I was surprised, when I saw on Chorzów's map that a little sewage is called 'Suez Canal'. But the name is official. I am posting this photo today, because there are last days of 'Suez Canal' in Chorzów. (The sawages will be hidden.)
And it goes all the way to Egypt! Amazing. I saw the Canal once in Bur Said, and it was much larger. But the color and the smell were the same. Therefore, I gather it must be the same thing.
Chorzów[ˈxɔʐuf] is a city in Silesia (coordinates: 50°18′N 18°57′E), southern Poland with around 114,680 (2006) inhabitants and an area of 33.5 km². Chorzów is situated on the Rawa river on the Silesian Highland in the heart of the Upper Silesian Industrial Area, 7 km north-west of Katowice. Chorzów is in the middle of Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union, the largest legally-recognized urban entity in Poland with a population of 2.2 mln. The population of the urban area in the conurbation around Chorzów is about 3.5 million. (From Wikipedia.)
I notice it even has that chocolate greenish color of sewage too. So the name is appropriate after all.
ReplyDeleteHehe great name:)
