The sad truth

I bet almost everyone can’t imagine themselves not using a smartphone, a computer or not watching TV just for one day. We all live surrounded by technology and it’s part of our everyday life. We use it in order to contact family and friends, check how to get to a place or order food. If we know how to use it wisely, modern technologies are not our enemy. However, lots of people gets lost in this complicated word of gadgets and electronic devices which start to take control of their lives. They can’t really have a normal conversation with their mates or spend time with a boyfriend/girlfriend without constantly writing messages. It’s dangerous and not everyone is aware of how harmful such attitude is. There even is a series about the impact of modern technologies on people and their behaviour. It’s called “Black mirror” and although the first episode was emitted in 2011, it got popularity in Poland just a few years ago. The series is available on Netflix and every episode is a different history of different people. Every time the technology is involved and showed as something damaging. It’s a quite powerful stuff and personally I admit that after every episode I need some time to put my mind at ease, but this is just the right form of telling the sad truth about our society. I think people who are addicted to their phones or computers should watch the series and consider their attitude before it’s too late.

I can’t say I was among them, because you just can’t compare getting money from your parents to finding a gift under the bed in the morning. I remember writing letters to Santa and giving them to parents so they would send them to him. Of course, the letters never gone any farther, but the presents always came on time. How was it possible?!  It is a really nice tradition and I think children should be let to believe in Santa Claus. It’s a part of a childhood, just like the Tooth Fairy. Nowadays, I don’t expect my parents to give me anything. I’ve grown up and Santa only comes to the smaller ones. However, I don’t object if they want to give me a little something :) I’m still their child.

It's here!

Source: www.gloswielkopolski.pl   Two days ago we celebrated the first day of spring. Although it still may not be very visible, the weather is getting warmer and the trees are becoming green. People are spending more time outside with their families and friends, everyone seems to be having more energy. It’s good time to start a new activity or to take up a hobby. Personally, I feel more positive about everything. I hope the next days will be as warm as today. The weather forecast says it’ going to be 19 degrees in a few hours! I’m planning to go out running and enjoy the sun. I usually go jogging near Warta river, which is also famous for attracting a different type of spring lovers – students from Poznan gather on Warta banks to talk, drink and grill. It’s a lot of fun, too!

Let's have some pizza

What the best pizza in your city is like? This question may seem a bit difficult to answer because everyone likes different kinds of this famous Italian dish. I have friends who prefer “the polish pizza”, which is made with a thick pastry and a lot of ingredients on the top. Don’t forget to add some ketchup, too (my Italian friend from Erasmus program nearly got a heart attack when he learned that Polish people do that)! Frankly, after one piece of such a dish you can eat no more. Personally, I have been a fan of this particular kind for a long time. When organizing friends gatherings we used to order some “polish pizza” from a tiny pizzeria in Poznan and it was a great addition. Nonetheless, lately I switched to the REAL pizza and I have to say I like it very much. It doesn’t have a thick pastry and a tone of ingredients on it, but the flavour is worth it. You do not normally eat it with any ketchup or salsa – you should use some oil, like vinegar one. The taste is more sophisticate...
