Winter afternoon in Poznań

 

I have been there in Poznań around two years ago. In general I visit Poznań rarely. I was there for the fourth time in my life. It was a business trip but I had a few hours of free time. I was very happy of that untill rain started to fall. So I had no choice and I spent the time in a random cafe with big tiramisu very tasty and drinking tea.

I can say Poznań is even most beautiful Polish town. Surely you can feel strong Polish vibe combined with some German influences and for me personally this is also something Scandinavian in the air. The problem that makes it all a bit complicated is that people from Poznań do not like us people from Warsaw. (We also have a lot of jokes about Poznań f.ex " How do they in Poznań use to take the shower? They squeeze the bath foam over the head" or " In Poznań dad is talking with his son: Oh, my dear son, you was very good at school, I am so proud of you... So I want to go with you to show you ice-cream. You will look at them and admire all the tastes" etc) They simply envy us that Warsaw is a capital and they are very thrifty. In the Cathedral in Poznań some elements are made from plastic and it looks like marble ( sadly it is not a joke).

I had one auntie from Poznań and she was not thrifty, maybe because she lived almost all her life in Warsaw. But this is something very dull there. Even if I find it beautiful I will never move there.
