Travel / Pics of Warsaw by the Guardian's David Levene [107]
I've had a look at levene's photo library and it seems that the warsaw photos are typical of his style.
he shoots what's in front of him and nothing more. one might argue that that is the beauty of his technique.
his work in other styles ranges from ordinary to good.
his arranged celebrity shots don't come close to those of terry o'neill
with so many gifted amatuers about i'd expect something more from a pro.

Some of the photos are typical for any Polish city. neither a good or bad thing. just an observation.

Life / Girls in Poland shaving side of head!? [30]
u will find it among teenage girls. but i would say very few.
a couple of tv personalities have it.
daughter number 3 says she hasn't noticed anyone at school with that style.
edit: just checked the latest Bravo magazine. out of dozens of photos the only one to sport the shaved look is Patricia Kazadi.
Is this hair style that popular in Poland nowadays or is it exaggerated?

It is possible (and normal for many folk) to travel with an ID card.
But it does depend which countries one is travelling through.

Work / a presentation on College life in Poland [5]
grading is very strict... until it's pointed out that the failure rate is too high... and then after the resits everyone passes.
for many folks uni is a place to occupy time and little else. swat before an exam and double swat before and during your thesis/dissertation and that's it.
there is a reason why Polish unis/colleges are not in the world's top 300.
free time is spent either in the pub or at some private forum bitching about the teachers/tutors/whatever.

Life / Wiosna - Marzanna ceremony? [7]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marzanna
The tradition of burning or drowning an effigy of Marzanna to celebrate the end of winter is a folk custom that survives in Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Typically taking place on the day of the vernal equinox, the rite involves setting fire to a female straw effigy, drowning it in a river, or both. In Poland, this is often performed during a field trip by children in kindergartens and primary schools
