Let's explore the world!

Barcelona is always a good idea. Even in November. After holidays (I was working as a tour leader in Italy) and after September (I was writing my thesis) I was utterly exhausted. I definitely needed holidays. We were looking for some cheap flights and finally we got some. Firstly, I have to admit that Barcelona is absolutely gorgeous. I was in Barceona 10 years ago, but I didn't remember anything. The biggest suprise was spanish modernism. Of course, I had that consiousness about Antonio Gaudi, but I didn't expect that he was such a big genius! My first post from Barcelona I would like to dedicate specially to Sant Pau Art Nouveau. I've seen a lot of places but I think that it was my favourtie one. (The second place goes tooooo.......... Casa Batllo - I hope I will write about it in another post), So why did Sant Pau Art Noveau inspire me so much? Because it was empty! All tourists visit Sagrada Familia and Park Guell but only few of them know this hospital.  ...

Enjoy! (I'm not good at making movies but I've tried my best)  music: Tom Roshental // soon soon //

Oh yeah! I definitely needed a break from this autumnal, overwhelming atmosphere. With my lovely family we spent a nice weekend in Góry Sowie (Owl Mountains) in the Central Sudetes. Well, I've never been there before so I was rather curious about this trip. I have to admit that I really enjoyed time with my brothers, my sis and my parents.  What interesting did we do? Frankly speaking, we played board games, we watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, we ate a lot of piergoi ruskie and kluski śląskie and of course we did a lot of walks in the forests. We visited grodno Castle and the complexes of Project Reise (it is an underground structure which was an project of Nazi Germany).  And on Sunday we went to the top-most peak of the Owl Mountains called Great Owl. The landscape was breathtaking because of hoar frost which is not so common. I was feeling like in that movie "Frozen" or like in the kingdom of The Snow Queen (from the fairytale of Andersen).  On...

I really hate autumn. It rains all the time, trees don't have their beautiful colorful leaves anymore, puddles are becoming bigger and bigger. Every year when November comes I start counting days, hours, minutes until December. This year I resolved that November will be a funny and sunny mounth. And you know what, I think it's very good for me. Even though I have many things to do I also try to find a little bit more time for my travels. People usually travel in June, in July, in August. But is there any reason to leave Poland in August when sun is shining and you can sunbath even in your garden? I have to admitt that I also travel in July and in August but this year I was working as a tour leader so almost every week I was in Italy. (But remember that it was a hard work!) So I decided that November will be the month when I will do a city-break to a lovely city where sun is shining even in winter. Moreover, my parents decided that it would be great if we could spend some time t...

1) In Zambia they speak ... more or less 72 languages and dialects!  Even thouh English is the official langage of Zambia, a lot of people do not know it. In the families and in the schools they use their local language for example Nyanja (in the capital of Zambia - Lusaka) or Bemba (in the Northen Province of Zambia). I can teach you only a few words in Bemba! Mulishani? - How are you? Cishinka - The truth Ciapla - the end Frankly speaking, children (and sometimes also adults) don't know English at all and they can communicate only in Bemba. 2) The most popular zambian dish is... NSHIMA! When you will go to Zambia (or Malawi) you will probably eat nshima every day :) It is a dish made from cassava and maize flour. I don't really know how to prepare nshima correctly so I will not give you any recipe but I have to admit that proces of preparing nshima is quite complicated.  I can only explain you how to eat nshima because it seems quite easy. It is a tradition to sit o...
