Talk about this trip (2)
all though i have only been to warsaw twice (a 1 month stay followed by a 4 month stay the year after).I fell in love with the city even the area of Praga where most of my friends live. Apart from the amazing ressurection from the ruins to be reproduced as if the touring country never got that far. you will also find lots of little small bars and clubs that are always friendly. if you like markets then you will love the one at the old stadium. it must be one of the largest in europe. The old and new towns are not as their names suggest they are both incredibly old. Did i mention how friendly everyone is? i must have left out how incredibly georgeous the varsovian women are. I never get tired of walking around this city. and if i did there is allways the bus and tram system and of course the metro which is being expanded. Getting around is so easy as the same ticket covers all three. At the moment i am planning my return. See you there.

I am entertaining the thought of a Poland vacation as I type,,,Warsaw sounds great but I would first stop at the town of Kety Poland, just to say hello to a friend there. I just found out that I don't need a visa to get there!.
