.
personally, i like this object very much. there are many things happening in Pałac Kultury i Nauki. there is a theatre, a cinema, a club, various exibitions and a cafe-bar. i'm not a regular any more, however i used to go there with my mum when i was a little girl. i was playing lego or painting with other kids. during my last stay in Warsaw i went to the club called 1955 that is located within its premises. it was a good night out - having lots of fun with some old friends and dancing to cool electro;)

my last two days in Poland were really warm and sunny; i took my dog Max for a walk to a nearby forest; this is a huge advantage of living on the outskirts of the big city
