The downtown bike lines surrounded by concrete borders seemed pretty cool to me. I wandered around the big (big to me) park in the center, Lazienkowski park.

I did find the huge open spaces next to Stalin Skyscraper and Saxon Palace to be very unused looking.

I love Warsaw, too bad I find the language impenetrable.

My fiancée started learning it with a tutor about half a year ago for 4 hour per week and she's already making very good progress and is able to have short conversations, don't get discouraged! It's just a language like any other.

It's weird but I managed to learn conversational Polish in about 6 weeks, thanks to a girlfriend who couldn't speak English.

I mean, that's a pretty strong motivator, unfortunately it's not a viable strategy for everyone ;-)
