A walk in "A" Park.
Warsaw has many parks, therefore the title "A". I could not name any yet. Believe me there are plenty of them, the size of many blocks in Beirut. Not to compare, it just is a real treat to be here if you like a walk in the park on a moderately nice day. I was told to wait a bit longer(the coming weeks i guess) and the spring will be here(for real). That means my friends if you happen to be here, you will see nothing in those parks but big old green trees, birds, ducks, and people. When i came to warsaw the first time i did not understand anything. When i came back in december for the third time, i still did not understand much. Except that as far as the weather went, you did not really care to look around much in the grey capital. Now i can say that i understand a bit the importance of good weather for people in this city. It makes them smile, put on less clothes, walk more instead of jamming along each other in crowded public transportation. So yes parks will have people when the weather is nice. I decided today(Monday) to get lost in the city. I started walking and then i got to "A" park, as i am walking i decided to share this observation with you, not sure why or whether i could make it a generalization;however my friends, i saw a bunch of grandmothers either sitting there alone, or with their dogs, and a few were pushing their nieces and nephews in strollers around, while crows(famous in this city) flew over with their shrieking high pitch cries. It seemed to me that while the city outside the park seem to have its own reality, the life of those i saw inside revolves around the trees and benches.
