just realized something, duuuurrrrr! what did I put in my profile here? that it's a place where I want to tell you things about places I've been to or places I AM to. which means? hello!
I took a short walk around my workplace today and I found so many amazing places - amazing like off-places, not amazing like the Louvre - I had no idea they're there. important things is this - they don't have to 'beautiful' or 'breath-taking', they're simply there, they strike as you walk pass
and obviously enough I didn't have my camera on me. thank god for going to work tmr!
wait a couple more hours for the pictures to arrive, for the time being you just have to take my word for it

can't help it - clouds again

seriously, I just can't help it! If I could, I'd just be staring at the wonderful Warsaw sky all day long. Am I getting sentimental? Who knows, but I definitely now know what I missed all those summerswhen I went abroad missing out on THIS.
You probably think Warsaw, you think the lousy Pałac Kultury, well, no more. From now on you think Warsaw, you think WONDERFUL CLOUDS. Just look at it, I didn't even mess up with any photo processing, honestly, that's what I really saw from my window yesterday evening. Maybe that's where wedding photographers get their inspiration while shooting those freaking tacky studio photos.
Okidoe, check it out for yourselves

warsaw, you should get to know the city - why don't we start with places closest to me?

there we go: a post-communist building (Smyk@ Al.Jerozolimskie) reflecting one of nicely-renovated old-fashioned buildings (@bracka) in warsaw






next:
it's not my personal favorite but i'm glad we have it in warsaw, you can see what having no tripod does to your shot, anyway, we're in the center of warsaw, just off the Poniatowskiego bridge, next to empik megastore, a popular meeting place for young varsovians who hit the town@ 7pm and scurry home no later than 11pm, leaving the city deserted even on weekends, or maybe i'm being unfair, after all, i'm the worst party animal you've ever known

culture shock

i was just thinking - what struck me most after coming back home?
no 1 - well-dressed people, with all due respect to my american friends i was simply amazed at what ppl look like in poland, the first time i went to the city I was just amazed! no PJs, no tacky sneakers, no folders sticking out of over-sized bags. dunno, it just looked so good and civilized, did the fact that it was the law faculty have anything to do with it? ;P

the other thing was this:
dunno, were there no clouds in chicago, or what?
