Well, we are in Warsaw, we are within hours of the initial jump of the first game of the EuroBasket in which so many hopes and ambitions have been deposited. And they are certain what they say "intemperate", because the Polish capital has received all temperatures that have nothing to do with heat waves for which has been ridden in recent weeks Eñemanía: chilly, gray skies and even some drop.
It was exactly 16 years since I stepped on Warsaw, but the truth is that little memory of that last visit because he was on his way to Moscow, landing yesterday Saturday I had the impression that I could be in Warsaw or in any other European city, or even English. Before, when pisabas other country could feel at once: to the odor was different. Now, however, many cities look the same. And if before you got a language that was not yours, now the first thing you hear, in a police officer, the organizer of the taxis or the waiter in the bar is almost identical foul-mouthed but broken English through the courses of street.
But at least in Poland recovering that old tradition of coming and having to change money, calculate how much it is going to change and begin to sense what's going to be expensive and cheap. The Poles entered in the European Union five years ago, but have not adopted the euro: they keep the old zlotys , currency these days are changing about 1 euro for 4 zlotys, which etymologically means golden and (as just found on the Wikipedia ...) refers to the ancient gold coins, that this word is known. The tickets, of course, are substantially smaller than the euro, both in width as the top). In one of them found one of Poland's most illustrious astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus , but if you ask a Polish journalist who comes first to the head, more likely to respond to Ryszard Kapuscinski, one of the great reporters of the last decades. I personally recommend reading two of his works and Sha Emperor.
Anyway, between the ambassador's visit, the team's final training session and the time required to move to the city, we spent the day. The hardest thing in the end was down the hall of the hotel at night for dining out something close. At about nine o'clock at night have appeared at least a couple of hundreds of Israeli soldiers, apparently to participate Monday in a ceremony in memory of the victims of the Holocaust, have literally collapsed and elevators. It has blocked many, but not as much as three English tourists with whom we have met in a restaurant near the hotel, hearing us speak of Eurobasket have asked against whom and what time you playing tomorrow Spain. "At nine o'clock," we have responded. "From the morning or night?" ask us again.
We have seen the faces of amazement then, have been to laugh and have excused: "It is understood that we are not in basketball."
