Hi there!
Barcelona - one of the most popular tourists' destination in Spain. It's the capital city of Catalonia, a region located in the Mediterranean coast.
The city is famous thanks to the 19th century modernist architecture. The best known of those building was design by Antonio Gaudi - Sagrada Familia. It's an unfinished church. I saw it few years ago and it's one of the most precious building that I have ever seen.
Beside that Park Guell is another unusual place. It's a public park system composted of gardens and architectonics elements. My favourite part is the multicoloured mosaic salamander which is located at the main entrance.
Casa Mila is another monument designed by Gaudi. The facade it's really innovative. In 1984, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Barcelona is not only an architecture. This city is full on different culture. You can meet so many people that have an amazing personality. Everyone seems happy there.
It's a city that I would like to visit over and over again. It has this unique vibe that I really enjoy.
Everyone should go to Barcelona and just relax. Look through the city and appreciate the view and the surrounding.
Barcelona - city that never sleep and that will never get bored.
Thanks

Luigi Pirandella "Six Characters in search of an Author" book review
Hi there!
Luigi Pirandello - one of the best Italian writer. I decided to write my master's thesis about this author. One of the book that I am going to analyse is already mention in the tittle "Six Characters in search of an Author". I would like to present this book and recommend it.
It's a play written and first performer in 1921. It premiered in the Theatre Valle in Rome and it wasn't the best premier. A reaction was rather negative and audience didn't enjoy it. In a short time the reactions changed and it was named one of the best play in the history of theatre.
This play start with the preparation of an acting company to rehearse other play. When the play was about to begin, it's interrupted by a group of six people, that considered themselves as actors. One of them, the Father is saying that there are unfinished characters in search of an author to finish their story. The Director is shocked and starts to listen their story. They recount their life and their really difficult relation with themselves. After listening to their tangle story, the Director decided to perform it. Characters are really serious and particular about the scene, so they want everything to be as realistic as possible. The scene begins between the Madame Pace and Stepdaughter. The line between reality and acting is blurred. We don't know any more what is the truth and what is just a play.
The scene ends in a dramatic way, because there are two suicides. However, I wouldn't say who and why, because you have to read the book to find out.
The message that Pirandello wanted to present through this play is that everything is a fiction. We don't know any more what is real, what is the truth. Also, we change all the time. We wear different masks. There are not permanent line, everything fleets. We don't know who we are any more. Life is a journey that can be change in every moment.
I think that this play is fantastic and everyone should read it.
Thanks

Foreign cosmetics brand easy accessible in polish Sephora
Hi there!
Today I decided to write about the situation that is happening in cosmetic store in Poland, in particular in Sephora. Recently, there are a lot of new cosmetics brands that appeared there, like Anastasia Beverly Hills, Too Faced, Urban Decay and many more. In the past it was really difficult to buy products from those brand, because there were only available online. Now there are easy accessible and everyone can buy them, obviously if they can afford them.
I think that it's really cool that brand from United States or England want to sale their products in Poland. It means that our country is in a constant development. On the other side, for me, those brand now are not that exciting how it was in the past. Few year ago when I bought something in a foreign country that wasn't available in Poland, it was really exciting, because pretty much no one had this product. Now it changed and sometimes it gets a bit difficult to have something original, that no one has. It may seem weird, but that's the truth. We always want something that we can't have in easy access. When we have it or it's really easy to have it, it doesn't get exciting any more.
To sum up, I'am really happy that there are a lot of different brands in Sephora. We can go and just buy them. Also, we can see products in a store so it's more convenient to choose our shade or to swatch a product. We don't have to spend hours searching online to find products and also we don't have to pay for the shipping which sometimes can be really expensive.
However, with these phenomena the value of this brand has changed. Now they are not that "cool" as they were in the past. Maybe I'm the only one that think that way.

Venice - a beautiful city that may disappear
Hi there!
Today I would like to write few words about one of the most popular cities in Italy - Venice.
A city that is unique, because is separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges. Every time when you visit this city, it might by your last time. Why? Because the city has a huge problem with water and to more precise the ground is made from mud and every year Venice sinks a few millimetres. Beside that this city it's still the most popular attraction in north-east Italy.
There are few ways to visit this city. You can walk around, but also you can use the vaporetto which are very popular. It's a water bus which carries a lot of people around the city. Unfortunately it doesn't enter the small canals of the city. To visit that you must use gondola, but they are quite expensive. I think it's worth the splurge, especially during a romantic trip with a loved one.
Venice has an incredible culture, traditions and crafts. There are tuns of masks that you can buy, because of the famous Venice Carnival.
I visited Venice two years ago. It wasn't the first time that I have been in this lovely city. It really beautiful and magnificent. The only downside are prices. Everything it's really expensive, especially food. Even espresso can cost 8 euros. In comparison, in other part of Italy espresso typically cost 1-2 euros.
It's a beautiful city that everyone should visit at least once in their life.
Thanks
