A certain countess is apt to say that if you want to see the true Poland you must leave Poland behind. How does that make sense one might wonder? East my dear boy! East to the lost borderlands of the Serene Noble Republic - east to the cities of Vilnius and Lvov, the rolling steppes of Podolia, the mighty River Niemen...
It would certainly make for a fine journey, but if time is cruel, you can still come to Jarema to sample the spirit of 'Kresy' - the borderlands. White borsch, Lithuanian lamb chops followed by Nougat in the Lvov style, not to mention their famous pierogi - it's all rather mouthwatering. Served up in a manorial atmosphere, with soulful music groups adding that crucial dose of sweet melancholia, Jarema is worth a try.
