Warsaw Summer Photos

The sun hasn't shown its full appearance up to now, it's supposed to be sunny and hot, yet the weather isn't giving us the exact pictures of a European summer. I really want to see and feel what it's like to be summer in Poland.
I had enough rain in the Philippines so as a cool breeze last spring so enough for these gloomy rainy days. However, I am still appreciating the cool breeze of the wind every day and it's boring gloomy days, I know when I get home in the Philippines you surely hear me again complaining about the excruciating hot weather back home...so probably I must praise God still for this.
Well, I took a lot of pics around Warsaw since I couldn't do that much at all when winter comes..so here are the pics that I have last weekend.

Photo Diary: Summer in Warsaw

It's already summer and spring has just bid farewell. I can see Polish people's getting active and alive during this warmth and a bit hot weather. My appreciation came out when I saw a lot of people coming out from their houses going here and there, which the real beauty of Poland started to come out.

Photo Diary: Warsaw's Jewish Ghetto

The Jewish Ghetto in Warsaw was really frustrating when I and my friend decided to trace the remains of the Nazis cruelty during WWII in Poland. According to the Poland's WW II history, the Nazis didn't leave any marks of their crimes in Warsaw but destroyed everything so as the city was totally devastated then.

International Pillow Fight Day in Warsaw - Poland

Obviously, I haven't posted any recently not just because I wanted to build the anticipation but I was in the hiatus for a while, just for awhile. April 2, was a special day for the Polish people in Warsaw the capital city and to some countries participating this Pillow Fight Day.
Since it's already spring and the weather is perfect for any outdoor events. The weather is warm, sunny and a bit cool, so no winter coats are needed. So,the plaza in Warsaw was filled with participants and expectators,I had no idea till a message posted in Couch Surfing forum inviting everyone to participate or simply watch the event. I took my camera with me to take some shots proving that I was there.
I met familiar faces from Warsaw Couch Surfing chapter, we had a little chit chat and taking pictures. The festival as they may say it lasted for 1 hour only, of course, who would like to be hit by a pillow for long hours. According to the event website:

One of our goals is to make these unique happenings in public space become a significant part of popular culture, partially replacing passive, non-social consumption experiences like watching television, and consciously celebrating public spaces in our cities as our “urban living rooms.” The result, we hope, will be a global community of participants in a world where people are constantly organizing and attending these happenings in every major city in the world.

A GLIMPSE OF THE OLD TOWN (CITY OF WARSAW)

Last Sunday (Feb.20) I was in Warsaw again with my housemate to get a full glimpse of the city's pride the Old Town. As it was also my housemate's desire to see the Old Town, I toured her around in the midst of a snowy cold Sunday.
I thought, there'd be few visitors on that Sunday around the Old Town but it was filled with both locals & foreign visitors.

CITY OF WARSAW

Warsaw is not a pompous and grandeur city comparing to Krakow. Never been to Krakow yet but I heard a lot of side comments that Krakow is better than Warsaw. In fact, according to a British travel magazine; Warsaw is the ugliest city in Europe.
Well, can't give a comment on that since I haven't been around Europe, which the truth is there's nothing much to see around except the Old Town that is being preserved.
