problems in communication
by Hildeal
if you're shopping for Silver or souveniers in Lodz it can be quite difficult to communicate with the locals unless you know some Polish or maybe som Russian. even though they know you dont understand them they will still speak Polish. So I would advice you to bring a pointing boook for turists to get what you vant (Especially if you want something in a kiosk) . you could alway use your body language and mime. It would be wise though to learn some basic Polish phrases like the numbers from one to ten and yes and thank you and how much.

'Hollylodz Boulevard' - Lodz is often called 'Hollylodz' because of its famous film academy. Among the former film students are directors like Roman Polanski, Stefan Kisielowski and Andrzej Wajda. While Lodz is not at all like L.A., it also has a 'boulevard of stars' on Piotrkowska street, where you can see the stars dedicated to famous actors, directors and cameramen who used to study or work in Lodz
Poznanski Palace
by sphynxxs
The palace - nowadays a museum - was once built by one of the leading manufacturers of the city, and seeing the splendor of the palace, it is evident that money was not a problem at all! The museum is full of exhibits tracing the history, people, culture and ups and downs of the city, find recreations of daily life from kitchen interiors to sections of streets. There are also a number of silverware and rooms dedicated to many of the city's former inhabitants, including the Łódź's unofficial Rubenstein museum (the only one in the world) remembering the legendary pianist.
