So I'm almost completely over the purse incident. Last night I was, until I remembered that I had bought some delicious miso paste at the health food store, and was carrying it around in my purse the day it was stolen... And last night I had a huge craving for miso soup. Then I got really really mad at the purse snatcher, but now I think I'm over it again.

Easter was so nice thanks to the grandparents! And my aunt and uncle, and my cousins and various other wonderful people I was lucky enough to see on my short trip to Warsaw. I was horribly sick the first few days, but my grandfather took care of me: brought me tea and medicine, and ordered me to bed rest. In the end, I was able to enjoy Easter breakfast on Saturday. So much good food! Then Monday I finally went out on the town, visited the Old Town Square and had a few drinks with my cousins and an old friend. Had to be back by 11 pm though, because grandma sets a curfew every time I visit. Tuesday I managed to get a little shopping done, and went out again in the evening to see Wojtek and Marcin (my "uncles" who are actually younger than me) and a friend from Ottawa who is doing an internship at the Canadian Embassy right now. We started off a Jazz bar, and moved to a really nice hookah place to enjoy some apple-flavoured smoke.

And then it was Wednesday, and time to leave! It went by so fast!

As I mentioned, thanks to the purse incident, I don't have a camera anymore, so I don't really have any pictures from Poland to share with you right now. One of my cousins will hopefully forward me some from Easter breakfast... but until then, here are some pictures from that wonderful week before the incident, aka "one of the best weeks in the history of time," from Freyja's camera.

This first one is of me on a Vespa, on our way to Make Up (Saturday night):



This is me and our good Belgian friend:



The Finns dancing and generally having way too much fun!



And then there's me, thoughtful, as always:



Kusjes!
