Warsaw, Poland.
I landed a few hours ago in Warsaw. 1 hour flight from Bucharest. My bank card works and staying at a nice hostel. So far the city seems nice.. It was almost totally flattened in second world war, so most is new. There is a small old town that i may visit tomorrow but my priority is to get out of here and into the country. Will be heading south and stop in a few towns on my way to Krakow. Meet a couple from NY and two businessmen from CT and an older married couple from Ohio who were helping at an orphanage in bucharest.. Got yet another stamp in my passport and picked up some more weird money. I will hopefully have a nice collection when i get back.
Okay - trivia time. First person to answer correctly will win a trinket from europe.
Below is a picture of the "palace of culture and science" in Warsaw. It was a gift to Poland from Stalin during polands domination by Russia. Many poles have a strong dislike for the building. The question: why do these same poles say the best view of warsaw is from its observation deck?

No thats not the answer. Its a trick question... try again.
Because you can't see the ugly building when you are standing on it!!!!
I win!
Bravo! Bravo! You win a trinket.
hey newt-bomb!
good move going to ireland. you shan't regret it. recommendations: Galway (beach town, tres cool).
for lots o' irish land and little commericial estab.'s go to Connemara. i believe this is in/around county Clare. Ireland's only fjord (Killary) lives in Connemara. amazing scuba diving there. for a straight injection of old irish living (stone cottages, rolling hills, sheep, dinky pubs and kindred old irish man) you must drive all the way north to Donegal. Connemara and Donegal are recommend's from my dublin native boss, louise. i would also strongly suggest that you go to dublin. i really really liked it. tally-ho! oh, by the way dad tried to log on and leave a message for you but after 1.5 hours of stress and strain at the needham public library he surrendered and no message was left. he feels really bad. i'm going to needham to help him in a couple days. but he wants you to know that he has tried and also that he's thinking of you. toodles McNoodles!
