Polish Parliament

A few days ago we visited the Polish Parliament. Here is a little run down of how it works:

There are two houses: The Sejm and the Senate.

The Sejm is the low house and it was 460 members. We saw the chamber. It is a emerald/sea green with a huge Polish type flag on the wall (awesome looking). Althought this is the lower chamber, it has all the power.

The Senate is the upper house, and it was 100 members. This chamber was not very nice looking - it was a small room that was dark blue and not very welcoming. Though the Senate is the upper house, it has very little power. It is more symbolic from the aristocratic and nobility.

It was awesome being there!


We are now in the Baltic Sea area. We ate at Pizza Hut today, because we could not overcome the language barrier to be able to tell what we were ordering at the local shops. Tomorrow we are touring the three cities in this area and then going out for a hosted traditional dinner!
