Warsaw
Immediately on exiting the Frederic Chopin airport a surprise awaits the visitor. For someone who is visiting Poland for the first time reality doesnt come near your expectations of an East European country on whos soil two thirds of the Jewish nation was massacred. Warsaw is blend of ancient and new, ruins from WWII, magnificent cathedrals, communist monuments, alongside Marks & Spencer and Kentucky Fried Chicken in shopping malls that would not embarrass any Western European city. Someone who has already been to Poland will also be surprised. Warsaw is in the midst of a great construction wave. Warsaws skyline is littered with dozens of construction cranes. All the glass towers were built in the last decade. A city with 1.8 million residents doesnt resemble itself 10 years ago. Polands entry into the European Union assures an accelerated continuance of the process.
