Wiwa la Polska!

Oddly, in this modern world, where everyone has mp3 players, died hair and purposely misspelled middle names, there seems to be an abundance of bloggers, not just in the world, but here in Warsaw. Without having met a single one of those involved (Martin excluded, he just got his site up and running 2 months ago at PolandExplorer), I've been invited to join a new Warsaw-based expat community weblog, titled none other than Pijemy po polsku, which, for you who passed Latin but not Polish, translates to "We drink in the Polish way (or style)." Choose your meaning of drink, or the phrasal verb, "to drink in." Sure I've had my fair share of rough nights and mornings in this fine country of the plains, but I prefer the latter definition, as being a foreigner in this unique place allows one to absorb everything with more interest and intensity than dealing with the day to day life back home, and what you soak in is some fine Polish traditions and the occasional outrage at the well-ingrained bureaucracy...but not that we don't have our problems back home...

Perhaps I'll even meet these other mystery P3 bloggers in person, as they seem to attend a piwo(a) enjoyment festival weekly at the Warsaw Tortilla Factory!

However, it's a small world in blogland, and it turns out I do know one of the writers, Aaron Fowles, as pictured here 3rd from the left from my CELTA course back in August 2004.
Crazy.

So feel free to click on the little P3-PiwoBlog link on the right to see what a few other expats from the states and the UK are thinking, planning, laughing and crying about a few thousand miles east of y'all. I'll probably be too lazy to post to both sites...
