Wpis:from this week on, you can not call us by names, because we (me, Emilia and Justyna) started a professional careers! We are employed as interpreters on international trade fairs "Intertelecom". We have to dress smartly (imagine us in suits or elegand dresses), smile all the time and make an impression that we know everything about the company which we represent. Let our clients asses if we manage to do so.......

Wpis:Oh yeah, after that day, I suppose my tiredness make me had a numberless battery of dreams (read previous gossip before this one)... Wow. But I don't remember much, just two of them. I am sure I had more joyful ones, but I have forgotten them :-( The feeling of this night full of strange dreams accompanied me during the whole day...
DREAM 1 (sweet wars) - I don't know why I had this dream! ;-) I was a boy, and in the corridors of a school. The scene was pretty childish: children throwing there sweets. And if you get touched, you had to enter class. If you survived without being touched, you never go into a classroom. Such a good idea! But I found it stressful. I remember sending 4 or 5 guys to the class, and avoiding a few sweetshoots.
Finally, a sweet hit me... I had to join school and I felt so sad. I sit next to a very friendly girl, and soon my sadness disappeared. I remember she started showing me some pictures of herself and her family. But what I remember most clearly is to show her my own pictures. I remember in one pic it appeared a strange animal with cat shape, leopard skin and a single antennae in his head. I suppose it was my pet. Wow, I think it has to be Kukli original form :-) Hi Kukli! The other picture was from my room. And it was messy!
In the class, the teacher was throwing sweets to the corridor... they described original and impossible paths... so it was the teacher who sweet-hit me. Not fair!
My first interpretation of the dream: Don't fight not to enter a place, if you don't know who/what is inside this place ;-)
DREAM 2 (the running man) - The dream start was not pleasant at all, a nightmare. I was in a coach, dark inside, it was foggy and the road turned left. But the driver continued straight on, to a precipice. I remember I realized of that, and I started praying...
I don't know if my prayers worked or if I was in heaven, but immediately I was running and running... It was hot, I was in shorts and there were dried plants in the path. I remember I felt no harm in the rubbing of the plants in my legs. Running and running... Then I arrived to a contry house, the house was entirely opened (no external walls) and I ask if they have some food for me. They pointed me to a cottage just in front. I remember good smell while approaching, but no more... :-(
My first interpretation of the dream: Try to avoid the road of the accident, unless I am really hungry.

Wpis:Yes, it was indeed good fun in Vilanova!
I met Anna firstly, who was already a bee (dressed up). Her dress was the first one we had prepared the day before... I mean, the experimental one, so it was no surprise to realize that some of the yellow stripes had already disappeared in Hospitalet floor... Of course we, spanish 'cutre' people, arrange something trying to stop that unexpected quick decoloration.
Then we met all the rest at Barcelona train station, and the rest of us get dressed and maked up there. Then, in arriving Vilanova we were guided by some cockroaches to the center of town. Then, lots of people... lots of sweets thrown by 'comparsas' (groups of people with flags and in traditional dressed) In this big day there, they threw 100 tons of sweets!!! yes, 100 tons, 100000 kg! So if you want, you can come back home with bags and bags of sweets. But you can guess the sweets are not that good...
We started very vigorously, but after one hour we get tired of getting sweets (you don't stop crouching down, specially if people in comparsas throw poor bees lots and lots of sweets to check if they can really fly or not) You can throw back sweets, but we are peacefully people, and throwing sweets to other people makes us suffer pangs of conscience.
Seeing comparses dancing and playing music it's nice... but lots of people (sometimes no chance to move) make some of us a little sick... Also we saw some comparsas 'sweet wars'. What can I say about seeing thousands of colourful sweets flying around?
After having our dinner, we moved to the beach... oh, think about some sunbathing in the beginning of March... Yesssss, before getting the train back, we had a looooong rest there... When I arrived home I was so tired that after eating a 'bocadillo de jamon serrano del bueno' (spanish ham sandwich) I went directly to bed. And now time for oneiric experiences...

Wpis:Bees ready to fly tomorrow (today) Sunday! Of course I was quite pessimist :-) about the bees dresses, but after preparation and seeing them ready, I can say they are super. Tomorrow in Vilanova will be good fun!!!!
Vilanova is a town near Barcelona. Pronounce it like 'Bilanoba'! ;-)

Wpis:hello everybody!
i haven't been here for a long time (well... at least in the state when i am aware of what i'm writing... ;-) so time for short report from Lodz:
1. Slovakia
as always in Slovakia,the host couldn't understand our partying needs and that caused some tensions between him and us, such as:
-Marek throwing eggs under his feet as a revenge for the host throwing Marek's fried onion into the sink
-accusing us of schratching the frying pan, floor, bathtube!!! (we still wonder how we could scretch the bathtube??any ideas??)
-treating us as prisoners (keeping us under the key, making bed inspection (he told us only one person can sit on it otherwise it breaks..) and so on, and so on...
in general, he could stop us anyhow :-P
skiing was great- of course i was SUPER SKI QUEEN, but as i prefer "company skiing" (my own term), i decided to sacrifice myself and reduce the great speed of going down the slope, so that others (slower sportsmen) could enjoy my sweet company :-)
unfortunatelly, beer is more expensive in Slovakia now. but let's find positive things:it is still cheaper than in Poland and if you innocently visit cafe(!) and buy 3 not especially "cafe drinks" for 6 zl you still end up feeling dizzy..) and the mountains are the same, so i still love that country!ahoj!
2.Carnival
as real PARTY ANIMALS we celebrate carnival as often and as enthusiastically as we can! with help of my friends i will try to do some small virtual gallery, so you can see a new picture of us all- Marek "Boski"-Mexican boy, Barbra- a safari woman,me- pregnant, all people in strange clothes, with strange drinks, doing strange things..
today is the first day i'm not coming back home after modnight since our famous trip to Slovakia- quite an intensive lifestyle i lead now.
3. news
* i passed Proficiency exam :-) and girls passes Advanced one,so we start learning Spanish now. first lesson on Tuesday. wait for my mail in Spanish :-)
* next week we three act as translators during telecommunication fairs in Lodz.yes, yes Polish-English English-Polish exchange of words such as: "printed circuit boards", "voltage control oscillators and synthesizers", wires, cables, WAN, LAN, (QUAN, CHAN or whatever ;-) poor companies- still don't know that we are language masters in English, but on such topics as beer, Pingove intrigues,gossips. anyhow, we will manage (unless we meet Scottish at the stand) and we hope(!) to have a good banquet after all ;-)
*maybe next week i will go to Lvov but i'm not sure. i'm sure that in April i plan to visit my sister in Vienna. remember- she has almost apartament so you can join me if you wish :-)
*i go to classes when i learn how to dance Irish dance- lots of fun, new great people i met. day after tomorrow Barbra, justyna and me plan to go to take some course in tango, beacuse there are Argentinian days in Lodz now and some workshops organized. at the next dancing party we will show you!
now i realize that what i wrote is not a gossip at all and in fact shouldn't be here-on the gossips page :-(
next time i will use my gossiper's creativity.i promise! :-)
