Back where I belong :)

Hi there, you infidels!!Silence, I kill you...

So I am back here. Tabas, Yazd...
A few months ago, I didn't think I'd agree to go back, but here I am.For some time.

So the trip. The trip was quite ok. We started on Friday, 6:00 o'clock train to Katowice. Then we had to fill all the necessary documents, collect the equipment. After that we (me and my mate from Poznan) spent the rest of the day in Chorzow. Booked a room in a hostel located in the park where Stadion Slaski is :) And then it started snowing and all I had was a light jacket. But what the hell. We had a short trip round the park and to the nearest Carrefour to buy some polish beer (last one in at least 3 months).
Saturday was when the air journey started. First to the Pyrzowice airport. There we met the rest of the "Wreckless crew" :) The check-in (I had to repack my luggage and use my awsome communication and negotiation skills on the Lufthansa lady to let me pass with 6k of baggage over the limit-those who know me, know that i am irresistible so it was a piece of cake :) ),passport control and there we were - no way back :)
The Frankfurt airport did not change much. I had the biggest steak of my life. Unfortunatelly the price reflected its size :)
The flight to Tehran and the last drop of alcohol for a long, long time ;) Yes, i know that alcohol has been mentioned recently way more than the average but you must remember where I am...
And finally we arrived in Tehran, went through two baggage controls and were taken to a hotel. Quite nice I must admit. But we only had a two hours' sleep. This is the reason for my unfortunate incident the following morning.
After breakfast i was just about to leave the hotel and get into a taxi. So happy and thoughtless as I am, I banged right into the glass door. :) A loud bang . Hallo, Iran. This is Lucas coming back and wants everyone to know that :)
Then Tehran-Tabas and we were taken to the camp. Work camp :) Just joking.
Not the same one as before but really nice. Though the first impression was a bit different it is now all back into shape. Each of us has a room, own bathroom and kitchen. The place is quie tidy, people nice and food better than the last time.

It's been a week now and we all are getting used to the new/old lifestyle. Guess it's not bad 'cause the time is passing by quite fast and this is important.

I'll be back in Poland in July (most probably). So i'll miss the Euro (grrr!) but they say Iranian TV will be showing some games (it's better than TVP :) ). Go Poland :)

Oh, one more thing. I must be really a calamity :) Yesterday I fell down the stairs. These stairs are cunning bastards. Really nasty. I think they had been waiting for a chance to attack me since I came. And yesterday they were successful. I lost my ground and fell down. Banged my knee and right cheek bone :) But I'm ok. What does not kill you, makes you stronger! At least that's what people say :)

Infidels. Behold, thy friend is back in Iran...
take care...

p.s.
Ah, toilets. We have normal, european style toilets. Unfortunatelly they do not sing, massage or warm you bottom but are still much more friendly than the "Malysz type" iranian ones...This is good.
Got a good idea, since Adam had problems with his starting position maybe he could come to Iran and train a bit?
