Warszawa

Last year was the first time I was in Warsaw. I was with my friend and Camera Assistant who's Polish and she said, 'Warszawa...' (pronounced Varshava with a roll on the R)
'What? Do they say it like that?'
'They? Yes, WE do saw Warszawa. We don't say WAR- SAW, we say Warszawa...'

From that point onwards, I say Warszawa, I say Krakow and I say Lodz ('woodge').

Nearly 90% of Warszawa was bombed to rubble during the Second World War and has been rebult since. So badly decimated that the capital of Poland temporarily moved to Lodz.

I spent a few days here after Lodz. Didn't have the greatest time here but there were some good moments.



Stare Miasto (Old Town)

Stadium







Milk bar. Old school canteen with old scholl cheap Polish food. I got told off twice here for taking pictures.

Metro, obviously.

I went into a bar and just as I got my drink I bumped into someone
I know from Camerimage who I met last year. She lives in Warszawa.
