We gave up on The Four Seasons (the series, not the concerto) after two episodes, finding it silly and glib. Though I did enjoy the dinner scene when the three couples are discussing vacation ideas and someone suggests Warsaw. "The New York Times says Poland is the new Portugal."
I was delighted by this evidence that my favorite country is finally getting its due. (Even though a google search turned up no such quote from the Times.) And, naturally, I thought: the more interest in Poland, the better for my memoir. But I would not like Warsaw to be overrun with tourists the way that Lisbon now is. As a flat, often overcast city far from the sea - and close to Russia - it probably doesn't have to worry too much about massive popularity.
