Last weekend I went with some gallery girls (one from mine, and her friend) to Krakow for a photography exhibition. I was so thrilled when I learned the theme was fashion photography... right...

I owe this guy (see link below) a huge thank you for my dinner. Used a spoon, opened that darn can. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE3vMNwj7FQ Too bad it wasn't that satisfying in terms of taste. You...

Saturday in Warsaw was Night of Museums. It's a night when every museum is open free to the public, with special exhibitions, concerts, meetings, etc. It's wonderful, but someone didn't think it through...

With a free afternoon to myself, I wandered to the two major sights in Warsaw: Łazienki Park and Stare Miasto. I used to think I was good with direction. Not so much anymore....
