I have been to 11 European countries (13 if you count England, Scotland and Wales separately; 15 if you include the Vatican and Monaco) but my list doesn’t include Poland. I’d like to add it!
Mostly, it is just sadness that I feel. Every place in the world changes, but here in my city the whole districts and hundreds of thousands of people were gone within the period of just few years. I can’t remember how it really was, but in a way I miss the city that is now gone for 70 years.
I can’t even imagine what that would be like. My grandfather was born in Poland – his grandparents lived in Warsaw and that world intrigues me. I love looking at your pictures to get a glimpse into this time and place!
It can sound a little strange, but it intrigues me too. Maybe it’s because I’ve spent all my life in the city that is completely different than it used to be just few decades ago. I’ll keep posting my Warsaw photos, I hope you’ll like them too.
I would like to visit your city one day.

Wow, impressive… You’ve seen more of Europe than most Europeans (including me). Next stop: Poland!

quite chilling. must be hard to walk past these places everyday? I got a train into Berlin and I didn’t enjoy it at all. Too many ghosts of the past.
