The strangest things in Poland [468]
Poland is one of the strangest countries I have seen.I mean everything is strange in Poland,which is not a bad thing actually,it adds suspense.
For example you see a landscape absolutely flat with no mountains at all,then you see trees placed in order,very tall and then suddenly you meet a mysterious gothic church or some strange castle in the middle of nowhere and everything gets different.It is an atmosphere.You have the sense that something very bad can happen in this territory and then there is Auschwitz.Poland can seem haunted.
Strange is the mix of german,austrian and polish architecture,cities looking very different between each other,the communist monster blocks which are not so properly built in Poland like in Czech Republic and some totally crazy things regarding architecture like a decadent,very ugly building built to replace one destroyed in war whch happens to be next to a marvellous pre-war villa with statues etc.
The big houses trying to immitate the german architecture but with unique polish style,very close to each other,narrow streets and very heavy,baroque style.
And then of course the gorgeous women like coming from fairy tales,the superstitions and this absolute craziness in underground that threatens to explode.
Trimmed and diabolical faces of unemployed gathered next to churches,a ssense of fear and high at the same time.
Poland is phantastic.
