Warsaw Poland International 5 day course

Wonderful weather, good flight connections 8.5 hour flight

Wait to buy vodka on plane with shopping cart down the aisle

Students were wonderful most spoke some English 30% fluent, Polish was second language for some

Time Value of money high school concept way ahead of American students

Interpreter only translates, and interprets for real estate, gifted and fun. All slides were in Polish

11 days not enough time to enjoy this wonderful country with such a tragic history

All roads lead to Rome but world comes to Warsaw, international city

Quiz which city in the world has second largest Polish population? Second only to Warsaw, second only to

Poland has not been a capitalist economy for 20 years yet, people are competent and competitive, and service is superior

Guide said about lack of competition during communist era, new buildings beside modern sky scrapers

Country side still has people plowing with horse drawn plow

Kracow only city not destroyed by the Nazi is a beautiful treasure, castles, cathedrals, and wonderful architecture

People are thin, walk a lot, no fried foods, no to go orders, no drive through windows, small cars four fat guys would not fit

Concentration camps is chilling beyond all possible imagination of how cruel we can be to each other
