I like Warsaw. We are past the infatuation, there are no more sparks, but there are fireworks each year on New Years. I wasn't always fond of Warsaw, but the city grew on me.
I was born few years before the fall of the Berlin Wall and I still remember the dull gray post-socialistic feel of the city. I probably wouldn't have known a different world existed, but in my young years we moved to the south of Germany, so I was aware of what life could be and what it wasn't in Warsaw.
But now, a whole different city unfolds before my windows. It is a young, vibrant city, still looking for it's own identity, but already with a distinct feel to it. There is so much energy here, it's the young kind of energy spread by people, who want to make this place livable for themselves. New cafes, clubs, events pop up like mushrooms after the rain. There is still a lot to be done, but living in Warsaw is like playing Lego: nothing is decided, you can create your own reality.
I love Warsaw, how it changed, how it is now. I think we could grow old together.
So for all of you, who know none of Warsaw, here is my city:
(watch in big!!)
