Categories: About other things | Topics: Blog Forum Gdańsk, meeting
At the bus station, I said, passing next to a woman how to get to the center Hewelianum. I associate the name, but I have no idea, where it is – he answers. This is such a thing here? – I asked a young girl, you ask for directions. I have no idea… – muses boy, looking at his companion, who nods his head in the negative. In the end saves me taxi driver. O there, up – explains. – You see this building with that sign? It will turn you against him in the left, and then up the hill, and leads the way. Thank you and I move ahead, noticing after a while the arrows directing the Gdańsk blogs 2011.
It is mid-September, find in the mailbox when mailing an invitation to a conference of bloggers in Gdansk. Why not – I think. – Maybe you can meet friends from the internet or get to know cool people. I register, and two weeks later comes to mail the information, that I was qualified (I have a blog that is cool, hell yeah!). In addition, the organizers provide room and board, anyway – as it turns out later – high quality.
Getting to Gdansk is not easy, train rides are any 6,5 hours. Cuba, who is the speaker during the Forum, I propose to take the car with him, Basia and Maciek. Until we reach the city at night, I open my eyes wide, seeing glowing like a Christmas tree on Christmas refinery. Basia chassis me to Brzeźno, where I spend the first night (The organizers will provide accommodation only from Saturday to Sunday), but because of the renovations we're shooting a little bit around the area, even fired on the tablet maps Maciek. In the end, drawing a figure eight, bumping for the viaducts and watching from afar PGE Arena to reach the. Get out, and the rest going to get to the center. From this, I know what, Basia, Maciek to Cuba and has not yet returned from the ride. Anyone who has seen, anyone knows…
The event itself is fun, But seriously though I know a few take part in it people. I miss some information about other participants, because not everyone praised on their blogs, that they take courses in Gdańsk. I also have the impression, travel arrangements blogosphere that is represented in a small degree. Does everyone currently on the road, and only after I szlajam wypasionych conferences rather than chase the camera for Buddhist monks or defeat of Fatima bike route to Lima?
In the chicken in a sesame seed turns out to be, not only that I was szlajam. To the table, consumption at which I make this chicken breast, approached two girls przesympatyczne. Welcome to, present, We wish each other a tasty and so on. Of course the sacramental question falls: What you write? I answer, truthfully anyway, that the travel. Anne says, she also. We look each other in their IDs. I know your blog! – says Anne. I also know her blog. Anne is Polka on the go. Greetings!
Panel discussions and presentations generally at a decent level, in minus really stands out only show imported from the United blogger – when Rebecca Blood móóóóóówiiiiii, the hall is half asleep, the other half watching semicircular ceiling Hewelianum Centre, bathed in pink and blue light, and the third half moves to the Internet activity (who at the beginning of a little torn). This is a good instance of Raphael Bryndal the opening of the second day of the conference.
I also like when Cuba (okay, finally got there with the rest of the company, where it should reach) recounts the, how the Internet affects the community as an example recent revolution in the Arab countries. Fact, it happens sometimes that the overestimation of the role of networks and new technologies in their course, but on the other hand the world has not found out about this so quickly, what happens in Tunisia, Libya and Iran earlier in the, if not for the Internet. Ba, if not for the Internet is, and I could not sit everyday relationships of Tunisian revolution (at least until, I was evacuated from there until).
Besides the main conference we have BlogSize Hyde Park. It is a place, where bloggers can showcase their small works. Initially, I approach this idea with skepticism, thus giving up part – because that is the next event, I'm afraid little interest, I really can only be hearers of the successive bloggers, occurring after the, and the rest of the participants will be seated in the main hall. And really it is known, simply afraid of the limelight and in my camera wycelowanej. This my innate modesty :) But several times I peeked into the tent and see, that probably is not so bad. Well, maybe next year…
After the first day of the conference participants are invited to a screening of the film Khodorkovsky displayed in the Gdansk Shipyard. I go not only because of the same film, but also out of curiosity, looks like this place. Only, it is after sunset, so yards for a view can not be. So I watch only Khodorkovsky. Leaving aside the whole message of the film talking about corruption in Russia and the consequences of Putin zadzierania, once again come to the conclusion, with men without his mustache looks a lot better, than with the mustache.
I give up for this integration event. When cold and appealing (nose) I reach to a warm hotel room, nothing is able to pull me from under the covers.
The only real disappointment of the conference is reportage photography workshops with classes in the open air. I realize, hour and a half that you can not learn to take photos, but when the leading Renata Dabrowska of the Tri-Election leaves the measure and says disarming frankness, that someone had to do this workshop is for newspaper and media sponsor the meeting fell on her, is beginning to have serious concerns, what it will. It turns out, that legitimate concerns, because in effect we have a workshop, workshops that are not, the open air, which does not exist, led by Mrs., who knows on the shooting, but to a designated role at the conference is not suitable. Unfortunately, I consider it a little too late, to join another meeting theme.
Not staying at the end of the event or the group photo, because I have an appointment in Gdynia with Maciek, with which we were Chernobyl. So I finish the day tasting plum-flavored beer. Pretty good. And on Monday, yet I use the opportunity, I'm in the Tri-City and nuzzle a little bit after the Gdansk. But about this some other time…
Aha, of the conference was still puzzles, canvas bag and badges – such as on the first photograph. Cool, not?

Hi,
Cool relationship :), though perhaps not particularly polished it all was not judging by the photo outdoors :). Well, that high-quality accommodation :). Perhaps over time the event will grow.
And I saw reading this entry, not only that I baptized a category not associated with trips and travel – ” from another barrel”, but once I select on your blog after I found :D
Yours
It
Accommodations were great – I had a very comfortable bed, pillow was resilient, temperature in the room ideal for me to sleep, silence. Almost as nice as the guesthousie in Phnom Penh (in Cambodia was a plus hammocks on the terrace by the lake :)
With this open air it actually came out poorly, I knew, how it will look like, This immediately zapisałabym the np. the technological workshop where you can find was reportedly a few things about this, how to improve technically a blog.
To co, if the event will grow this year can be seen in Gdansk? ;)
I do not know if my blog would qualify me ;). I think, that can also be without a special invitation.
You have an invitation, but who knows, what are the selection criteria… I somehow managed to pass through a fine sieve to eliminate :)))
For the year no longer probably will not go wrong, especially on the roads of Gdansk. :-)))
And so generally it alone I've never been in Hewelianum Centre, but I know where it is. :-)
For the year is supposed to be somewhere else, Each year changes location. We will see :)
Well, we'll see :0. You can always try, just as they do not like it can fall into the abyss of despair. Therefore, a good think about it in the next year or risk :D
Also wondered how come there in August I found. It was fun, nice, but count on it than that I go again. Not this league;D
Yours:)
And I will go willingly in total for the year, if given the chance :)
Every year the event should be getting better. And besides, I was still a lot to see in the Tri- :D
This is what I meant; if the opportunity arises… and as we know God's judgments are unsearchable, and organizers of the forum:)
How will the next times it Gda let me know. I try to get well oprowadzić. Until then, may eventually attaches itself to the history of this city (I live here only 7 years!).
:-)
Okay, I walked round because this Brzezno (where they slept) and the very center (wdrapaniem including the tower of St Marien). A, and yet Granary Island, where he researched the most crumbling, very few of which have already been – miejscówka interesting and evening there bałabym spin :)
And you know, I have a problem with Warsaw, I live here already (with breaks) more than 8 years, and I know it is still very poorly. I am a little ashamed :|
Say, you know better Rzeszow. folds. :D
Rzeszow I know very well. I know how to reach the Millennium Hall and Kerfura next, I find the train station and even in the densest fog.
