Wesołych Świąt!

Posted by: Michał In: bits and bobs

I’ve made my makówki, I’ve done the fish….. I’ve also worked a bit too much, hence this long gap since my last update. But before I put my feet up and start enjoying Christmas, I just wanted to thank all my readers for being here, for leaving comments and spreading the word! More from thePOLSKIblog [...]

Happy Sienna

Posted by: Michał In: bits and bobs

I’m getting a bit allergic to celebs and their omnipresence. My recent trip to Poland only confirmed my suspicions about the inevitable spread of the celebrity culture. Celebs everywhere, with only a few noble exceptions. Nothing seems to be immune from their ‘endorsement’ any more. The same here. Now even The Guardian – until recently [...]

Moo and me

Posted by: Michał In: bits and bobs

All Saints’ Day

Posted by: Michał In: bits and bobs

Today is probably one of the most important days of the year for most Poles. All Saints’ Day – the day when you remember those who’ve already gone.

The London Meme

Posted by: Michał In: bits and bobs

I was tagged in Sylwia’s The London Meme post, which means I now need to answer three simple (?) questions, just like many bloggers in London have done before me. So here they come: 1. Top three non-work websites: Flickr – feeds my photo addiction DPChallenge – feeds my photo addiction even more Netvibes.com – [...]

Frieze frame

Posted by: Michał In: bits and bobs|it's a sign!

I went to Frieze Art Fair in Regent’s Park last Saturday and it was quite fun – as always with such things, a bit of a mind-blowing experience. But that’s to be expected from Frieze. What I didn’t expect to see was a Polish newspaper turned into a piece of art. I came across this [...]

  • Czarny kapturek: It was a good series. While I am critical about what I see as an oversimplification of Poland (i.e. that all life in Poland is in Warsaw) it is good
  • The Londoneer: I don't imagine that they've put a camera inside Warsaw's main museum have they? There's not a lot to see - now the War Museum, that I'd like to revis
