Kanta in London

Surprise, surprise! Last weekend (27^th of April-1^st of May) Kanta visited me in London. It was his annual trip to Europe, but this time it was quite crazy of him: just only four days here flying from Tokyo via Amsterdam. We have not done much, just talking, going out and relaxing. On Saturday we saw the exhibition of the unknown works of Monet in the Royal Academy of Arts and walked around West End. On Sunday Costas joined us for the City trip, unfortunately the St. Paul’s was closed so we could not climb the dome but we enjoyed looking at the modern architecture of the city.

See you next May Kanta!

Time is money, certainly true in the City of London. An old clock on the Royal Exchange building. In the background Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest (Tower 42)

Better to be lucky than…

Yes! Yes! Yes! Euro 2012 will be hosted by Poland and Ukraine. It will be fun! And it will be business! Virtually everything has to be constructed: stadiums, roads, rail track, stations, new airport terminals, many more hotels and everything just within 5 years… Sounds impossible but we, Polish, (no idea bout the Ukrainians) get really motivated under pressure and when our national pride is at stake so I really believe that it will work out. The other good news is that the apartment in which I invested is about 700 m from the future National Stadium and a tube station (I don’t have to add that it also has to be build :-) ).

The future is bright!
