Day 95: Warsaw

Date: 5 DEC 2008.

Went around visiting both the new and old town of Warsaw today.







Caught Santa in action!!





I realised that all different cities have their own character. while Karkow was massive and Wroclaw was colourful, Warsaw was also unique in its own way. Here, they used lots of painting on the exterior wall of the buildings to decorate the town.

















More pictures around town.



























Getting ready for Xmas.



I also went to the outskirt of town to visit what used to be a prison.



































Then I went back to town again. I realised that many people here intergrates the five chinese elements into their cooking as an atempt to seek greater health. According to them, each meal must be balance in 金， 木， 水， 火， 土, also known as metal, wood, water, fire and earth. How do they do it? They have a chart of which kind of food belongs to which of the five elements. Interesting ya?



Need to send a post card? I have to look out for this.



Then I went into a building which I believed it to be a church.







Whats inside?



Let take a look.



A closer look.









it has the strangest jesus that I had ever seen. Here, Jesus was hang on a what seems to be burnt down cross. The cross has no vertical beam and Jesus was in torn clothings. There were also skulls around the cross.







Night view of the old town.



Getting ready for Xmas.
