Poland being a "poor country" is a common misconception spread by certain areas of the press (ie Daily Mail). The truth is that Poland is considered a high-income economy that is growing at a fast rate and the country has a high standard of living. And in my experience Polish people are some of the hardest workers!

I'm Polish and I live and work in UK. When I came to England for the first time I was surprised how underdeveloped, backward this country is. I was shocked by depravation, poverty, poor quality of healthcare, education, public transportation, infrastructure, housing and many other problems. Sometimes it looks like a Third World, honestly. And I'm not trying to be rude, I just like truth.
I was always thinking that UK is like Poland but ten times better, because it has stronger currency, bigger economy, etc. Well it's not.
Funny thing is many locals here believe their country is the best in everything because imirgants come here from other countries. Well-it's not.
For most of us (I mean those who came from Europe, not Third World) it's just stronger currency which allows us to buy a property in our country without mortgage.
Stronger currency doesn't mean it's a better, more developed country and most of my life I used to think the opposite.

What you call “these old buildings” are actually pieces of architecture that represent the history of my city of Warsaw. There are different “old buildings”- some are from pre war times, some are communist concrete cubes, called “wielka plyta”.This kind of apartment buildings were constructed the cheap, with low quality materials, also using asbestos and many unhealthy materials. But the brick buildings from pre WWII times are precious and remind of the beauty of Warsaw those days.
There is no reason to demolish and replace everything what is old. The city has its important history, and those buildings stand for it. They are going to be renovated eventually and maintain in good condition.
There is so much to see in Poland, but my city is the closest to my heart.
Enjoy your sightseeing !
