Can't advise on eating and drinking, as it's been years since I was there and I seemed to spend most of my time picking through piles of Soviet-era cameras, watches and the like, in flea markets and junk shops. Happy days.<br /><br />There's a lot about the Warsaw Ghetto and the Uprising, if you like a bit of history.<br /><br />Hope the place isn't overrun with Brit stag party weekenders, the Poles deserve better than that. You probably do, as well.office pesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15516888180507856752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-19293554879786576862009-10-19T14:23:19.598+01:002009-10-19T14:23:19.598+01:00I suppose it's all modern if you consider the ...I suppose it's all modern if you consider the Nazis burnt almost the entire place to the ground back in the '40s. They've done a good job of putting the old town back together, though it's all a bit Disneyland when you consider its age.<br /><br />Not that the locals appreciate all the effort, the blind drunk, miserable SODS.BPPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343254659461346722noreply@blogger.com
