Gdanks 1 The Formal Part

Well well well, it was indeed a crazy weekend that we spent in Gdanks. The citys beautyfull and we got there without problems (we did not get robbed as some Polish people feared (-: ) , but to Polish trains later more. When we arrived on Thursday night, Fran (the guy on the pic) was unfortunately half an hour late and his cell phone dead because he had forgotten his recharger in Krakow the previous weekend. That wasn't much of a problem though, Camilla Lisa and I just got cold feet.
During our stay we saw the old part of the city, the harbour where the Solidarność movement (that lead to democracy in Poland)started and the beach.... and I did take off my shoes and went into the Baltic sea and got my feet wet and cold while wearing a winter coat and gloves. Our plan to visit some museum was thwarted by the Independence Day (Saturday the 11th) due to which all the museums were closed. Instead we went to ahve some cake at "greenway" , the place with the good carrot cake. And since my favorite cake was sold out, I tryed apple cake and came to the conclusion that every cake at Greenway is heavenly jammy.
Oh yes, and on sunday we went to Malbork to see room after room after room of this HUGE castle. I fyou ever go to POland, visit Malbork it's worth it. (Except for the fact atht you'er only allowed in wiht a guide who speaks POlish, unless you wan t to pay 40 Euro for a German or English guide). Fortunately there was a German couple in our group hat could translatefor us.
And since Ia've already spent some time here in Lodz ag\fter coming back, here a little crash- update:
I went to the unemployement office twice to hand out leaflets to "unemployed" women...unfortunately you can't distinguish them... (some employed women didn't have enough humour taking it easy when invited to a conference for unemployed women).
I participated in a gender awarness workshop, so now I am aware of gender and I still ahve to write an article about that. I had my Polish lesson and went to University where I watched an excerpt of "Desperate housewives" and "ER" for my "Race, calss and gender on American TV" lecture. Too bad that I haven't been in the possesion of a TV for the last 20 years and thus haven't been spoiled by the Cosby Show, AllyMCBeal etc....it seems like everyone else loves all the sequels except for me.Oh and I went to different High Schools to invite student to come to the CCC (Creative Converation CLub). Enough said.....dobranoc (good night)
There's another picture of Malbork....those photographs are from Lisa and Camilla, I am juts giving them credit for being so smart and having adegital camera (unlike me, who accordingly , can not put her own pictures online...grr..)
