Polish is really hard!

Warsaw is a really interesting city of course my biggest problem here is the language, Polish is really weird to understand but the city is well organized as you would expect of any European capital city and it is not a problem to move around if you have a map or even if you don't have it there are many sign everywhere and most of the young people speak English so you can ask for help in a kiosk or in any store and you will find your way, but if you want to take a glance to some weird polish things about the language look at the next poster.

And we are proud of our tongue twister "Tres tristes tigres...", after hearing this it sound like a joke :P
