Reflection Task 2

Last year, I went to Poland. I liked Polish Culture in terms of architecture and cuisine. Firstly, Poland has a lot of historical places, castles and churches. Second World War affected Poland in various ways. Now the Nazi Camps are shown the world as a reminder of what happened in the past years in Auschwitz. These places had tough situations, such as wars, weather conditions etc., and witnessed lots of historical events. But most of them were able to be rescued by restoration. I admired the castles because they still have the beauty of those times when Kings and Queens lived. Krakow is seen as the ancient capital of Poland because it has Sukiennice (cloth-hall) which attracts tourist from all around the world. Majority of Polish people are Catholic so their churches are designed suitable to their religion. Poland is also famous for its salt mines. Secondly, the cuisine of Poland includes kielbasa, pyzy, kopytka, pierogi and much more delicious foods. They have some traditional soups which have mushrooms and tomatoes as their ingredients. Their understanding of soup is different from Turkish people because they usually add ingredients without slicing tiny pieces. The most famous drink of Poland is vodka. On Christmas Eve, Polish people serve a kind of non-alcoholic drink whose name is Susz which includes dried fruits, generally apples, apricots and figs. As far as I observed they consumed a great amount of black coffee through a day. And they also have a huge variety of herbal tea which I like the most. Consequently, I liked the culture of Poland and suggest everyone to go and visit the historical places and taste traditional foods.
