I remember being a guest in a polish family on Christmas 1989. We brought oranges from Italy for the trip. We didn't think it was going to be a great gift for them. They hadn't managed to get oranges that year. It was literally another world for us 18 years old naive kids from a western country. A love story with Poland started that day, which brought me to endless travels around the country and learning the language. I never needed to stay in a Hotel. Always at friends. Most welcoming people on earth.
