On the Ukrainian Border

One of the strange experiences we had during our tenure in Poland was locking our keys in the car when we had stopped at the Polish-Ukrainian Border (near Przemyƛl). We felt like we were being watched. The border still had multiple fences and guard towers --  straight from the Cold War. We had stopped to see a WWI bunker. We got a peak inside the bunker, but going inside it was unsafe. It was certainly not meant for tourists to visit. But it was cool, imagining it had been used during the first world war.
