Me and Maciek in front of City Hall.
Old Town. This is actually not the original Old Town since that was blown to shit by Nazis. Most of this city isn't original. It's really sad.
Cute little buildings in Old Town.
We went to the Warsawa CCA (Centre of Contemporary Art) where Magda used to work. The exhibit was on the blocks, or those Communist-looking apartment buildings that are just stacks and stacks of homes that look exactly the same. Like the ones in Seoul. Those are called blocks. The exhibit was great.
Then we walked around some park where the peacocks are. The bad thing about visiting people and having a friend show you around in a foreign country is that you never really know what things are called or how you got there versus when you are alone in a country with a tour book, you're really aware of where you are at all times. When you're with a friend, you can just trust that they know where you are.
Peacock mating ritual. The girl peacock seemed really disinterested.
We went to the Wu Tang Clan concert on Thursday night. It was held here, which is a really tacky ugly building, but it's a small venue and there's a lot of outdoor space to drink and hang out. It was pretty cool.
Wu Tang Clan took 2 hours before they finally came on stage. It really sucked. Then they did a 90-minute set. Anyhow, right before Wu Tang took the stage, I had the brilliant idea of pushing through the crowd to get to the front. But then Wu Tang hit the stage and the crowd went CRAZY. Especially since these guys were standing around for 2 hours waiting and the place wasn't air conditioned. Thing is, I'm 5'3 and I wear flats now since I live in London, and Polish boys are way taller than me. I seriously almost died. Magda saw the pure panic on my face and we decided to move to the way back.
Much safer from back here.
Concert was okay. I'm not a Wu Tang fan or anything and neither is Magda. We just thought it'd be fun to go. We couldn't go to the afterparty though because Magda forgot her I.D. and they wouldn't let her in without it.
Here's me at the Warsaw Uprising Museum.
My cameras been acting up the whole time I was in Warsaw so I didn't get many pictures. The ones above are just mine, but I'll put up some pictures from Magda and Maciek later. For now though, I'm in London about to get ready to go to Bangkok tonight. :D Keep posted for my round the world trip.
