DAY 4 - Lodz

Mariona's visit was a great opportunity for me to visit the places in my city I've never visited before, or I visited many years ago. That motivated me to read about these places and know them better, so few more visits of foreigners and I will be a very good guide :)

The Faculty of Management
The University Library

The Faculty of Geographical Sciences
Inside The Great Theatre
Street Market :D

Poznanski's Palace

Backyard of the palace

Manufaktura - the greatest shopping mall in Poland, situated in the revitalised textile factory.

Manufaktura - there are not only shops, but hotel, cinema, restaurants, pubs and clubs, sport centers. In the middle there is huge square, when the weather is nice, it's great place to hang out.
Inside the mall

The special "trams" are running, as the market in manufaktura is very vast. Some prefer not to walk to much :)
Mariona laughing at our fake palm trees :)
We ate polish dumplings - Pierogi in a restaurant which specializes in making pierogi. Cooks can be watched during their work.

Later on we watched the exhibition "Earth from above", pictures made by Yann Arthus-Bertrand.



standing on our countries :)

Below - photos from the main street in Lodz, called Piotrkowska (during occupation the street was called Adolf Hittler's Street, and the city was called Litzmanstaadt).

The peculiarity of Piotrkowska Street - rickshaws :)

Yes, that's what was some time ago in our Mc Donalds - to go to the toilette you had to be a client of fast food.. quite funny :)
