In Warsaw After a Busy Month
It's been a busy month! We took some time to close up shop in Bangkok, spent a week visiting family in Toronto, another week working and conferencing in New York, and finally landed in Warsaw. Here are a few images, starting with the most recent, to give you a sense of where we are -- and where we've been:
The Communist icon, the Palace of Culture as seen from "Centrum" in downtown WarsawThe "palace" was built in Warsaw under communist occupation, by Stalin as a way of reminding everyone who was really in charge. There was a lot of talk of demolishing it, but pragmatists argued convincingly that it was just too useful of a building to destroy and replace. The joke goes: Where can you get the best view in Warsaw? From the Palace of Culture. Why? Because you don't have to look at it.
