Didn't know that. I usually call it Poznan but sometimes I see Posen next to it.

The Germans are calling it Posen.

During the 1500s Poznan had looked this way

Poznan isn't so beautiful anymore. How come there have been no progress for the last 5 centuries? :)

? - I have no idea what do you mean. The city is courently more than 20 times bigger compared to its size during the XIV-XVI century.

When it comes to the old town - in most part it is being restored to its former look.

i.e. right now - beside what you see there are courently c.a. 50 historic houses undergoing renovation in the old town area and there are also plans to reconstruct the old castle - as well as perhaps in the future - the defensive walls.

What makes the beauty of Poznan is also the new post-industrial architecture introduced by the Kulczyk family:

as you know or perhaps not this is only the first phase of what Mrs. Kulczyk is building in that city.

I got the tour in the town hall that this picture came from. It's amazing that everything is still standing after being on fire so many times.

I don't agree with this. When I was there this past october they were doing restoration work on and around the Parish Church. They were also doing a bit of restoration on the Town hall. The city is definitely still beautiful.

I work for a company where tons of people are using tons of bandwith

Pay to go to a public restroom-how ridiculous

At least they have public restrooms :) Try finding one in NYC.

LOL My first trip to Poland I found that out. I wanted to use the public bathroom on the street and was charged smile

It`s not always that way - those who are away from train/bus stations subways ect. are free..
ie. in Warsaw there are free public toilets in the undergroung below the Palace of Culture and Science.. if you`re getting out of the train at the central station.. and if you`re an extreamly fast runner.. and you have enough inner strenght.. you have a slight chance of reaching them before it`s too late..

I was raised in Pastuchow (Lower Silesia) then moved to Swidnica - about 20 km from Pastuchow. Below is an old great catholic church in Swidnica (reconstructed after the World War II):

Are you going to Poznan or something? I'm leaving next friday for 2.5 weeks in Poznan :)

Poznan street racing

When is this? Something that I can participate in? Looks like fun.

Also, I'll be driving up to Sopot in a few weeks and wanted to know if there were any cities I might want to visit on the way...something worth seeing anyway :) ...The Pyramids for example.

Yes. And I was caught off-guard. Usually I know what he's up to, but this time he got me good!
AND I LOVE HIM TO PIECES!!!!!!!

It's like a picture of a cow eating grass.
You ask: "well, where's the cow?"
"She ate all the grass and went to look for more".

An old kindergarten joke.

I bet you had a blast!!!!!!!!!
