Coming back from... WOODSTOCK!!!
So, been away for a while. Sorry if I missed anything of importance since last Thursday (give me a heads up if I did!). You see, I left in pursual of great fun that comes with big-ass events. This big event was Polish version of WOODSTOCK(!!!), which celebrated it's 15th edition, the 40th anniversary of original Woodstock and the 20th anniversary of the end of communism in Poland. Our Woodstock is much the same as the original one - there are three days full of peace, love & music. From all over the Poland, Germany and UK came over 400,000 people. FOUR HUNDRED THOUSEND PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! If you saw them all together dancing, screaming and chanting someone's name you would be awed. It's the biggest open air festival in whole Europe and it's TOTALLY FOR FREE. No paying for tickets here. In fact, I'm sure that there are people who can live through Woodstock completly for free. You do not have to pay for tickets, you an hitch a ride here and people are so easy going and friendly here that someone would surely give you something to eat.
But I'm boring you with this stuff, here are some more interesting memories I have of this festival:
1. At 8am Thursday morning we got on special Woodstock train (there are over 100,000 people coming by trains alone so the government makes sure there are additional ones). People were singing, playing guitars, drinking beer and following the general rule of calling anyone, no matter the age, 'mate', 'dude', 'friend'. It was me and three others: Peasant Girl (you should now her already, she's a great friend of mine, I like to travell with her because mostly we think alike), PG's sister - the Forum Girl (you will see why) and the Naked Torso Guy. Me, Peasant Girl, Forum Girl and Naked Torso Guy were chatting, using a moment of distraction in our neighbours to steal their seats when some guy came to us.
SOME GUY: Excuse me, dear friends, if you would be so gracious and let me use this window you seat by, I realloy need to pee.
US: You serious, mate?
SOME GUY: Deadly, my friend.
We let him. poor guy had to bend really hard since the window was too low for him. We got back to our own places after that, some unsuspecting people sat there minutes later.
