Very nice to read your post Karolina..... You have very good idea to present about your lovely city and culture. That's fine. I want to see your city and other beautiful places in your place. And then I'll show you again. :) . Thank you Karolina. bye

hi Karolina and nice to meet you agian at yours second writing.
it is a quite interesting writing that provided me and everyone with useful informations about Warsaw. i specially like the name Warsaw meaning Wars and Sawa. self-name of it showed that it is a fully romantic and poetic city. after reading your interesting topic, i was curious about Warsa how it looks and i reached for its images on Google. and the result ? i am really amazing, it is really beautiful. it is not only beautiful with concerned legends but also nice with scenes and architecturea such as Lazienki park, Royal Castle and Old Town with stone paved roads and so on. Thank you for your writing. i like it.

and a information doesn't concern this topic at all is that in the next time i am going to having a new job and where i would work is highland area. there is quite poor and deprived. i think so. and i may not regularly discuss with all of you. it is really bad.

Karolina! i read both of your writing. it is easy to understand and interesting. it would be a great honour if i could make friend with you and everyone.
Please sent to me your informations and news, the topics, your activities and so on. i would reply as soon as possible, Karolina and all you.

Best wishes for you!

Hi Karolina,

Thank you for writing this blog and informing us about the 'legends' behind the name of your capital city, it helped removing my ignorance.

I would be eagerly looking forward to your next blog.

Best Wishes,
Rajeeb

Hi Karolina,

Interesting information about your capital city, I really enjoyed reading it. Rajeeb was clever to pick up on the name of your capital city and you explained it well. I would also like to know about the number of languages spoken in Poland, the religion in Poland, and more about the food in Poland.

Have a great weekend

Hi Karolina,
I've thoroughly read your post and I found it really really informative.I have to say I'm a new member on communicate section,but not on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ website,of course.It's absolutely a nice idea to share these lovely materials worldwide,isn't it?

Hi,

I wonder from which town you come..? I must say that the south of Poland is known to me pretty well, but about such bridge I did not hear (the quite good riddle)... I wait anxiously for the following entry.

Nice article

I m happy to read this topic i new learner from India.

Hi, Karolina, nice to meet you here on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ LE :) Thanks for telling us a legend of Wars and Saw, its such a romantic story ^^

Urban legends, huh) I love them) Probably, every city has at least one. In my native city, Donetsk, we have plently of them, too. One of the most popular says that at the midnight large statue of a miner, that holds a big piece of coal (people usially call him "a man with a brick", not very respectful after all :)) ) shifts his load to his other arm and back))

And plus one to those who requested devil's bridge's photos. I'm really curious about it)

Best wishes from Ukraine)

Hi,
im new here. this is my first time to read your post. it is very informative and interesting.

Hi Karolina

Your lovely depictions about local urban legends inpired me to share with you another one linked to our capital city, Budapest.

’Buda-Pest’ is originated from the fusion of two different cities as its name presents situated on the both sides of Danube River – its position is very similar to the situation of London and Thames.
The first permanent bridge was opened in 1849 named Chain Bridge. It became a symbol of the linkage between East and West. At both ends of the bridge there are some guardian stone lions those tongues are missing.

At the Buda-end of it four years after the completion of the bridge a tunnel was opened which leads through under the Buda Castle. Its length is approximately identical to that of the Chain Bridge, prompting anecdotes to which the tunnel has only been built so that in rainy weather, the Chain Bridge can be shoved in and be protected from wet conditions.

So when it is raining do not be sure that this bridge is located over the Danube but can be found in the tunnel.

Have a nice day for all of you.

Hi

I prefer Warsaw coming from the first story of a man and a mermaid, it sound romantic and eager to be followed up :D For the devil bridge have you a chance to walk alone by midnight.... booo booooo, it make me terrify about its name.

^_^

Helo Karolina,
I am also a Pole and I live in Warsaw too. Therefore I would like to add some short comments to enrich your text about the city. The legend of Wars and Sawa is a bit tricky, because Sawa is actually an old slavic ... male name (!) with all the cosequences for the story. As for the passage about the Royal Castle one can understand that Swedish and Russian troops devastated it during the WWII which is untrue. Swedish and Russian armies occupied Warsaw in the XVII and XVIII, XIX and XX centuries respectively. The Swedish were protestant so they plundered the whole city, especially catholic churches. But I don't know the case Russian armies plundered the city or the demolished the Royal Castle.

Jacek
