My father did some business in Poland a few years back, and my mother flew out to visit him. My father was really fascinated with Poland for a while.
From the pictures they showed me, some parts of Poland they visited were really quite beautiful. The cities did have that Eastern Block industrial feel with the architecture, like Golden Boy said, like they were sort of stuck in time.
My parents also got a lot of amber jewelry there, I guess Poland is one of the main places where it comes from. Really gorgeous pieces of amber, not that heat treated stuff that's made in labs. And silver - got lots of silver from Poland (a lot of it is hand sculpted around the amber they brought home.) Really beautiful, unique pieces.
