the empire state building east...just kidding. Palace of Culture & Science. a "gift" from Stalin.
sun setting from atop the building above.
chopin's heart is ACTUALLY in this pillar.
candlelit dinner for one. my first authentically Polish meal.
pierogi. a little too much oil for my body to handle, but delicious delicious flavor.
another view of Plac Zamkowy. somehow i managed to never actually get a photo of the full square with the castle in it. weird.
europe loves its churches
if i knew Poland was saving me a seat, i would've arrived much earlier!!
not much bigger than my bed in NYC. how could a king be satisfied? he must have been tiny.

benches outside the Centre for Contemporary Art. some of the phrases i didnt like at all, but some of them really moved me. i was shocked at the things they said once i started reading - i wasn't expecting so many things that resonated with me...usually things like this are so generic, stupid, and awful. just the usual bullshit we're all constantly spoonfed about life, death, love, and humanity. but these benches are actually cool. one of them officially became my favorite bench in the world, but im not telling which one.

Enjoyed Brilliant pictures of Poland!
Beautiful pictures Jay! Excited for you to get to see such fun/interesting places
haha churches and Europe. I remember taking a trip to Germany where it seemed like every other thing we saw was a church.
Churches were like Dunkin'Donuts and CVS back then.
Hope you see Krakow. The real Polish royal city. Again, it's all churches, a nice castle and a da Vinci.
You look nice in Poland. Central Europe become you.
I adore the benches Jay!!!! Trying to figure out which one you love the ebst!! They are soo brilliant!!!
OMG You were in Poland? Where I was then? :( Unfortunately i'm not from Warsaw... Goddamned :) I veeery like Your person! When You will be in Poland again, please let me know. I'll be waiting :)binky_s@wp.pl Sylwia from PL :D
The sunset picture is lovely.
The benches are aphorisms from "Truisms" by conceptual artist Jenny Holzer. They've been reproduced in all kinds of media, from tshirts to condoms to the LED billboard in Times Square.
