Orange Warsaw Festival

Went with friends yesterday, mainly for the Mika show. And it was great to sing out loud all the lyrics under the stage. I had an VIP invitation for the tribune but seems people sitting there had least fun of all so I left (my friends chose to stay, mainly for the closeness of the catering:P).
A peculiar encounter also took place. In the crowd under the stage at some point I looked up and I was standing arm in arm with a CLONE of my ex-boyfriend - same Greek features just with blue eyes. No, I did not take a picture.

In total we spent there 8 hours with a good Nelly Furtado concert at the end.

The weather NOT allowing

So the outdoor event at the outdoor lounge was a disaster as the weather was horrible, rainy, windy and freezing cold so almost noone came. So we left early.And I realised I have no picture of the dresses!

A bike trip around Łochów

We went on several bikes around villages in the area of Łochów, where my best friend's parents live. We survived both a thunderstorm and a massive attack of mosquitos.
Some places, like this shop where all is sooooo cheap, really seem 20 years backward. Not sure if it's good or bad.

A new christian

Another new christian was recently baptised - Sofia - bearing an Orthodox name since she was born in Cyprus. My present were photos from the event. My favourites follow:

Warsaw Rising Museum

I went today to the newest of Warsaw museums - the Warsaw Rising Museum of 1944. And I must say it's one of the best history museums I have seen. The way the 63 days of tragic fighting of civilians is show is very impressive and very moving.
Plus an amaizng 3D movie - reconsruction of the bird eye view of the bombarded city. Here is the trailer (MUST WATCH for anyone who ever has been in Warsaw). 60 years ago there was almost nothing left

Yeey

My dress rental collection (www.pozyczkiecke.blox.pl) is going to exhibit in the "hottest" place of Warsaw this summer (outdoor lounge at the river bank):))))
I was there yesterday with friends, and one of them told the owner that I have a dress rental and she invited me to bring it over next saturday. The parlour is going to move to a prime location :)
