My city
Hi everyone!
I have been very busy lately and I have so many things to do so this post won't be very long.
This weekend I'm going for my cousin's wedding and it will be party with a folk band. So I hope that there will be a lot of fun.
I promised to tell you and show you something more about my city. You can check it out on the Internet. I'm living in Krzeszowice. It's a rather small city and because of it I love this place. It's not crowded or devastated.
I don't want to write for you about history of this place because it's very long. But I will give you a few interesting facts.
Krzeszowice was set up in 1286 and in this period was named Cressouicy. For me it sounds French. Later, Krzeszowice became ownership of Tęczyński family. Near Krzeszowice there is a ruined castle which belonged to this family. You can see it in the photo.


Krzeszowice was a spa in the past. We have here healing waters. In this picture you can see a water intake. This blue emblem is representing Potocki family which was founder of spa.

In this picture, there is a shrine with water intake. When it's warm weather you can smell a characteristic aroma of healing water. I can describe it as rotten eggs.

And here is our palace. It was build in 1850 for Potocki family. Now it's very devastated but it was a beautiful building in the past. It's surrounded by a big park with a exotic plants. During the Second World War, it was a residence of Hans Frank. One summer it was visited by Adolf Hitler. After the war there was an orphanage. Now it's empty.

In this photo you can see Devil's Bridge.
There is a lot of interesting places in my city which I would like to show you but because a lack of time I can't take photos.
Greetings for everyone.
Karolina

Your country has always seemed a fascinating place to me. I wanted to visit it since I knew Fryderyk Chopin was Polish. When I was a child I started my first piano lessons because of his music which my mother used to listen to at home. Besides, Wojciech Kilar (polish musician too) composed the soundtrack band for one of my favourite movies: Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula. Oh my God, I was so excited when we performed it with the high school orchestra...good times :). Whatever, I was saying that Poland is a place I must visit someday. I should begin saving money.
As you indicated, I just "googled" for Krzeszowice images to get some pictures and I got some aerials. Your city really looks like a peaceful place. It reminds me so much to the southern part of my own country.
Thanks for sharing your photos and your culture. Greetings from Chile. :)
Pd: I can't believe that while you are saying that you lack time, it took me 1 hour to write this few words. I mean, it's not that I don't lack time but I definitely must improve my writing skills.

You are warm welcome as a student blogger for this month.
Thank you for finding sometime to write your first post even you are too busy as you have mentioned with the preparation of your cousin's weeding. We hope next one will come based on that(weeding).
All the pictures which are carrying the beauty and history of the city Krzeszowice are nice. Thank you for sharing with us. One thing we always expect to find something from the post rather partial from post and some from web(searching). So please write detail even one point but more detail for making ourselves clear on that subject.
Anyway thank you very much for the post and will be waiting for a wonderful post.

I always repeat that Poland this a beautiful place. We have actually all: lowlands, heights, mountains, lakes, forest and access to the sea. However the most of us prefer to go abroad than to try better to recognize the own country. It comes true the saying "somebody else's you praise your own you do not know" (something like that). So, the summertime is approaching....
Ps.
Hmm, I nearly forgot about different season in different parties of the globe.....
Regards,
Maja

An old part of Tbilisi is represented by Asian culture and a new one by European modern style buildings. Recently many beautiful fountains and bridges have appeared in our city, as well as glass buildings.
Welcome to Tbilisi. You’re waiting delicious Georgian wine and cuisine. I’m sure you’ll enjoy with our attractive city.
