This is what I would like to be. This is what I believe I can become. Maybe it's a little more difficult since I live in a small town in Sicily. On this blog I want to describe how my life here gradually changes and evolves. Describe my little successes and failures. Enjoy!

I am impressed!

Po pierwsze nowy port Surakuz. Odkad tylko przybylam na Sycylie, ten temat zawsze byl na ustach wszystkich, zarowno wladz jak i mieszkancow. Co chwila dowiadywalam sie o nowych planach modernizacji, rekonsctrukcji, innowacji portu. Politycy co rusz obiecywali i informowali o swoich pomyslach i planach. Co wiecej, prace juz sie nawet zaczely, ale potem, bez waznego tak naprawde powodu zostaly zanichane. My, mieszkancy Syrakuz bylismy swiadkami "wynuzania" sie wielkich cementowych blokow jeden po drugim, ktore mialy okazac sie "szkieletem" calego projektu i ktore mialy byc "wrzucone" do morza i co nigdy potem nie nastapilo... A teraz to. Nowy projekt ze zdjeciami i opisami i zakladanym czasem ukonczenia prac (lato 2015)

Firstly, the new port/marina of Siracusa. Ever since I came to Sicily, this port has always been a hot topic. I have heard about reconstruction, modernization, upgrading, transformation projects. Politicians informing, promising and describing their ideas and plans regarding the new port. What's more, the process of building the new port has actually started and then, out of no good reason, stopped. We, Siracusa residents, witnessed emerging big, hideous pieces of cement on the coastline (which supposedly were the "skeleton" for the new project) and which were later meant to be moved/thrown into the water and which obviously never actually happened. And now this. A brand new project with pictures, "demos" and complete information and expected time to complete it (4 years).

 Oto co mozna przeczytac na oficjalnej stronie projektu:

"Nowa Marina di Archimede stanie nad zatoka Porto Grande w Syrakuzach, u podnóża zabytkowej wyspy Ortygia, pomiędzy zachodnim nabrzeżem Sant'Antonio i brzegiem przystani łodzi rybackich. Po dlugim okresie zaniedbania, ten zakątek ziemi będzie żyć nowym życiem i będzie oferować Syrakuzom nowoczesna i funkcjonalna infrastrukture. Obiekt będzie rozciągać się na powierzchni 147.000 metrów kwadratowych, gdzie znajdzie sie seria najnowocześniejszych stoczni i sprzęt do uprawiania żeglarstwa, gdzie bedzie mogliwe garażowanie / montaż lodzi."

This is what you can find out regarding the port on the official website:

"The new Marina di Archimede will stand on the Porto Grande bay in Syracuse, at the foot of the historical Ortygia island, in between the west quay of the Sant’Antonio wharf and the shore quay of the fishing boats’ harbour. Once abandoned and in disgrace, this corner of land will live a new life and will offer Syracuse a modern and functional infrastructure. The facility will extend over a total area equal to 147,000 square metres where cutting-edge boat yards and equipments for yachting and garaging/refitting will also fit in together with the quays.

A oto kilka zdjec a tych dwoch stron:

And here are some pictures taken from these two websites:



















Po drugie, Lady Gaga. Nigdy nie bylam jej fanka, wydawala mi sie po prostu wielkiem komercyjnym produktem marketingowym ubranym w dziwne "konstrukcje", majacym na celu wywolanie skandalu i tym samym wszechobecnosc w mediach. Jej wystepy wyobrazalam sobie zawsze jako typowe dla Madonny show, z tysiacami swietnych tancerzy, milionem efektow specjalnych, gry swiatel, aby tylko "zagluszyc" malo interesujacy glos i wydobyc najbardziej sklandaliczne zachowania Lady Gaga. I co? Wczoraj uslyszlam po raz pierwszy jej wystep na zywo, podczas ubieglotygodnowych demonstracji gejow i lesbijek w Rzymie. Zatkalo mnie. Nie mialam pojecia, ze gra na pianinie (jak sie doczytalam, zaczela lekcje gry w wieku 4 lat!) i ze spiewa tak dobrze na zywo. Posluchajcie sami:

Secondly, Lady Gaga. I was never hooked on her. She seemed to me to be a great commercial product dressed in strange “constructions”, designed to bring about scandal and omnipresence in the media. I always imagined her performances as a typical Madonna-like- shows, with thousands of wonderful dancers, a cascade of special effects, lights, just to "drown out" not very interesting voice and bring out the most scandalous behavior of hers. And then? Well, yesterday, for the very first time, I heard her live performance, during last week gay and lesbian demonstration in Rome. I was speechless. I had no idea that she was playing the piano (I have just read on Wikipedia, she began piano lessons at the age of 4!) and that she sings so well live. Just listen:

Difficult to describe me really. Definitely I am very complicated and ambitious... an aesthete.. sometimes a complainer. Neverhteless I would like to become Miss Independent. But no big words like sacrifice, dedication, devotion, etc... After all, I am a normal working girl who likes to go out, do shopping and having fun with her friends.
