Alone in Warsaw

day 14
This was the first "real" Sunday in a while - easy.., being lazy. Relaxing. Nick left Warsaw at about noon. Probably had some beers and one of these awesome sausages in the dining car on his way down to Austria. Julien went to Market Europa with Josée - crazy market place in an old closed-down stadium in Praga where you find ripped DVDs, CDs, and illegally produced alcoholic drinks. People say it can make you blind to drink this stuff!...??? Bought some pierogies on the way back in a supermarket that is by far better than SUPERSAM.

day 15
Julien did not leave the castle today. Instead a whole lot of file transfers, burned quite some DVDs, took almost the whole day. Damned computers! I saw in my dashboard that it is sunny outside, temperature above 0°C! A short break in the afternoon for a meeting with curator Marianna in the café. Still didn't make a step outside. Marianna is trying to get sponsoring for adhesive tape and large quantities of paper. Potatoe cakes for dinner - how very polish.

day 16
Julien woke up early to go to the Austrian Cultural Forum. Got the long awaited $$$. Some potential sponsoring partners for our project seem to show interest. Meetings scheduled for the week. Lunch: borschtsch as usual, potatoe cakes again. Still love it and will have it over and over again. Some more archiving work done - and a walk outside: it is warmer, amazing day. Went to the movies, Me and You and Everyone We Know. The main actress (she also directed) was kind of a pain-in-the-ass character, made me somehow aggressive. But in the end the movie was ok. No plans for tonight. Some work for the upcoming show in Salzburg. The night porter is having a nap on the couch in the hallway. Easy... cheers
