Shopping and eating in Poznan

Det kan godt være at der er steder i Polen, hvor vejene er elendige (gode veje er virkelig noget vi tager for givet i Danmark!), men på shopping-fronten er de helt klart med! Jeg tror Martyna sagde, at der er 8 storcentre i Poznan ;) Vi var i 3 af dem. Okay, vi har måske også mange centre rundt omkring i Danmark, men jeg synes sgu de fleste af dem er ret ens og kedelige...

Det første vi besøgte var Stary Browar, som var en flot industriel og arkitektonisk bygning med kunst, butikker og spisesteder :)

Some roads in Poland might be awful (good roads are really something we take for granted in Denmark!), but when it comes to shopping they're not behind! I think Martyna said that there are 8 shopping malls in Poznan ;) We went to 3 of them. Well okay, we might also have a lot of malls in Denmark, but I do think they all look alike and are quite boring...

The first one we visited was Stary Browar which was a beautiful industrial and architectural building with art, shops and restaurants :)

Så var vi i Galeria Malta, som mest af alt mindede mig om et amerikansk mall med flere etager, åbne butikker i midtergangene, og en hel etage med diverse fastfoodkæder og restauranter i konkurrence side om side og en biograf - I loved it ;) Der var mange butikker, som vi ikke har i Danmark, og det var jo kun et plus ;) Der var mange gode high street mærker som Bershka, Pull&Bear, Reserved, Zara og mange flere, og det var bare et fedt sted til shopping! 

Then we went to Galeria Malta that most of all reminded me of an American mall with numerous floors, shops in the hallways, and a whole floor with fast food chains and restaurants competing side by side and a movie theater - I loved it ;) There were many stores that we don't have in Denmark, and that was only a plus ;) There were lots of great high street brands like Bershka, Pull&Bear, Reserved, Zara and many more, and it was just a great place for shopping!

 A great view from the "food floor"

Til sidst var vi i Factory, som er et outlet storcenter, hvor man kunne gå i butikker, som vi kender dem, men med varer til meget billigere penge. Her kunne man virkelig gøre sig et kup!! Jeg var virkelig begejstret for alle disse centre... Det var i hvert fald en anderledes shoppingoplevelse end i Danmark...

At last we went to Factory which is an outlet mall where you walk into stores as we know them, but all their stuff is cheap :) You could really do some bargain shopping here!! I was really excited about all of these malls... It's another shopping experience than in Denmark that's for sure...

I morgen vil jeg vise jer, hvad jeg købte ;)

Tomorrow I'll show you what I bought ;)

Btw we also went to a HUGE Tesco! Had to snap a panorama picture of this place ;)

 Så var der maden!! Mad er MEGET billigt i Polen i forhold til danske priser!! Den første aften betalte vi 90 zl for mad og drikke til 3 personer - det er under 180 kr.!! Damn! For at sætte dette i perspektiv kan jeg fortælle at jeg betalte 30 kr. for en flaske vand(!) i Københavns lufthavn - OMG det jo latterligt ;)

Jeg spiste virkelig godt i Polen. Den første aften var det mexikansk og fantastisk kage til dessert. Så var det lækker pizza og kylling og mere dessert! Og så fik vi også lækker hjemmelavet mad, som Martynas kæreste tryllede frem! Skønt!

Then there's the food!! Food is VERY cheap in Poland compared to the Danish prices (which are ridiculous)!! So you can imagine my excitement ;)

I had a lot of great food in Poland. The first night it was mexican and amazing cake for dessert. Then we ate delicious pizza and chicken and more dessert! And we also had a delicious home cooked meal that Martyna's boyfriend cooked for us! Great!

 At the restaurant Bar-a-boo

We also went out for beer at Brovaria - they make their own beer - and even though I don't like beer, this was a great place because they served beer-drinks ;)

A home cooked meal, snacks and "hygge" :)
