In cities large and small, I saw lots of cranes erecting new buildings. Many, many roads were under constructions (and they need it, no doubt!). Every where it seemed like new buildings were going up. As a matter of fact, I saw little evidence of a recession such as we&#8217;re having in the US. Our tour guide pretty much validated this, telling us that even in the midst of a recession, Poland was the one country in the EU (European Union) that had not lost ground.<\/p>\n<p>I recently came upon this You Tube clip on another Poland blog I frequent. It&#8217;s called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JC4xh1bO7ww\">The Animated Guide to Polish Success<\/a>. It&#8217;s only a bit over 6 minutes, is in English, is very well done, and is entertaining. Now in truth, it is a bit propagandish and I believe somewhat overstates the case for the booming Polish economy. Yet it contains a lot of truth as well. I think it is well worth your time to see. And, it&#8217;s quite entertaining. Give it a look and let me know what you think. You might even learn something.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was in Poland, one thing I noticed was the building boom.
