Poland Day Two

Yesterday most of our student competitors arrived and I spent the day in the lobby hanging out with the other Microsoft folks and waiting for the students to arrive. Across the square from our hotel is one of the main event venues: the Palace of Culture. We are setting up an outdoor theater in front of the main entrance for our Opening Ceremonies tonight. The palace is built right at the corner of the famous Ghetto where the Polish Jews were forced to lived and then eventually exterminated in 1943 by the Nazis. In the evening, people hang out in the surrounding parks. One street musician playing a tuba had a very interesting approach to his music.
