Strange title, but that is apparently the translation that the movie Dirty Dancing recieved when it arrived in Poland.
I've been here for a little over a week now, and so far it's pretty cool. To begin with it's a relief on the wallet, which is welcome after being shafted for so long in the western countries. In many ways this is the type of Europe that i wanted to see, not the clean and shiny false image of the germanic scandinavian countries. Though i love Stockholm and Norway, the sense of history in those countries ( real history) is virtually non existant, whereas the same cannot be said for Poland, which is a strange phenomena when you consider the fact that they were bombed to hell in WW2 and pretty much lost the vast majority of their historical and social references. Everyday seems to find some strange idiosyncracy in Poland that leaves me with a smile. After hearing Eve rag on her home country for so long i was expecting to go wandering in a bog filled by homeless derelicts and pidgeon ladies. This is not the case.
Funny things to mention though are Eve's fathers behaviour... hahaha talk about anxiety. I always forget that it's possible for someone to shift from laughter to bowel clenching nervousness and anger within a second. We went quickly (and i do mean quickly) to the markets in Warsaw yesterday, i managed to grab a couple of games, and then we were quickly rushed out to the park to see squirrels whether we wanted to or not hehehe, needless to say they were cute, arguments ensued and food was the solution. FOOD SAVES THE DAY!!!!
So anyway i think i'm getting the flu again and it's going to be pretty rough on me i think because i'm feeling vaguely dizzy all the time and my head is clogged. Tonight i'll probably write a lot more.
