Hi, I am Soren, 48 male from Copenhagen.

I just found this forum, am I hope to meet some people from Warszawa, who would like to show me around.

I have been in Warszawa a couple of times now, and I am going again soon, maybe in week 4.

Welcome, nice to hear from a Scandinavian guy.

Hi Soren!
Visited Copenhagen this summer, loved it . Beautiful town. Was there once before when I was 10 years old. It's a place that I will never forget and will always hold dear in my heart. My Polish Prince proposed to me there under a fountain.
And I said YES!!!

Hi Krysia

Wow, I am glad you like Copenhagen, I am fund of my town and I love to take a walk I the streets, do you remember the name of the fountain?

Hi Soren!!

Is that really it??? Looks different now. Wow!! That is so cool!! Thank you so much!! Just wait till I tell my fiance that I know something he doesn't!!

Hi again, yes you must do that, he sure be surprised, the fountain was from the start, a place where the people in Copenhagen could get fresh water.

What does the name mean?

I don?t know what the name ?Caritas? mean, but ?bronden? mean well, and it was from the start build (1608) as a wellwater.

There is so much history and interesting buildings! We walked to the pier, had a pizza, watched a magician and artists painting on the streets, got souvenirs and pictures of the queen and king. Did you ever see them?
When we were there, it was the end of the school year and the students were riding around town in the back of trucks singing and yelling, and they would stop at monuments around town and run around in circles then meet with family members.
Do you know more about it? How did the tradition start? Did you do that too?

Yes I have, with my 8years daughter, we have been to the queens birthday, where she at 12:00 come out on here balcony, so the people can se her.

Sorry I don?t know when this started, but I remember it from my childhood, this is only a students tradition. And I have not done this way in my education.
