picture from wikicommons http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/CapsuleHotelCapsule.jpgHere you go, not long ago now, a new hotel opened in ?olibor', north of Warsaw's central district, where you can actually rent a capsule for sleeping, working or other activities (that you can of course do ALONE) It looks like out of a manga dream come true. After heavy partying you can buy yourself the capsule for a couple of hours before you go home. It costs the not oh so cosmic sum of 1 Euro...

The door thing...
From Caf, 3 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
In Poland there are many, if not too many building regulations. So much that sometimes you get the feeling designing here is form follows regulation. One of the funnier rules is that all doors to toilet cabins should open towards the outside. A wicked little paragraph, which in most cases makes designing functioning toilets a challenge if you have not the luxury of space. The official reason for that is that it's easier to open the door if somebody would happen to faint while performing his...

Bannercity update

Update to the raging debate. The latest claim to peace tribunal by private initiative was deemed irrelevant by the said court due to the fact that the banner in question was actually unmounted some time ago and the supports were also already removed from the building. But the debate about the right of advertising companies to cover the view and light of housing estates is going on. In the meanwhile Doda our local pop starlet has a few holes more than needed. (See picture) The landlord already...

Allegro the happiness by mail

Today we had a surprise in the mailbox. Two delivery slips by the Polish mail reporting that two packages were unsuccessfully delivered... one week ago. Strange, more about that later on. It so happens that we bought somewhat over a week ago two (arm-less) chairs for our living room. In our favorite style...vintage. The chairs are original 60's design with a restored upholstery. We are really happy to have finally got them. Its been a week full of expectancy and fear, since the friendly...

Today I am wearing a Ralf Lauren Polo T-shirt with Hugo Boss shoes and a Marks & Spencer merino wool pullover! Does that sound familiar to you' social toppers or other well earning people have that kind of cloths. Me too, but here is the catch. How much did I pay all in all' Not more than 25 USD or 80 PLN. The secret to designer cloths is to take advantage of second hand shops which are a frequent commodity in this country, especially just outside the big city. In those stores you can find...

The Warsaw metro line recently won one of the awards at the "Oscars" for metros, organised yearly around a conference. They got best grades for current maintenance and fast system service in case of breakdown. Something like that... anyway not surprising when the total number of lines operated in Warsaw is a whopping 1 (one). But it does not end there, (you cant stop the progress) the metro is installing on the stations some new display panels which indicate the remaining time till the next...

View Larger MapWalking down the Wspólna droga road from the identicaly named tram stop, you arrive after a quiet bend into the Ulica Szklanych domów. About halfway down you notice a newer building and there, in the midst of that quiet estate (osiedle M'odych link in polish some pictures) on the outer edge of Warsaw's southern Praga side, lies a unsuspecting building of historical value. The first impression is that of a modest garage with a interesting roof pattern. But on second glance, and...

Abgetippt von Notizen, gemacht am 20.05 in BaselHALTESTELLE Cafe - Bar, Restaurant and der GempenstrasseAuf dem Lautsprecher läuft Tom Waits, heulend klagt er über seine vergangene Liebe, Lebensschmertz pur. Der an der Bar, ein quirliger Basler mit Cäs Kaiser frisur und gehabe; leicht blau, hab ich den Eindruck. Er bedient mich fröhlich aggitiert. Schnippt mit den Fingern. Waits legt zu einem Creschendo an und besingt das Schiffwrack. Bestellt habe ich Ravioli mit Spinat Riccota Füllung und...
