When planning my summer trip to the Balkans, it was unexpectedly cheaper to first fly to Poland and then to Albania. So I decided to spend 4 days in Poland.

Eastern Europe is way ahead of the west in terms of technology. I used a cryptomat for the first time in order to obtain zloty. Churches have the option to donate by card.

After coming to Poland from Italy, I had the thought that “можно же всё-таки жить по-человечески” (it’s possible to live properly after all). The city is clean, full of trees, no crazy cars, no crazy people, safe, cheaper, good food that I’m used to, lots of supermarkets, etc. Maybe even too many supermarkets, the Zabka ones.
