Warsaw: The new star in the night sky

A small passageway on the Nowy S'wiat leads into a courtyard: neon lights, graffiti, old posters; rock music from the left, electro beats three steps further on, tiny bars like public living rooms, cheerful confusion. Young people drink and smoke, talk and laugh, without a dress code or thoughts of tomorrow. "Pawilony" is the name of this microcosm of the night in perhaps the most exciting capital city in Europe: Warsaw, grown from ruins - into an underdog metropolis with a skyline.
