| Page Views: 3,897 Last Visit to Poland: April, 2006 I Visit Here Frequently | Poland by cheekymarieh - last update: Apr 16, 2006 |
Here in the UK I have found that many people express surprise when I mention that I am taking a trip to (or have visited) Poland. After all it isn't the usual preferred destination for many people.
How did I first come to visit the country? Well in 1989 (just prior to the collapse of the Berlin wall) I had the opportunity to attend a youth event in the city of Wroclaw. At that time I thought (foolishly!) that this would be the nearest that I would get to a trip to Russia (a childhood dream). I went for the first time in December of that year and returned home to a new decade.
Since that first trip I have now returned to various locations within the country and links have been strengthened by the fact that my brother now teaches English within the country.
A few facts about the country - the population is around 39 million. Its capital is Warsaw and some of the main cities include L?dz, Krak?w, Wroclaw, Poznan, Gdansk, Katowice and Lublin.
The people of Poland heve voted in favour of membership of the European Union. Their accession will take place in 2004. |

Great tips. We must have been on the same tour. Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Mtc is my favorite book. Have to get a new copy, mine is all dog earred. Birthday greetings from Alaska! | evaanna Sat Aug 19, 2006 09:33 UTC
You've seen so much in Poland. I know what you mean about the MacDonalds. Polish food is better and cheaper as well. I like the way you write about the Polish Jews. We all lost so much by losing them. Very good page, come again to see even more. | sarahjayn Sun Jun 19, 2005 17:16 UTC
