I went to church. It was funny. There was 'gospel choir' but it was only white people, so it did not look like anything on the movies. The lead singer had a beautiful voice and it was all really nice, but the old white ladies clapping and trying to dance were sooo funny. They looked so much out of place. Out of scope :)
We were both surprised how many people were in church. Rob said he always thought Catholics didn't really go to church except for Christmas and Easter. Surprise! The other weird thing is that almost EVERYBODY went to communion (if you're not catholic, you will probably not understand it). Like the catholic guild didn't existed here so strongly like at the old continent :) Need to investigate it more. And generally people seemed more happy and enjoying it.
But the one thing was the same everywhere I ever went to the catholic church: people being late :) I thought of our family and my mum always making us late when I was a kid and the embarrassment when u get in 15 minutes late and everybody is staring at you. Here at least they had man on each isle who would sit people, so they didn't have to spend a few minutes looking for seats and making even bigger mess.
However, it was a very nice experience. I still need to learn the mess in English, cause now I probably look like an idiot mumbling parts in English and parts in Polish.

New beginning
Uff, it's a new year, 2010. Finally. I was pretty tired of 2009, it was too eventful :) Now I need a rest, so please new year, be just nice and quiet. Enough weddings, movings to other continents and stuff like this. I wish for a quiet year, just settling down, making new friends and living healthier.
The new year started quite good. We went to Rob's colleague to watch fireworks at the Space Needle. They were really nice. Not quite Krakow nice, but pretty close. The people at the party were nice. But apparently I got a bit too drunk and embarrassed Rob :) I don't remember it :) I hope it wasn't that bad, especially that he was the only not drunk person there, so I hope the rest didn't take it too seriously. I hope they will talk to me in the future, cause they were really nice. And I'm in need of friends :)
Of course I wasn't planning on getting drunk, I was actually planning not to. But they offered shots and that's my secret love. Of course, it wasn't fernet or absolut, but Jägermeister. I only had 2 of those but then the killer came: vodka with blueberry liquor. It was delicious but dangerous. And then we had to drive for about 30 minutes. I get a bit carsick when I'm drunk so it was not fun. At least I had only like 5 cigarettes that evening, so woke up without a headache. And I'm quitting now :) Let's see how it goes. I decided to smoke only when drinking which would work much better that Prague, cause there it meant almost every might :)
Note to myself: do not get drunk with people who work with Rob during the first meeting; do not mix! and please forget about shots!
When we got home I got really depressed because all of my friends are in Prague, so Rob was making fun of me that we actually never spent New Year's Eve with our Prague friends. Oh well, I still miss you all.
On an unrelated note: they have wifi on the public transportation here! Specifically the buses that go from Seattle to Redmond. Awesome!!!
And I've gor Zbigniew Preisner music yesterday! I love it! Could not find it anywhere for a while but amazon had it in downloads :) So I didn't even have to wait for the delivery. It's so good! He is a genious! Now I apparently should start listening to classical music. Well, I'll try.
