Warsaw is much better than people make it out to be...

I'm in Poland right now. People have always been telling me "don't go to Warsaw, go to Krakow instead." When I say "people," I mean people that I've met along the way travelling here, and Polish people I know back home.
I don't know what that is all about, Warsaw is an amazing city. After I found my hostel (which took an hour of me asking people on a street corner that the hostel was on), I've been really enjoying the city.

I don't really know how to take a picture that shows how cool the city is... so I'll just put another sel-ca picture:
I'm just here for the night and then I make my way to Krakow (also in Poland) tomorrow morning.

In case anybody has been wondering what I do for food... I'm actually living incredibly cheap. And when I say 'incredibly,' I mean stupid cheap. I'm probably living on less than 1 euro per day for food. I manage to get a lot of free food from hostel "leftovers" (when people leave, they dont want to bring the food back with them, so there is usually a 'for free' cupboard). And then I've been buying a lot of rice, oats, granola and pasta in bulk, which keeps me going for a long long long time. And then when I want to make a meal, I'll buy some stuff to go with the pasta (for example) for like 50 euro cents, and I've got myself a meal. The picture is an example of my new specialty: The 20 minute lasagna.
I got a bunch of free lasagna at a hostel - enough for 4 meals of a "family sized portion" (which I eat myself. For example, one meal would be two plates of the above portion. So I buy some pasta sauce and vegetables for 2 euros, and then I'm good for 4 days of dinner.
