Chinese restaurants are just starting to make inroads in Gdansk and the few that are here are very exclusive. We visited one today and had a fantastic, authentic Chinese dinner. The restaurant is located right on the beach in Sopot, one of the three towns which melded into one Tri-City. Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia are the most important places on the Polish Baltic Coast. Gdynia is a vibrant port city with merchant ships docking daily, and Marine Academies unrivaled in this part of Europe. Sopot is a tourist town with a beautiful, wide white sand beach, great promenade jutting into the sea, and many galleries, cafes and places to visit. Its turn-of-the-century resort town architecture is sweet and very pretty. Every weekend thousands of people come to walk the main drag and to sit in the outdoors cafes to watch the passersby. It's a sport of sorts which is religiously adhered to by many citizens of the Tri-City.

Magdalena,
A wonderful narrative of your travels!
Your descriptions have been causing my stomach to growl and long for the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of your homeland.
Chad and Michelle did take my mind off the Polish offerings tonight with a fabulous 2-garlic/rosemary/Hempler's Bacon/roast/Chateau Bequette Cab this evening.
Love your writing and photographs! Post, post, post!
