Warsaw Entertain

Being in a foreign land isn't easy, especially if you don't have much friends and mingling with the locals around is hard when the language is the number one problem.
However, for my 6 months beyond staying in Poland, I made a bunch of friends around both Poles and fellow foreigners. I just realized then, that you need to be actively member of any organization that involves foreign activity.
One of that is Warsaw Entertain, I was being invited to join the group in Facebook and participate on their nightly activities. For the first time, I attended their summer English video-karaoke held at an Irish Pub inside the Warsaw Towers.
I had a blast and met fellow foreigners and Polish party people, I sang that night just as the Pinoys love to sing and addicts to video karaoke, yet, I was missing a good pitch the reason I refused to sing again...blame it on the stage freight.
The best of that was I met new friends, it may not be the closest that you'll get, (who knows?) better yet its nice to expand your friendship.

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.
