Your coffee exactly and always where you are

2008-07-13T23:44:00.001+02:00

For Jack Kerouac and alike. On the road.

Old-school coffee.

Cesky lamborghini

2008-06-14T23:29:00.001+02:00

Not a car, just sugar.

Politics again: not for leftists #2

2008-06-14T23:28:00.000+02:00

Balkans #9: for relaxin' time...

2008-06-14T23:27:00.001+02:00

... make it Minerva time!

Italy #5: Zanetti

2008-06-14T23:26:00.000+02:00

Italian coffee. They are really good at it!

Turkey #3: Istinye Park

2008-06-14T23:23:00.001+02:00

This sugar comes from a huge mall in downtown Istanbul. You can see some pictures made by me here.

Just as simple as that: sugar, white death wish.

Coffee for you: Budapest

2008-06-14T23:20:00.001+02:00

Still looking for white edition of this sugar.

Balkans #8: ordinary sugar

2008-06-14T23:19:00.001+02:00

Again, some people cut it on the Balkans. Respect.

Balkans #7: an ad

2008-06-14T23:18:00.003+02:00

A fork, a knife, a boat and a bird. White eatable bird. A crane?

Czech Republic again

2008-06-14T23:17:00.001+02:00

Somewhere away from Prague.

Instead of sugar #2: A dietor

2008-06-14T23:16:00.000+02:00

1g instead. Sugar is dead.

Balkans #6: established in 1870

2008-06-14T23:14:00.003+02:00

138 years ago they served first coffee there...

Turkey #2: simply red

2008-06-14T23:13:00.000+02:00

Will it join EU any soon?

Willkommen zu WIld Wild West

2008-06-14T23:12:00.001+02:00

Welcome. I don't have a gun in my hands...

Italy #4: A flag

2008-06-14T23:11:00.000+02:00

Italian design, Polish mutation.

Balkans #5: 1892 again

2008-06-14T23:10:00.000+02:00

What happened in 1892?

Sugar marketing

2008-06-14T23:09:00.000+02:00

A spoon, coffee and sugar. Three of a perfect pair.

Balkans #4: A man cutting the cane

2008-06-14T23:02:00.002+02:00

Just look at the picture above. Balkan style.

Sugar used in Kubus/Tymbark etc.

2008-06-14T23:00:00.002+02:00

Maspex is the major producer of fruit juices in Poland and in the region. They use this sugar to sweeten the juice.

Italy #3: cane from there

2008-06-14T22:59:00.001+02:00

Canna Demerara. Must be a beautiful Italian woman.

Cane sugar #2: US and A

2008-06-14T22:58:00.000+02:00

Words, words, words.

Italy #2: not for sale

2008-06-14T22:56:00.001+02:00

Precious. Not for sale separately. Only with what?

Jacobs sugar

2008-06-14T22:55:00.000+02:00

Natural synergy: Jacobs and white sugar. Double poison :-)

Italy #1: Zucchero semolato

2008-06-14T22:53:00.001+02:00

Italiano vero.

Velpro sugar red

2008-06-14T22:51:00.001+02:00

Such bad design. I wouldn't try this sugar no way.

Czech Republic #1: Just plain sugar

2008-06-14T22:45:00.002+02:00

Sugar from Prague. Don't forget to recycle - see the sign in the middle.

Balkans #3: Sugar from the lakes

2008-06-14T22:44:00.001+02:00

Plitvicke Jezera - probably one of the nicest regions in Croatia further from the sea.

Sugar from Albania

2008-06-14T22:42:00.001+02:00

Durres. A city in the country of pill-boxes.

Sugar from "Uncle Tom's hut"

2008-06-14T22:40:00.002+02:00

Sugar cane - so many slaves used to work in the field in the past. Who's working there now? I remember a story that people from Haiti go to Dominicana to work clandestino/without papers... Haiti is much poorer than Dominicana, that's why.

Fast and furious #4: BP's chain in Poland

2008-06-14T22:37:00.001+02:00

Wild beans can help you survive a long driving night.

Davidoff sugar

2008-06-14T22:36:00.000+02:00

Black as hell. Contrary to light smell of Davidoff cigars and parfumes.

Parlament sugar

2008-06-14T22:34:00.000+02:00

Close to some parliamentary body, more or less.

Trieste 1892

2008-06-14T22:32:00.001+02:00

Who was Hausbrandt? Anybody knows?

Balkans #2: Somewhere in Croatia

2008-06-14T22:31:00.000+02:00

Look at the falling grains of coffee.

Balkans #1: Zagreb in Croatia

2008-06-14T22:30:00.000+02:00

Croatia. They play very well on Euro 2008, right?

Sugar from another planet

2008-06-14T22:29:00.000+02:00

Folks up there on Saturn drink coffee as well.

Arabic sugar for Arabica coffee?

2008-06-14T22:27:00.000+02:00

Look at the waiter, he must be in a hurry.

Political sugar #1: Not for liberals/leftists

2008-06-14T22:26:00.001+02:00

Only for Berlusconi's, Sarkozy's or Kaczynski's alike.

Cane sugar #1: From nowhere to Warsaw

2008-06-14T22:24:00.002+02:00

No idea where this sugar came from. I don't like thin sugars. Prefer square small sweeties with a message on that.

Improvement at LOT! in terms of sugar, at least :-)

2008-05-28T18:04:00.001+02:00

I already wrote about LOT Polish Airlines here. Seems they read what I wrote and improved sugar quality :-)
Good for them, anyway.

Advertisement #1: a beer on sugar

2008-05-28T18:00:00.001+02:00

Seems you have to add some sugar to a beer to make it work like a bomb or something.

Be more sexy - use honey!

2008-05-28T17:55:00.001+02:00

A friend of mine visited me recently. He was hungry as always, even though I prepared a lot of food for breakfast. He asked if I have honey. He was desperate to eat some bread and honey.
So I gave him what is above.
PS.
Originally from Bosnia, used instead of sugar as sweetener for tea or coffee. Picture above has historic value now after being eaten by Foka.

Turkey - will sweeten up your life, for sure

2008-05-28T17:53:00.001+02:00

For relaxin' and vacation time, make it Antalya/Kemer/Belek/Side/Alanya/Marmaris etc. time. Strongly recommended.

Sugar twins #6: five star sugar

2008-05-28T17:51:00.000+02:00

Thin sugar good sugar. Especially when you don't use it at all :-) just like me.

Sugar twins #5: they had a different FATHER :-) though

2008-05-28T17:48:00.001+02:00

Black is bigger, and has bigger, everyone knows about it. The same with sugar: look at our black brother and compare to the white one. See the difference.

Metro, subway, tube.... FAST FOOD sugar

2008-05-28T17:45:00.002+02:00

I never fell in love with Subway. Seems not many people in Poland did as there is no Subway sandwiches in Poland at all. Maybe they should start preparing hamburgers, ain't?

Adam&Eve: king of all hotels

2008-05-19T18:14:00.002+02:00

I have never ever been to such a hotel before... No further comment, just see the pictures on my another blog: a snapshot from Adam&Eve.

Airlines #7: Turkish Airlines

2008-05-19T18:11:00.001+02:00

Turkish joined Star Alliance in April. Yet another possibility to collect Miles&More points :-)

Airlines #6: Atlas Jet from Turkey

2008-05-19T18:07:00.002+02:00

I liked Atlas - they are very flexible. You can change the date of your flight with no surcharge! If you have a ticket, for example, for Istanbul-Antalya route, you can call them and change the time or date of your flight. This helped me a lot.

Fast and furious #3: le Big Mac

2008-05-16T16:09:00.002+02:00

King of the fast food. McDonalds. No quarterpounders in Europe yet, le Big Mac and a lot of other cliches in Europe. Still, McWorld has a very strong position and offers THE SAME quality food everywhere. Sometimes it helps, like in India...
PS.
McDonalds is no doubt the best water-closet (WC) network in the world. You can piss, take a leak or shit as much as you can, usually for free...
But in Cannes, close to famous Palace, you have to enter a PIN code to enter the toilette.

Fast and furious #2: chicken world

2008-05-16T16:07:00.002+02:00

Kentucky Fried Chicken. Just a chicken to some, the only fast-food-to-eat-in to others. Sometimes just perfect for a hangover or a quickie :-) this time without any sexual connection: quick lunch.

Fast and furious #1: a whopper world

2008-05-16T16:01:00.002+02:00

I like whoppers and can't do anything about it. There were times, not so long ago, when to eat a whopper you had to travel a long long way from Poland.
Now, with just one Burger King in whole Poland (Zlote Tarasy in Warsaw), it's still a hassle for people outside Warsaw. Enjoy! and don't forget Pulp Fiction:
- I don't know. I don't eat at the Burger King!

He deals the cards as a meditation

2008-05-16T15:07:00.002+02:00

"...And those he plays never suspect
He doesnt play for the money he wins
He doesnt play for the respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But thats not the shape of my heart"

Sting (I liked him at that time :-)

Icecream and sugar: good stuff!

2008-05-13T16:52:00.002+02:00

The best Polish ice-cream is no doubt Grycan stuff! I like it a lot, packaged or served "live" on Unii Lubelskiej Square in central Warsaw. Strongly recommended, may lead to addiction.

3D sugar #4: Made in France

2008-05-08T16:57:00.001+02:00

I recently realised what is this dialog in Big Blue about:
- Antonio. Find me the Frenchman. Find me Jacques Mayole.
They were looking for sugar, ain't? (just kidding)

3D sugar #3: Hungarian design

2008-05-08T16:55:00.004+02:00

I remember when I took this sugar. I had some problems with my teeth. To be exact, my artificial tooth fell out of my mouth and I had to look for it on my knees in one of the shops... I finally found it, was able to stick it and went for a coffee. Holy shit.

3D sugar #2: snows of Switzerland

2008-05-08T16:55:00.001+02:00

This one comes from Switzerland, no idea where I took it from. But I like it, do you?

3D sugar #1: Illy Lilly La

2008-05-08T16:52:00.001+02:00

Some companies tend to be XXIst century oriented and make 3D sugar. Good for them!

Sweet pleasure

2008-05-06T14:17:00.000+02:00

Sweet pleasure. Good oldschool look and more. What's inside?

High quality Czech sugar

2008-05-06T14:12:00.001+02:00

4 grams of white powder, made in Czech Republic. Will sweet up your life for sure.

Warsaw airport: Louis de Funes

2008-05-06T14:08:00.001+02:00

Unfortunately, the prices in this place are not funny at all... Crazy, because of location, probably.

Sugar in pizza

2008-05-06T14:05:00.001+02:00

Strange? Well, not necessarily so. You need some sugar to make a pizza, ain't?

If you wanna be more sexy, U must drink a lot of PEPSI

2008-05-06T14:02:00.001+02:00

Go to Mama to get some cookie!

2008-05-06T13:58:00.001+02:00

Biscuit. Blitzkrieg. Pitzbuin.

Metro, subway, tube... profi sugar

2008-05-06T13:56:00.001+02:00

This must be some advertisement. Or a metrosexual sugar, who knows?

Do you have a concept for your life?

2008-05-06T13:55:00.002+02:00

If not, call this number above. Those guys will help you outright.

Brown sugar definition: Brooklyn, NY

2008-05-06T13:50:00.002+02:00

I like New York in June, how about you?
In fact, any time is good for NYC travel and hang around. I wish I could travel there again this year... To feel this New York State of Mind, meet Edith&Kingpin and drink some coffee at Greenwich Village Starbucks. Yep.

Brasil #1: Santana coffee

2008-05-06T13:45:00.002+02:00

There are so many connections with Santana.
Carlos - musician. Volkswagen Santana - the most popular volkswagen in China. Coffee Santana - at its best. Hope after Santana coffee you don't get corazon espinado.

Warsaw places #1: Brama

2008-05-06T13:37:00.002+02:00

Once upon a time when I was student, there was a Brama on Marszalkowska St... Hidden in a patio close to TR Warszawa, it was my favourite when it comes to free time with friends. Since then, something bad happened to the chain and now I usually head for Karma.

Sugar biorythm of life

2008-05-04T23:46:00.001+02:00

As far as I know, sugar is the white death? Better not to use at all, eliminate.
This sugar shows a clever PR concept: take sugar, you will go up and up. Amazing, isn't it?

Buongiorno --- after the May holidays: back 2 work

2008-05-04T23:44:00.001+02:00

Northern Italy. The richer part of IT. Anyway, as compared to Switzerland, very much different in terms of cleaniness. Just like at home, I felt.

E = mc^2

2008-05-01T21:29:00.002+02:00

Did you read about the "twins paradox" in Einstein's theory? Ok, imagine we have twins, 2 girls. We put one of them into the spaceship which will travel with a speed close to the speed of light. The other girl stays on earth. What happens?
According to the theory of relativity, if the twins meet again after the travel ends, their age will be different.
This may explain why one of the sugars is white, the other grey :-)

Switzerland: proud of the flag

2008-05-01T21:27:00.001+02:00

I like the colours: a cow and Swiss flag very close. Seems like the connection between the two is sugar. Fine with me.

Sugar mouse, water, flower etc.

2008-05-01T21:11:00.001+02:00

One of the many special things about Switzerland is sugar from one of the pensions in Saas Fee. Or maybe it's just for children's sake, I don't know.

Sugar twins #4: Sarajevo

2008-04-30T18:56:00.002+02:00

This poem covers all my emotions about the city when I was there in 2004 and when I read the book "To end a war" by Holbrooke

Czeslaw Milosz:
Sarajevo

-Perhaps this is not a poem but at least I say what I feel.

Now that a revolution really is needed, those who were fervent are quite cool.

While a country murdered and raped calls for help from the Europe which it had trusted, they yawn.

While statesmen choose villainy and no voice is raised to call it by name.

The rebellion of the young who called for a new earth was a sham, and that generation has written the verdict on itself.

Listening with indifference to the cries of those who perish because they are after all just barbarians killing each other.

And the lives of the well-fed are worth more than the lives of the starving.

It is revealed now that their Europe since the beginning has been a deception, for its faith and its foundation is nothingness.

And nothingness, as the prophets keep saying, brings forth only nothingness, and they will be led once again like cattle to slaughter.

Let them tremble and at the last moment comprehend that the word Sarajevo will from now on mean the destruction of their sons and the debasement of their daughters.

They prepare it by repeating: “We at least are safe,” unaware that what will strike them ripens in themselves.

Sugar twins #3: Buda and Pest

2008-04-30T18:52:00.003+02:00

Located in former Central Police building, this hotel has excellent location, great level of service, wonderful and big rooms. It's a perfect base for a bum like me who likes to walk through Budapest at all times.

Sugar twins #2: Bangkok

2008-04-30T18:50:00.001+02:00

One of my dreams: go to Bangkok. Not this year as my holidays are scheduled for August.
Bangkok is probably one of those places where you can drop off, tune in and relax. Maybe next year, maybe maybe maybe...

Sugar twins #1: cane and white

2008-04-30T18:48:00.002+02:00

I love to add sugar cane to caipirinha or caipiroska. They say sugar cane is a healthy sugar, correct? At least there's one more reason to collect both: brown and white. Like in life.

Instead of sugar: sweeteners family

2008-04-30T18:44:00.002+02:00

Some people don't use any sugar just like me. The others tend to use sweeteners like those above. Aspartam-based or other stuff. I like the colours, that's it.

Hotels of the world #3: Danube Bratislava

2008-04-30T18:38:00.002+02:00

I strongly advise you not to use the facilities of this place. Good location, dramatic level of service, very noisy (close to main street).
My ex-CEO told me to book this place because of price, but the price wasn't that low. And I couldn't sleep at night... which anyway made me walk into Bratislava night...
Do you remember the movie "Hostel"? Yes, Bratislava has something special. I like the Cuban bar in the centre with good cigars, mojitos and live music. You will enjoy.
