The office relocation has nothing to do with Mr Palikot and his Movement encamping themselves in the same building as us, but was planned long before they moved in upstairs from us. Below: his campaign trailer, chained to a parking meter. It perplexed the parking wardens; for this was not a car - so how could they give it a ticket? Clamp it for the duration of the campaign? That's exactly what Mr Palikot would have wanted! So, they left it as was...
Anyway, over the past seven (gosh!) years, I've grown very fond of Powiśle, an under-rated part of Warsaw, central (three bus stops from the Central Station), yet very quiet (click label 'Powiśle' below for all posts relating to this part of town).The new location's great for restaurants, shops, public transport... but I will miss Powiśle.

I have very fond memories of that office - of all of you lot really :) Hope your new home is well-insulated and the front step occasionally cleared of ice.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in Nowogrodzka 13. I have had more moves than hot dinners in warsaw but after 5 years you must be attached to the old place. You are right though about the location - I passed it this lunchtime when a crazy taxi driver decided to take me on a magical mystery tour from Polytecnik to the Warsaw stock exchange! Still the PLN 20.40 was well worth it for the tree lined streets and low levels of traffic
ReplyDeleteOffice moves are always useful for "finding" documents, books and artefacts which one placed somewhere safe and then forgot where. Good luck in the new offices. I remember the original room in the building opposite Ogrod Saski.
