We spent two evenings in this cultural capital. On the first evening we enjoying the local cuisine; more dumplings, although these were very different to those in Poland and very unlike any yum cha plate. It also included a buffet of every style of pork - ham, sausage, cutlet etc etc. The evening was finished off by heading to a local free music festival, where we enjoyed the russian rock/jazz tunes of Russkaja (think of a Russian version of The Cat Empire mixed with Metallica).
The next day we joined a walking tour and discovered the history behind this beautiful city. We saw the famous Opera House, Astronomical Clock and beautifully set city Palace. The afternoon was spent on a rare shopping spree as we bought some new items for our very well worn wardrobe. The evening brought more local dishes, mostly pork, and a deliscious local beer.

Bye for now,
