Weekend life, feels almost like home ;)

I had a great weekend time! It was the first weekend full of activities and nice encounters here in Iceland because during the previous weekend (the one when I arrived) I was completely worn out and exhausted after the night journey and all the past days od preparations though didn't do much.

So many activities, new people and events, I was so exited with the new possibilities that open for me in Reykyavík!!! :))))

On Saturday the weather was really fantastic so I was so enthusiastic to have a walk at the snowy Seltjarnarnes coast just before the sunset. I don't need to comment on this, just have a look at the pictures, ICELAND IS SUCH A DIVINE PLACE FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS!!! :)))
It was quite cold but not very windy and the sunset light made the landscape so picturesque and warm.

Cooking together is also the one of the activities that I really enjoy here. And it's so great that I am getting in touch with so many Polish people, my new friends and colleagues :) Also I already had some nice meetings with Icelanders and couchsurfers from abroad that are coming to town. And I was very happy to meet my Icelandic friend that was hosting me in July and September when I came to Reykjavík for the first and second time :)








Sunday was also fantastic even despite the greyish sky. After a meeting in cosy Laundromat Cafe (and having done the laundry in the public place for the first time!) I joined the Polish people and colleagues from ProjectPolska.is  association at Bio Paradis cinema to celebrate 22nd Final of Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP).

 I met so many friendly people from the Polish association and I am very happy to start working with them on some cultural and social projects very soon. I'm very enthusiastic about it! :)

I talked to Polish Ambassador and his wife during this event (they are very friendly and smiling couple) and got some nice ideas about possibilities of work here. I also hope to take a part in WOŚP caritative auction next year. And for the dessert we got a huge heart-shaped cake and a concert of Myrra Rós that has really powerful voice!

Finally in the evening I was so overwhelmed by all this new events and prospects for future.. that I couldn't fall asleep! And the new week for sure will bring new light into my life here :)
