May 2022
We came here on foot straight from Czechia
City, design, inscriptions - everything is immediately different
"Czech spirit" ends very quickly
Gets more fun. This is straight up some kind of Brno
On the central square tons of people, life, trampolines
Lots of greenery. The grocery store is called "Leviathan"
Vibe, in short, completely different
The greenery catches the eye
New road signs (for example, crooked bed)
Inscriptions (this, for example, is a hospital)
This is the city center
Doors covering gas - there's no such thing in Czechia
And this
Solar panels everywhere start appearing, and most importantly, stores non-standard for Czechia, for example, Intermarché (UG, don't recommend)
Also in the Polish part everything is much livelier, noticeably more people
On houses often the street is written in big letters (in an Eastern crooked and half-assed way)
Everywhere #00ff00
The playing children sign here is ugly, more like soccer (in Czechia, in my opinion, the most elegant - there it's unclear whether it's soccer or basketball depicted, see Písek)
We were here on "children's day", kids were actively hanging out on trampolines
And eating pizza with Nutella (for those who doubt that Europe is fun)
Views
Progress
Ice cream. By the way, "suck me off" in Polish is "zrób mi loda", make me ice cream, like. Not all Poles know, you can send the question to what-where-when.
Not Tide, but Vizir
Biedronka - local cheap store (recommend, buy cow, pies, bread, sour cream)
Remember Cieszyn like this (except the capital K, don't remember that or you'll have nightmares)
Almost all houses are guarded, insurance firms don't worry about design
Oh yes, you're obviously not in Czechia because even in the ass-end of the city here you can buy flowers. Czech women unlike Polish women love with their ears.
Also in the ass-end of the world there are decent graffiti
Sport in central Europe - jokes about their dogs and passive aggression about shit
I'm home
In the Polish part either they're building or renovating several train stations at once
Am I home again?
From the design you can understand the pace of local life
Smoothly going out to nature
Roads, by the way, are top
Nature too
Difference from Czechia is that straight up wilderness wasn't found here, everywhere cottages
Suddenly found an oasis
Park with fountain, stage
Incredibly cozy somehow
Overall conclusion about Cieszyn - the city is lively and pleasant
Yes, everything is falling apart and yes, this is Silesia, no matter how you spin it
But it's directly visible that Poland doesn't give a shit about the city
Soon it'll be better here
But already now there's nothing straight up to complain about
People live to the fullest and for Czechia - that's not often
In the morning schoolchildren actively go to schools
Apparently, Czechs and Poles don't really intersect in the city.
Everyone lives (if you look from the side) very different lives
And I highly recommend visiting Cieszyn, one of the most interesting cities of Czechia-Poland, in my opinion
