POLSKAAAAA !!! Biało-czerwoni ! ! !

Although the Polish team lost to Brazil in the semi-final :-( the sports spectacle was really GREAT!!! I'll post more photos tomorrow. There are two more matches on Sunday: Poland vs. USA (for the 3rd place) and the GREAT FINAL: Brazil vs. Russia!

Yestrday the Polish team won over Bulgaria. Today, right now they are playing again. Hope they will win the second time! :)

The trophy is the IBO Cruiserweight Championship, and I don't have to write that I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Adamek. Also, Andrzej Gołota will fight after a two years' break.


[edited after the event]
Both Gołota and Adamek won their fights!

Spodek dome

This is the outside view of the Spodek dome, which I posted a few days ago.
The foto was taken last summer - today we have a very nice and sunny day in Katowice,
but the trees are not that green yet.

The Flying Saucer

It's a shame that I haven't posted the Katowice most famous landmark yet! So here it is today: "Spodek" - as Katowice dwellers fondly call the building (i.e. "Saucer" because of its obviouse resemblance to UFO flying saucers). Sure, our Saucer doesn't fly but - as it houses a concert hall and sports arena - emotions often fly high there!
It was built in 1972 and since then many intresting events have happen there: from rock, techno, blues concerts, to important international sports events and business fairs. Not to mention that you can go skating there, cause there is an in-door skating rink.
It's probobaly the most oryginal and characteristic building in Katowice, so I'll sure post some more photos of it in the future.
