I generally waited for a blank space to take pictures.<br /><br />I haven't really looked for specific things, except museums. Those are quite easy to find. The shopping center across the way from the hotel has a big grocery store. I managed to figure out the chocolate aisle! ;-)<br /><br />Things are clean, but they don't look it. Many buildings are stucco with the color of sand mixed with dirt. And surprisingly, there's very little smell (at least that I can tell). This is quite different from China, where there's a distinctive smell in all the big cities.<br /><br />Alas, there are McDonalds everywhere. Not Starbucks, tho. I think Warsaw is not a hugely prosperous place, but there's enough of a middle class that I'm surprised not to see them. But McDonalds has come to be seen as proper food even for the very poor. What a cancerous coup.wstachourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447198404608861357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15935045.post-65798351043052880222010-06-14T01:11:45.765-05:002010-06-14T01:11:45.765-05:00Well, at least you have some of the glorious expor...Well, at least you have some of the glorious exports of the USA ...

I suppose that you have some sort of map. It also seems clean down below,though I cant smell it.Jonnoreply@blogger.com
