Golf in Poland Posted by Kasia on Sep 21, 2011
Golf has been played in Poland for longer than you might imagine. In the early part of the last century, before the Second World War, there were a couple of 9-hole courses, though these were mainly the preserve of the aristocracy or the army.

Visiting Białowieża! Posted by Kasia on Sep 20, 2011
Today I wanted to suggest another great place to visit in Poland. If somebody wants to see a forest the way it was hundreds years ago, they have to visit Białowieża Forest.

Rather, the exhibits in this splendid building explain a rich local culture that is very much alive on the streets…
Poland almost like Europe in a nutshell Posted by Kasia on Aug 3, 2011
One of my friends recently asked me how would I describe Poland in one sentence. I have to say “Poland is Europe in a nutshell”.
