Manufaktura, the biggest attraction of Lodz, is a big compound of malls, restaurants, two museums, a hotel, clubs, and Cinema City. We once went to watch a movie in Cinema City, althought the film was not especially nice, it was good to see what a real cinema is, the screen was so huge one couldn't cover the whole of it in his field of view without moving his head ! Yet the sound was disturbing in some action scenes, a bit of normalization would've done better.
There are things i will not forget about Lodz, all are naturally linked to the cs_ers i met. I've been taught juggling in Lodz, it's one of the things leaving such good impression on you that they make you take decisions such as i will do my best to highly improve my skills and go back there someday especially to impress my masters.
In Lodz i also learned to play Poker, in the dorms i was heading to my room some night and found a group of IAESTE friends having placed two tables in the hallway and were playing Poker. I had some idea that there were tactics in that game, but i have been deceived when i realized it was just another card game highly and essentially based on luck. We surely didn't play on money, but i developed some possessiveness over my nice looking tokens during the game, and it helped feeling how easy, stupid and irresponsible it was to lose one's real money over such an infantile game.

We once gathered a group and went to a forest bordering Lodz, it was a rainy day so it was brief and then we decided to have lunch. We were all very hungry and agreed we won't wait to return to the city, instead we would try that fancy restaurant in the middle of the forest. The fact is among the many times i decided to try spending unreasonable money on food in the hope it would be worth it, i was never satisfied. Turns out the more the food is expensive, the less valuable it is. That fancy Polish restaurant did make no exception, so what was worth was making sure of it. There was a Swiss among us, he said the prices were comparable to a Mc Donalds in Switzerland ! No wonder it was a very good thing i went to Poland and not a western european country, as it happens, later i found out even Italy was already very expensive.
But all in all, i wouldn't say i'm habilitated to comment about the polish food being established it's mainly based on meat and that i couldn't eat meat back there.
