Had sausage, pickles and sour flour soup (?) for lunch in the train restaurant. Moved into the castle, later dinner in a student-kind-of restaurant café. Still hungry after that and went to KFC to have some french fries. Warsaw is not as cheap as it was supposed to be.
In terms of food and drinks: the restaurant at the castle is good, good borschtsch (no idea how to spell that!), good pierogies. The drinks cost more than the meals though. Got some buffalo grass Vodka at SUPERSAM. Later Nick prepared some pasta for diner. Workwise, the editing suite is kind of set up now --> we're ready to go.
Arranged some things at the castle. Went on a trip about 30 km outside of Warsaw with our a-i-r studiomate Josée from Canada and her friend Ola. Later, Nick got some drawing paper ...and we had Borschtsch again - but it does its job quite well. Met with Jacek Skolimowski in the evening - a music journalist from Warsaw. Very nice guy. Hung out at some hidden de-centered club with improvisational dub-jazz band... Nick 2 beers, Julien red wine. Took the Warsaw night bus back to the center, the driver was probably on speed or any other drugs... drove like he was the devil. It's freezing cold. -15°C minimum. Good night.
Thursday was lame. Slept a lot, not much work. Borschtsch again for lunch - and pierogies. This stuff is just awesome. Nick tried to get iMovie to work but got really pissed after two hours of trying. No editing at all. Julien had a whole-day depression. Nick then had a nap from 6 to 9.30pm. We were supposed to go to a concert at club Aurora, some Mogwai-like sound. Missed that - instead watched Wim Wenders' Paris,Texas and got even more depressed. Beautiful film.
Borschtsch for lunch, again. Today was packed. Met Michał, a real cool guy who owns 2 Jeeps, a Cherokee and a really old GAZ one - big machines. We'll go on some off-road trips with him. Kuba is totally familiar with the Warsaw Hip-Hop underground scene. He will arrange some MC freestyling sessions for us at his place with friends. Minit (Australian-Kiwi-Berlin-minimal sound) sucked like hell. Where is the rock'n'roll in Warsaw???
