How this place changed my life

I only found the painting the Last Judgement by Memling several months ago through Google answer… and it’s weird to see it here again! I lived in Gdnask for a few years when I was younger, and I don’t remember if we went to the museum to actually see this or if it was on a postcard (although I have a feeling I may have seen it live) but it made such a strong impression on me, and I saw it again 15 years later! My memories of Poland are actually pretty vivid—even though I was very young. I can even recall smells, and sounds and colours because I guess you are very impressionable at that age. One thing that I remember in particular is going through some sort of woods in the afternoon to get to the beach where we would walk for hours. And the swans…! And our neighbors… The daycare… the hospital… the market, the buildings, the churches… the old women selling fruit… I heard from someone who went back later that it has changed a lot. But nonetheless, I’d love to go back, I’d love to find those people, I’d love to see this city which has almost become a dream entity to me.
