The examination session

How is your examination session going? I hope you don't have any problems. I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you good luck and great results. As for me, I'm very hopeful.

We've passed the tests, we can also pass the exams! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :)

Enter the Metro

Did you ever read a book which you couldn't leave while reading? Recently, after many suggestions, I've put "Metro 2033" in my library. Its size discourages, but the book is really interesting, so it isn't perceptible. The action takes place in the post-apocalyptic world in 2033. Precisely in Moscow, or rather underground Moscow. People live only in an atomic bunker. The biggest one is the metro in Moscow. In the Glukhovsky's novel we can see a social disintegration, a heroic fight for survival, but also a beautiful side of human - selfless help, honour, love. The novel raises various issues, but all of them are related to the entirety. The book shows that no matter how scary the world can become, we won't be here alone. If I've interested you, just "Enter the Metro". ;)

Military museums in Poznań

At the beginning of the month I've made a small tour. I visited some military museums in Poznań and I must say that I'm impressed. I started from the Greater Poland military museum on the old town. There is a huge exhibition of medieval guns and weapons. It is a two-storey museum, so there is a lot of space for exhibits. Later, I went to the Museum of Arms located in the Poznań Citadel. In front of the building there are some tanks. The museum is in the shelter which makes an exceptional atmosphere. There is a lot of military equipment, but the greatest attraction is the machinery park located above the museum. There are many tanks, planes and helicopters. If you are interested in wars, you need to go there.


It's cool to witness the history

Recently, we are witnesses of a new revolution in Ukraine. We can see how the government can't manage social changes. A peaceful demonstration of the Euromaidan has changed into the civil war before our eyes. We can observe how the forces of the Berkut fight with the demonstrators and how the protestors pass from defensive to offensive and occupy the government's buildings. On the other hand, the society associate and goes hand in hand with the units of Berkut against the Euromaidan. The country is divided. Nobody knows what could happen next and who will take advantage from it: European Union, Russia... No one knows, but certainly the Ukrainian citizens won't gain much.
