PennBoy: I've seen much better places than that in Poland, try Tatra mountains, or Mazury, or Hel peninsula, or forests and hills in Lublin area It is true these places are extremely beautiful, as are the places described by Sir George. Each place whether it be England or Poland are captured for their natural creative beauty and individualism, therefore it is totally unfair to to state that one is better than the other.

Very true, but Sir George was being a bit ignorant with his comments i don't he's been to those places in Poland i've described.

derek trotter: We lost our upper class after '39 butchered by USSR so this culture is lost in Poland I would be grateful if you could explain. Do you mean when many of your academics were persecuted under the Russian's. I would just like to know a little more from a Polish view, rather than from international history that one reads. Thanks.

Switezianka: Puszcza Białowieska Very beautiful forest. And biologists from all over Europe go there for its unique environment.

Exceedingly bad roads which Neil Armstrong wouldn't have been able to drive along! Areas of natural beauty which have not all been sanitised for tourists. Wildlife which you can be scared of (wolves and wild boar). It's a great feeling to see/meet one and feel you really are in the wilderness. Horse drawn farm vehicles being used for real. Sounds patronising, but it is kind of sweet to see a horse drawn cart going through the village.

there is fewer and fewer horses in the countryside which is quite sad and there are far too many ravens in the forests where I live

gumishu: there is fewer and fewer horses in the countryside which is quite sad It is sad, however, on the other hand, it suggests farmers are now rich enough to have motor vehicles (or poor enough not to have horses!). We still have a few in our villages in warmia. In fact, when the school bus didn't show up one day the local farmer picked all the kids up in his cart. The local paper had a field day.

isthatu2: and the road signs warning them not to go on motorways...... We have them in Britain too. Out door privvies. It was funny when I visited a heritage museum in Shropshire and people were laughing at the privvy saying, "I bet Grandma remembers them". I'd been using one a week before in Suwalki.

It has been a while since I drove on a UK motorway (maybe it is just written) and I might be thinking of autobahns in Germany. 1.bp.blogspot.com/_fmvrO1fAeuc/SMJpisg60kI/AAAAAAAAAew/fHm4xPPY 7B0/s640/P1010571.JPG[/url] drivinglessonscork.com/images/m2.gif
