A quite different travel agency


I've been pimping my flat some more. Oh, the wonderful ways procrastination can work out for me sometimes. "What was that? I should be packing for my week-long trip? Uhmmmyeah, I'm just gonna scrub down my bathroom, wax my legs, clean my windows and redecorate my flat first." All in good time, all in good time.

Harry Potter character reevaluation

First time reading Harry Potter series: I HATE that know-it-all bitch Hermione Granger, Harry Potter is a hero, Ron Weasley is a clutz and Albus Dumbledore is a genius. Severus Snape is evil.

Second time reading the Harry Potter series: I guess Hermione Granger is ok, Harry Potter is a hero beit an annoying one, Ron Weasley is a clutz, Albus Dumbledore is actually pretty manipulative and Severus Snape is an evil creep.

Third time reading the Harry Potter series: Hermione Granger is awesome and I'd like to be more like her, Harry Potter is annoying as fuck, Ron Weasley is strangely underrated, Minerva McGonagall is pretty badass and Albus Dumbledore is a manipluative douchebag. Severus Snape is a creep.

Fourth time reading the Harry Potter series: HERMIONE GRANGER IS A BADASS BOSS WITCH, HARRY POTTER IS A SELF-ABSORBED BRAT WITH DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR WHILE NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM IS THE TRUE CHAMPION HERE, RON WEASLEY IS AN UNDERRRATED HERO, RUBEUS HAGRID IS A BLESSING UPON THE WORLD, MOLLY AND ARTHUR WEASLEY DESERVE ALL THE AWARDS FOR EXISTING, MINERVA MCGONAGALL IS MY EVERYTHING, ALBUS DUMBLEDORE IS A TRUE MANIPULATIVE DOUCHE CANOE AND SEVERUS SNAPE IS A TOTAL CREEP.
I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS.

The Hutt travels: Warsaw

So I went to Warsaw.
And I reached the conclusion that Warsaw is a boring city.
Don't get me wrong, it's a very INTERESTING city. There's just not that much going on. Plenty of museums to get the history nerds hot and bothered; Medieval Art, Science, Modern Art... as well as Old Town with the Royal Castle and everything - BEAUTIFUL. But speaking as a book worm and geek I felt rather let down. My company and I found two comic book stores in the city centre; one where not a single item was in English and the other where, lo and behold, we had a whole shelf of comics in English. But no English-speaking staff to guide us. Plenty of young nerds, not a word of English. Aesthetically, Warszawa looks as if torn between USSR concrete block efficiency and modern glass superstructures.
As a foodie I was thrilled though! We only went to vegan places throughout our stay (which meant two a day during three days time) and WOW. I recommend everyone to try Tel-Aviv Food & Wine (best damn hummus and tempeh I've ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth), Lokal Vegan Bistro (they did NOT skimp on the chanterelles and also had ridiculously handsome staff, like DAMN!) and Krowarzywa (delicious vegan burgers to die for).

This hutt went to Warsaw Old Town.

I'm going back later this year to check out all I missed this time around.
