Singapore skyline

It's been already two months since my semester in Asia came to an end. I look at the pictures of Singapore skyline and think of all the amazing people I got to know, breathtaking views I saw, 5 great moths of travelling, fried rice, and talks at the stairs of PGP at 5 am. Surprisingly, I barely have pictures from Marina Bay Sands area. On the other hand, I saw it a hundred times and won't forget what it looks like any time soon.

Formula 1 Petronas - Malaysia Grand Prix

I remember when I was a little girl and every Sunday I would watch Formula 1 with the male part of the family (grandpa, dad and brother). So when I got the chance to see it live in Malaysia I didn't hesitate long (especially since the tickets were super cheap compared to Europe - around $40). The event itself was one of the things I'm glad I did, but probably won't do again. There was one great disappoinment here - the cars were not moving as fast as I expected them to! Absurd as it may sound, I guess when you see them moving from the ground level it seems so much faster. Well, they do move 300 km/h so it's pretty fast. Anyways, it was also super loud, the earplugs were huge help, but still it was almost impossible to communicate with others. Still, great experience and a lot of fun!

Chopin for Easter in Botanical Gardens

Monthly classical music concerts in Botanical Gardens in Singapore are a real treat for all music lovers. For Easter Polish Embassy organized a special concert of a polish pianist Mr. Grzegorz Kinda. Nice accent for my first Easter away from home - instead of traditional Easter breakfast I ate at Sumo Salad, so this concert made me feel a little more at home. Mr Kinda gave a wonderful performance of some of the greatest pieces of Chopin and other pianist. The amazing atmosphere of the amphitheater made the event more spectacular.
