Chopin Heart

 Indeed, we often live somewhere, and our heart lives somewhere else. Like, my favorite city in this world is Edinburgh. Edinburgh is mysterious!

It is said that Frédéric Chopin, the Polish composer, asked his heart be taken to Poland on his death. On his death in Paris, his eldest sister Ludwika Jędrzejewicz, secretly smuggled it in a jar of alcohol to Warsaw. It is buried beneath a monument in the Holy Cross Church.
