Bye the bye, one of the pictures in the slideshow we are commenting on is a picture of the Vistula - showing a power station
It isn't actually a power station, it's Elektrociepłownia Żerań
What is so Polish about it then? It reminds me of North-East London for some reason. Someplace between Walthamstow and Edmonton, where those huge gas drums, canals, and industrial parks are.
Exactly - like much of Warsaw.
Why not the Vistula embankment? But something slightly less tedious?
You mean prettier?
Ask your friends in America how many of them would like to visit Lodz or Katowice
I don't have friends in America (well, one person I know emigrated there) and in any case, those pictures, which you evidently havent looked at, aren't from a travel guide or a tourist brochure - they aren't meant to encourage anybody to visit. They're meant to capture something of how things really are. Not show some chocolate box image that Poles would like to present to others.
