			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Białystok is a city often perceived as a dull, provincial place, where nothing really happens. Few concerts, few bookshops, very few music stores, empik opens only when almost all the people in the city are at work&#8230; I must say that was my view as well until a very short time ago – when I took my decision to leave the car for emergencies and start commuting by bus or on foot. That proved to be crucial to my realising once again why I loved Białystok before I moved to Warsaw to study, why the city makes people feel so comfortable, why you should visit the Wedel café and why Białystok’s empik is not that bad after all&#8230; That was also when I understood that the way we see our city is almost entirely a consequence of our own choices: of lifestyles, daily routines, paths we walk on etc. Mainly so. (<em>justyna_t</em>)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If the misery of recent weather puts you on the brink of a coma, a simple remedy is within reach:</p>
<ul>
<li>On another wet afternoon, when you seem to be mentally and physically at your lowest ebb, head straight for the Wedel place next to Akcent bookshop.</li>
<li>You don&#8217;t want to have any of those fancy desserts laced with chocolate.</li>
<li>Pick a knowledgeably looking member of staff to speak to (the tall girl with glasses is really professional) and explain in plain Polish what you need.</li>
<li>Ask her to place a scoop of vanilla ice-cream into a coffee cup, then pour two cups of strongest, freshly made espresso coffee over the ice, and serve it immediately. If not sooner.</li>
<li>Sip your coffee slowly and spoon the melting ice-cream. From your seat by the window watch the building/excavation site in Rynek, waiting for the caffeine to enter your system.</li>
<li>When you feel power run back into your limbs, leave the table and go singing in the rain.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In October 2005 a group of philosophers, sociologists, historians and geographers from across Europe gathered at the conference in Białowieża to discuss the frontier identity in the New Europe, as seen from the countries they represented. Last December, when professor M. Kowalska (the faculty of sociology at University of Białystok) came and offered Global Village the job to co-edit the proceedings of the conference in English and French, we took the promising challenge. Six months on and the book has just been published.</p>
<p>These are not the kind of texts you&#8217;d run your eyes over if you shy away from history or current affairs. But if you don&#8217;t, you qualify as a dedicated reader.</p>
<p>An excerpt from Marek Siemek&#8217;s article:</p>
<p>?&#8230;the collapse of communist systems in Central and Eastern Europe was insufficient to fill, or at least substantially diminish, the gap between the West and East of the continent. This gap was created by a tough and merciless difference between the pre-modern and modern forms of socialization rather than by an ideological and military confrontation between &#8220;the totalitarian Communism&#8221; and &#8220;the democratic capitalism&#8221;. The gap can be gradually closed only on the way to social modernization, whose essence is building of an enlightened civil society organizing its life and actions in a rational manner within the framework of modern institution of the state of law.</p>
<p>This means that the essence of modernization is, for European countries known today as &#8220;post-communist&#8221;, constituted by the demolition of the East which exists in us. It is in this sort of East that the all-embracing immaturity of these countries and their incapacity in the face of the twentieth century&#8217;s challenges is today concentrated and symbolically expressed. This East, understood as the quintessence of parochial provincialism, intolerance and aggressive hostility towards aliens, nationalism hidden behind the &#8220;patriotic&#8221; or &#8220;God and fatherland&#8221; demagogy, ideological obstinacy and blindness; in short: all the through-and-through irrational non-transparency of social and intellectual life, is rooted much deeper in people&#8217;s mentality that one could have expected. It is this factor that constitutes the greatest obstacle on the road to modernization?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230; is a hectic time, but somehow we are all able to make this last bit of extra effort and have some fun. This year it&#8217;s a school show by a bunch of Global Village students and teachers, for themselves, parents and friends. It&#8217;s all about summer (a countdown to holiday), water (The Enormous Crocodile, dramatised), and love (Romeo and Juliet, simplified).</p>
<p>They are staging the show at Teatr Szkolny, Akademia Teatralna, Sienkiewicza 14, on Thursday, 14 June, at 5 PM. Anybody can come and see, entrance is free, but arrive early to avoid disappointment, the space is limited.</p>
<p>How about this little gem from Roald Dahl&#8217;s story:</p>
<p>A bit further on, The Enormous Crocodile met Muggle-Wump, the Monkey. Muggle-Wump was sitting in a tree, eating nuts.<br />
&#8220;Hello, Crocky,&#8221; said Muggle-Wump. &#8220;What are you up to now?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I have secret plans and clever tricks,&#8221; said the Crocodile.<br />
&#8220;Would you like some nuts?&#8221; asked Muggle-Wump.<br />
&#8220;I have better things to eat than nuts,&#8221; sniffed the Crocodile.<br />
&#8220;I didn?t think there was anything better than nuts,&#8221; said Muggle-Wump.<br />
&#8220;Ah-ha,&#8221; said the Enormous Crocodile,<br />
&#8220;The sort of things that I&#8217;m going to eat have fingers, toe-nails, arms and legs and feet!&#8221;<br />
Muggle-Wump went pale and began to shake all over. &#8220;You aren&#8217;t really going to gobble up a little child, are you?&#8221; he said.<br />
&#8220;Of course I am,&#8221; said the Crocodile. &#8220;Clothes and all. They taste better with the clothes on.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Oh, you horrid hoggish croc!&#8221; cried Muggle-Wump. &#8220;You slimy creature! I hope the buttons and buckles all stick in your throat and choke you to death!&#8221;<br />
The Crocodile grinned up at Muggle-Wump and said, &#8220;I eat monkeys, too.&#8221; And quick as a flash, with one bite of his huge jaws, he bit through the tree that Muggle-Wump was sitting in, and down it came. But just in time, Muggle-Wump jumped into the next tree and swung away through the branches. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leon Tarasewicz has brought part of his international pack of friends to the region again. They are touring all those semi-hidden places in search of links between the past and present, so abruptly and painfully broken here around mid-twentieth century. Last Saturday evening at Willa Sokrates in Krynki, Polish was the least spoken language when the host and three of his visitors read in turn Janowicz&#8217;s &#8216;Miniatures&#8217; in Belorusian, Italian and English.</p>
<p>The group&#8217;s densely packed week culminates with Leon&#8217;s new exhibition at Arsenal Gallery on Friday afternoon. This inevitably takes us back to May 1995, when a curator of his previous exhibition asked if we could give them a hand preparing it over a weekend. We hapilly agreed of course, not knowing yet what we were letting ourselves in for. When we entered the gallery&#8217;s first-floor rooms, we saw stark white walls randomly covered with splashes of primary colours. Then the artist gave us a supersonic course in the painting technique he adopted for his exhibition, and off we started. That weekend we covered hundreds square metres of walls, floor to ceiling, one room in dabs of sky-blue and daffodil-yellow, some other room in blood-red and grass-green, yet another one in horizintal stripes of all sunset colours. Soon, with our aching arms, we learned about some artists&#8217; toil – Leon certainly is one of them. We also learned about the hallucinogenic effect of painting – vivid colours danced in front of us, even with the eyelids closed, for days on. And that&#8217;s how we met Leon.</p>
