Day 2: Warsaw

I had visited most of the major tourist sights in the first day, so there was not much left to do the second day so I just took my time


Gestapo House of Horror.

Gestapo office



I tried to look for the Ghetto Wall, but I couldn't find it and the area was a little sketchy so I left. The weather was getting chilly too



Monument to Those Fallen and Murdered in the East



the Cytadel, it was closed to the public


I was taking the plane to Oslo, and on my way to the airport in Warsaw I almost got pick-pocketed again! >:( These SOB's are shameless! Luckily I caught the thief red-handed and yelled at him, but he acted as if he did nothing wrong and showed no remorse and even tried to push me around! I pushed back but nobody on the bus did anything. He just stood right beside me for a couple of more stops and got off. Bastard!

I have to say Warsaw is not exactly my favorite city. It is really easy to tell if a city is ex-communist. Everything's just a little more run-down and grey, and the living standard is just not as high. Many people in Warsaw don't speak English at all, and some areas just aren't that nice and seem a little sketchy. But I guess it's something different, and I did enjoy my stay there.
