What color am I?
Today i called my mom all the way to Beirut via Skype. Such a happy blue invention(now isn't it?), seriously i mean she was concern about the snow in warsaw. After i assured her that so far it looks like spring is here, i got to thinking. I thought that instead of going out today to make random walks i am going to go to this cafe i like that used to be a train stop( it has such a hard name, i will ask Dominika for it later). They converted this station into a real nice place. But that's not the story, really, i mean getting there was the difficult part, but on my way it seemed that Warsaw today was colorful again:) Happy days with a bit of sun bring those colorful clothes out of the closets, i saw a lot of pink and violet, blue and red and green, all matching from different labels, and latest displays. I think Warszawans ( i am not sure what they call people from Warsaw, I imagine it is Warsawians, if i am wrong and you know correct me please), have a great sense of style, somewhere on the edge of fashion with a touch of resentment to tradition and posture. I love it. So i am walking to this cafe( and you can be sure i am as lost as a blind man driving in Tokyo), and i am starting to look around and the more i looked the less i felt being there(physically, but not to the point where i could fly or disappear or any of that stuff). I started thinking about the diversity in this city, perhaps it is not a large cosmopolitan area with China town, and little Italy, and what have you. But in a sense who cares, slowly there will be all kind of people. I am sure all urban brands are there,( i even saw a restaurant called Don Corleone, and damn it we have it in Beirut) so in a sense the major labels are here, but not nationalities, so i got to thinking what does Warsaw need to offer to attract foreign life? I am not sure since the language is a big barrier. Not to say that foreigners don't live here(hey I am here). Anyhow, to make this short( i don't really know the answer anymore) I can only say: "Mom don't worry there is warmth in Warsaw, if not from the sunny sky, it will be from lovely people you meet along the way." In the end I just have to know what color am I?

Varsovians in Polish are: waszawiacy (guys) and warszawianki (chicks). Now try to figure out all the cases for them. ;)
