london and poland day 12

july 26, 2007

yesterday was work and a bit of drinking afterwards with some co-workers. not much to tell. today, on the otherhand, i worked half day and then i took off for poland.

but i decided to make a stop on the way - the british museum. i had never been. it was pretty freakin' cool. until you realize that the brits basically stole all of the artifacts that are in the museum before the victimized countries realized what was going on. anyway, if you ever get a chance, visit. and it's free.

the flight to poland was uneventful, which was nice. easyjet is a much nicer budget airline that ryanair. i would definitely fly easyjet again.

when i landed, oren and anja (the engaged couple) had a car waiting for me. it was the first time in my life that i had a driver waiting at the arrival gate with my name on a sign. well, it was oren and anja's name on the sign, but same difference. the car was for me.

an hour later and i'm at the hotel that anja's father owns and the where the wedding is taking place. the hotel is called hotel pod sasmani and it's in a little town called osieck (pronounced oh-shit-zk). josef (anja's father) greated me at the receptino area and immediately took me to the party. earlier, there was a polish dinner and everyone was drinking and dancing when i arrived. there were a few perogis left so i downed them. i hadn't eaten in a while. not good when the first person you meet is a bridesmaid named cookie and she hands you a shot. immediately following, a met up with jason and denis who were about to have a crazy dog shot with another wedding-goer (a crazy dog is vodka, cranberry juice and tobasco). wow. 2 shots in under 5 minutes. and 4 more within the next hour. needless to say i got really drunk.
