Fulbright > The Church of Saint Rocha and Saint Jana Chrzciciela in Brochów. Frederic Chopin, Poland's most famous and beloved classical composer was baptized here and his parents were married here. - Jeremi Bigosinski

Fulbright > The park next to St. Rocha's. Legend has it that Chopin was inspired by the Mazovian breezes, such as seen here. - Jeremi Bigosinski

Fulbright > The Bzura River near Brochów. It was near here that the Battle of Bzura (WWII) was fought. - Jeremi Bigosinski

Fulbright > A barn near the Vistula River. This is typical construction for much of Mazovian farmland. -Jeremi Bigosinski

Fulbright > Honeybees soaking in the sun near the Vistula River. Beeswax is an important ingredient for lost wax metal casting and the wax from these bees are commonly used as opposed to the more modern equivalents. Primarily because it's cheaper and, as a material, easier to obtain. It also doesn't hurt to support the local communities. - Jeremi Bigosinski

Fulbright > A typical "dzialka", or, a small plot of land for subsistence farming. Knowing someone who has one of these allows you to eat 100% organic strawberries, plums, apples, potatoes, beets, onions, etc. - Jeremi Bigosinski

Fulbright > A goat grazing on the walls of a former military Fort turned summer restaurant in Warszawa. No, the goat is not on the menu :) - Jeremi Bigosinski

Fulbright > Snails. It may not look appetizing, but it's actually delicious. It's similar in taste to Shrimp Scampi. At the Restaurant at the Royal Castle in Warszawa. - Jeremi Bigosinski

Fulbright > We all had our week-long Fulbright Orientation here, in the 19th century industrial city of Łódź, Poland's second largest city (~770k). This is a view looking down on Piotrowska Street, apparently the longest commercial street in the world (7km). - Jeremi Bigosinski
