Day 2
This morning, we had an information session at Warsaw School of Economics or SGH in short (pronounced as As-Geh-Har). Instead of staying on after the break for some lecture, my Singaporean friend and I joined the Koreans for lunch at Oriental Bar, a Vietnamese eatery just around the corner from the school. Had curry chicken rice, cost 10 PLN (around 5 SGD), not exactly that cheap, but check out the serving portion and you’ll see it’s well worth it.



That was my lunch and dinner


After that, we headed back to school for an organised tour around Warsaw. Although it lasted merely 3 hours, it was pretty good as it gave us a glimpse of Warsaw, and a glimmer of hope that this seemingly dreary looking place can be quite a gem.



The moment we walked past the row of tall bushes, we found ourselves right at the entrance of Park Lazienkowski, staring at the ponderous Sculpture of Frederic Chopin. It was a marvellous sight since it caught most of us by surprise.



Exactly what plants do they grow in the park, it got us all high.






Me and those green headed mallard ducks you see in story books.



Saw this along the way on the bus, it's quite a mouthful.



Stare Miasto, also known as Old Town, my favourite part of the tour




Notice how the person can make the picture look even better




Sir Stamford Raffles in Old Town? Or Statue of Liberty in Esther's case.









Ice cream. 1.50 zloty for one scoop, that’s only 75cents SGD!
