Change


In the streets, walking between a set of oldschool communist apartment blocks, Lada has been replaced by Audi, Skoda had to make room for Lexus and the odd Trabant has vanished completely.

New trams have been introduced (consider yourself lucky if you get to travel on an old communist one) and busses are everywhere. And running on time.

New and modern buildings are raising from a Polish ground zero. Communist times are over. Welcome capitalism, whether you like it or not.
Membership of the European Union, and organizing Euro 2012 have definitely helped a big hand.

For those who don’t like to read, I have to apologize. I could have limited this post to one sentence.
Mc Donalds, KFC and Starbucks have arrived in Gdansk…
