> Wrocław is a city of about 700,000 inhabitants in south-western Poland. 
> Until 1945 it was known by its German name of Breslau. Since the Middle 
> Ages, it has been a melting pot of Poles, Germans, Czechs and Jews, as 
> wonderfully described by the British historian Norman Davies in his book 
> “Microcosm - Portrait of a Central European City”. It is the city where I 
> was born and where my sister still lives. Tuesday was her birthday, so my 
> wife and I went there for a few days, taking advantage of the direct 
> Ryanair flight from Alicante. The city is changing rapidly, it is one of 
> the booming parts of the New Europe. But there are still many reminders of 
> the Communist past and indeed of the German past before that. I used to 
> not think much of this place, but recent visits, and especially this one, 
> have given me an appreciation of the vibrancy and vitality of this city. 
> Here is a small sample of what the place looks like:
