Another city, another Indian restaurant. This is the self-imposed travel etiquette strictly adhered to by himself while we are traveling. On a recent trip to Krakow I couldn't really stand in the way of convention since on a previous visit in 2003, we skipped the Indian restaurant we had spotted and waited until Katowice for the curry fix instead.

Nowa Huta was basically a present from Stalin to the working people, those involved in industry and agriculture, from the area around the city. Krakow had always been associated with the intelligentsia, the bourgeoisie, and the first uprisings against Communism in Poland sprang from Krakow. the new city was not to be for people from Krakow but only the surrounding areas. Much of this part of southern Poland had been devastated during the war so Stalin had the idea of building a new city with the industry to employ its inhabitants. At the centre was to be an enormous steelworks; Nowa Huta ...
