Work work and fun

Lots of work this week. I work as a purchaser, and right now we want to get a lot of offers from various companies. Therefore we are preparing letters and samples and making packages for these companies to receive - a lot of details details details to remeber... phew!

The weekend was ok, ups and downs. As mentioned, my danish colleague Adnan was here during the weekend, so we were out having a little of fun. Saturday we saw some of Warszawa, for example the very impressing interactive museum showing the 1944 Warszawa uprising.

They expected the russians to aid them, so they revolted against the german rule and liberated the city more or less. As the russians decided not to help anyway, they were severely undermanned against the germans and after 2 months of heroic fighting the germans took over the command again. During these 2 months 85% of the city was destroyed by german bombing raids - as punishment for revolting... history in short.

After that we went to the most famous landmark in Warszawa; Pałac Kultury i Nauki - the Palace of Culture and Science. It was a fantastic "gift" from the russians who "kindly allowed" the polish people to build this... thing. The most common joke is that you have the most beautiful view of Warszawa from the tower - since it is the only place you can't really see the building itself.

Finally we went to Hard Rock café to see what the fuss is all about, and it was a great place. Lots of fun, but unfortunately they had to close quite early as the water dissapeared in the building, and therefore the toilets and everything was without water. We found another place and found out that Warszawa is actually a nice city, even though it is not that beautiful in daylight.

Sunday was less of a party...

The forthcoming weekend i will probably go to a Danfoss party Friday with really a LOT of people. Then Saturday i go to Poznan to get to see that before returning Saturday night.

At Danfoss we still play indoor football on Fridays, and in a few weeks they will take down the huge inflated cover over the tennis/soccer field so we can get some fresh air while playing. This is really a nice way to spend Friday afternoons, since i like football, and i get to know some of my polish colleagues outside work. I have also tried to start capoeira classes, but either i have no time due to work or else the teaches is not showing up. It is Monday, Tuesday and Thursday so there should still be enough possibilities to get to try this. Still me and my danish "roommates" are good at motivating each other for jogging so my health is not completely broken by the polish food ;)

GRRR! I wish those strange Americans would sit down for 5 minutes meditation each and everyone and think about who they should vote for. Then after 5 minutes, if they still havent chosen Obama they should just do like Lemmings... ahh good to get it off my chest ;)
