Poland

This weekend saw the return of layers upon layers of thermals and the return of the face muff. I went to Poland and actually managed to survive in -15 degree temperatures.

It was COLD people, worse then even Berlin, but it was fun.

We stayed in Warsaw and drank much Polish vodka and beer. We even managed to get a mulled beer in this piano bar we went to. You literally have to be inside drinking all the time because you can't survive out in the cold for longer than ten minutes without having to go and thaw out somewhere. It was too cold to see much but we did go through the old town, watch some people skiing in to a car park and generally marvel at buildings and churches despite having no idea what they were!

This is approaching the Old Town, tis a little snowy.

this is me, Elliot, Bec and Christine at the Piano bar.

We also went on to this underground Polish hip hop bar, which was pretty cool. Couldn't understand a thing that they were rapping about, and there was a particularly scary man in an anorak that just would not go away, but it was an experience.

Here is El, Shtine, me and Ekul in the hip hop club.

Then we went on to a casino, which was just gold, it was free drinks all night and it was empty. I got to gamble and win big on the pokies and the roulette table and felt really bling coz I was putting down massive bets, only to be reminded later that in fact it was massive bets in Polish money, which is actually equivalent to about 50 pence.

Still fun though.

That in a nutshell was my weekend in Poland, freezing fun and debaucherous. I came away with a funny looking wine glass and a new ashtray as location souvenirs and was happy! More photos will be up on the bugbitten site as soon as I can manage it!

On a different note, I finally found my adidas boots!! But they only sell them in America, and I could just positively cry about it. I still haven't given up mind you.

To close off here is another photo from Barcelona from New years eve shenanigans. I have chosen to close with this for two reasons, one because it is just such an ace picture. Two because Caz is displaying yet another classic blue steel, and I just know that magnum, one day, is going to blow us all away!
