During my travels through Europe I've seen one or two celebrities (or former celebrities) in some rather unusual places. I don't include seeing Placebo in Warsaw or The Smashing Pumpkins in Berlin (Visit#2) because I paid to see them. So who have I ... Read more >

I've been uploading photos into photobucket all day. It takes forever, I'm nowhere near finished. It will take me a while to sort everything out but in the meantime here are a few. Enjoy. Okay, the computer is being stupid ... Read more >

I do actually have a really good reason for looking forward to my birthday. Only nine days after I'll be seeing one of my most favourite people in the whole wide world. My little younger brother is coming to visit! I just found out that my mother ... Read more >

This week has been really weird. I went to The Warsaw Uprising Museum last Sunday but it feels like I went yesterday. It's like the past week never happened. I can live with that. Now for my first real work-related rant: I imagine that next week ... Read more >

I'm still trying to work out how to reply to comments. It's not as straight forward as it should be ... I'll try to investigate some more on the weekend :/

I've got 9 days holiday in May and I do not want to spend them in Warsaw. The only other place I was considering in Poland was Gdansk but apparently that's where everyone in Warsaw is going (maybe I'll go there over Easter, although it will probably ... Read more >

As some of you will know one thing I truely hate, something that has on several occasions nearly made me throw up, is spitting. Spitting does not seem to bother many Poles. In fact it seems to be a national sport. I didn't think anyone would ever ... Read more >

Luckily, my first full week of holidays was followed by the winter holidays. Two weeks of paid vacation, yay! I'm not sure how I would have coped if I didn't get that break. I was invited to go to Krakow with some of the other native teachers for ... Read more >

Catching a bus during peak hour is always in interesting experience. The people in Warsaw could really teach the Japanese a thing or two about cramming people into confined spaces. Yesterday, I had to go to a training session on something that was ... Read more >

Well I've been in Poland for about three weeks now and I'm still trying to work out what exactly I've gotten myself into. Everything is so - well to be banal – foreign. The landscape, the architecture, the weather, the food, the language, especially ... Read more >
