What main languages are spoken here?:

Polish is the most common language.  Many people also speak English.

What type of money is used here?:

They have their own type of money called the zloty in Poland.  It is different from the money that is used in the rest of Europe.  One dollar from the United States is about equal to four Zloty.  Many things are cheaper for me here than in the United States.

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

A bottle of water is pretty cheap here, and typically only costs about 50 cents.

What was the best meal this week?:

Potato pancakes, which are finely-shredded potatos mixed with onions and formed into the shape of pancakes. Then, they are fried.

What music did I listen to this week?:

I mostly listened to some of my own favorite music while on the airplane.  I hope to listen to some more traditional Polish music over the coming months. I really hope to listen to music by Frederic Chopin.  He was one of the best piano composers in history, and he is from Warsaw, Poland.  There is even a museum here in Warsaw for Chopin.

What activity was the most fun this week?:

I really liked visiting the Palace of Culture and Science.  This is the tallest building in Poland and I was able to go to the top!  There was a great view.
