oh, it seems Lodz is not as ugly as it's said to be

After recovering over the weekend (and watching two shallow but very entertaining movies with Camilla and Lisa on SAturday afternoon), I went out for the first time since some weeks. On sunday a group of Belarussian/Russian/Ukranian students arrived here in lodz. They're taking a study tour and FERSO and kobiety.lodz.pl are organizing it. So we had some introduction meeting on sunday afternoon and we went out for a beer at night. The next day my friend Fabian from Germany arrived for a three day stay in our appartment. We "celebrated" his arrival with Lisa, CAmilla and MArian (representing the other volunteers) and Julie and Eliza (representing my falt) (-: in Kaliska.
Oh, we did a lot of running and walking around on Tuesday, the whole "Lodz-tourist-program" within one day: Jewish cemetary, Radegast Station, Manufaktura, (lunch in Green way) and oczywiscie Piotrkowska street. We were very very tired when we came home. After a small dispute with my boyfriend, Fabian and I went to watch a movie at Silver Screen. The choice wasn't wide so we ended up seeing "Rocky...4(?)" and it was actually not as bad as I had expected it to be. Silvester Stalone NEVER appears to have a functioning brain during that movie, but well.
Wednesday Polish lesson andthe children at the sheler, were I took Fabian as well and we all built (or rather tried to build) houses from cookies and a "glue" made of "kasza manna" (Griess, I don't know the English word), suggra and milk.
Fortunately my two Austrian girls threw a spontanious party that night, so we meet not only all the east european students again, but also Hannes, Christof (and his girlfriend) who are Germans doing civil service here in Lodz. Eliza and Julie came as well, so when the party was over we all walked home together. On our way though, we were stopped by the police.
They were driving along the street and slowed down when we came in sight. Then they turned around and stopped next to us, asking why we were on the street (come on , it was likie 00.45) then they wanted to know if anyone spoke POlish (we denied the facat that Eliza did) and they questionned us further where we were from and where we were going to... the two young police men were starting to pull away when Julie asked them why we had been stopped...we did not get a n honets answer though...some mufflin' between them and then they said we "looked young". Yeah right, good explenation.
The pics are a couple of weeks old, Eliza, Julie and I had a good movie night on Eliza's couch and we ate jammy pizza and drank some beer (the second picturs is posed though...we only ahd three beer for allof us,no way taht Eliza would end up like that then (-;
Today I visited the TV Toya staion with the group of U-R-B students. It was fun, we could try to use the cameras in the studio.
Ok, right now I've to do my Polish homework, so i gotta go
