The biggest Polish tragedy - the plane crash in Katyn with 96 politicians and Polish President Lech Kaczynski 10/03/2010

Poland trip

Almost the end of my polish visit. I came to Katowice 31st of March just about to celebrate the Easter. I left London after moving out all my stuff from my beautiful house in brockley where I used to live for 4 years. Of course in and out because of my traveling. After I crossed all London eventualy I got to the Stansted airport and took off at 4.30pm. We spent with my family a wonderful time sharing the blessed food earlier in the church and then having a dinner with my brother and his family. We managed to go with my parents to Kracow to meet with my American friend from London and her boyfriend. We wondered around the castle, Kazimierz-juwish quater and main old town sqaure-sukiennice-baths. After delisiouse desert made of hot chocolate with ice cream and wipped cream in addition to sharlotka - apple cake and cheese cake me and my parents headed back home. Next day another big easter dinner with all my family and then I decided to go to Warsaw to visit my best friend who used to live in Italy for a while. It's very refreshing to play with kids before my brothers and after hers (3 and 6-7 year old). It made me completely disconect from the reality. It's such a wounderful feeling almost like a meditation. I spent there one night and the nex day afternoon I visited old and new town of Warsaw where I used to work and live 10 years ago. It didn't change a lot, it seems to be still the same place exept from few more caffes and restaurants. It's a nice feeling to be there and recall the memories of mine and war times. I walked across Warsaw's town until I got to the central station to pick up my train on the way back to my parents home-south Poland. In fact I am on the train and don't kno what to do with 3 hours of free time. Inicilay I was contemplating by watching an incredible sunset then I've got a vision for mine and my dance partner's coming up in June dance performance about the sexual slavery of southe east asia's kids....my ipod died and I lost the track of my performance's idea.
After I've got back to my parents I received a message from my old italian friend who I saw last time 10 years ago. Unexpectedly happened that he was in Poland and we met up for dinner. It was such a funny and full of memories evening. The next day I managed to rent my flat to someone who was desperate to move out from his girlfriend he just split up with. at the same time the biggest catastrophe in the whole world history happened when the news announced about the plane crash with the biggest Polish elite within the politics. Our President Lech Kaczynski and the most important politicians of our government died. today 10th march 2010 - 97 people died in Katyn - the place of mass polish officers murder in 1940. It is such a catastrophe and tragedy. Hole my country is sad and cries.
