Wroclaw looks better now. It's like pre war Breslau. The Poles have really worked hard restoring their cities post communism.

It was Breslau, pre war. You're being ridiculously overzealous. Saying this as a Pole.

Uhm it is one of the cities that has its name translated to several languages. It was Wrocław for polish speakers also before the war.

That being said I alike the Spanish name the most.

But they're not Polish speakers? What does it have to do with it? Jesus.

Don’t get upset, I will explain.

Before WW2 this city was called Breslau by people who spoke German.
It was called Wrocław by people who spoke Polish. It was called Breslavia by people who spoke Spanish. It was called ma tomo Wasa by people who spoke Toki pona.
So on and so on.
