Dear Poland...

Dear Poland,

I'll be frank. I didn't like you.
You were bleak and dull and very uninspiring. Yes, yes, your people are very sweet and I find their attchment to their weiner dogs very amusing. However, there just wasn't any "you-ness". Nothing to distinguish you. No love. And frankly, it got on my nerves and I couldn't wait to leave.

That was until Warsaw. Now I know people have said that your capital city is nothing but a huge collection of communist concrete monstrosities (and they wouldn't be wrong in some neighborhoods), but I've had an great time here.

I admire that your people completely rebuilt the old town from scratch as it was obliterated in the war. But what I ADORE is your contemporary art gallery. It showed me you have a soul, Poland. Every other capital is nothing but the same ol' collection of Baroque facades. But you've pulled yourself up and made yourself anew. And that, is truly awesome. Don't let anyone forget it.

Hugs and Kisses,
- Sarah
