Back where I belong :)
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?

St. Barbara's day

Long Live the MINERS!!!!!
To all the miners. I guess I could call myself one but this would be a exaggeration...A really big one :) So it's to all the people that really worked their assess of in Iran (now I'd be in this group :) ). Shame not everyone appreciates that....
Górniczy stan, heoj, niech nam żyje! Niech żyje nam górniczy stan!
Bo choć przed nami światło dzienne kryje, toć dla Ojczyzny trud ten jest nam dan.
Boć synowi podziemnych czarnych światów każdy chętnie poda swą dłoń.
Niech żyje nam, niech żyje nam górniczy stan! Niech żyje nam górniczy stan!
Czy nie słyszysz dzwonka z naszej wieży i kilofa, który wzywa nas?
Hej, do szybu niech z nas każdy bieży! „Szczęść nam Boże!” zaśpiewajmy wraz!
Boć synowi podziemnych czarnych światów każdy chętnie poda swą dłoń.
Niech żyje nam, niech żyje nam górniczy stan! Niech żyje nam górniczy stan!
Gdy nareszcze góry się zachwieją i wnijdziem, bracia, do światłości bram,
staniem wszyscy z tą błogą nadzieją, że złota miłość więzi serca nam.
Boć synowi podziemnych czarnych światów każdy chętnie poda swą dłoń.
Niech żyje nam, niech żyje nam górniczy stan! Niech żyje nam górniczy stan!

Da Godfather....

So I became a godfather. Don Ufok...Capo di tutti capi... :)
The pictures below show my goddaughter. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, BARCA (with an 's')!!!
She's my friend's 7-week-old cane corso.

Sweet, intelligent, beautiful (ok, i've found a dog, how about a girlfriend? :) ).
You can play with me now, but i'll be 45kg heavy someday!
It wasn't me....
Have you seen my food???Apart from that not much has changed. I am still sending CVs and waiting for some reply. Come on you people, I would be a great asset to any company.... :)

Gooooodbyee Iran!!
First of all i'd like to say hi to my new fans in Katowice :) The saying "No matter what they say about you, as long as they speak about you" is very up to date :)
My contract ended yesterday. I've been in Poland since Friday.
The trip itself was ok. 12 hours on the bus to tehran reminded of school trips :) then a short wait at the airport, flight to frankfurt (scotch & soda bitte), then a wait at the frankfurt airport (tequilla,arriba arriba!!! - though at 8 Euro a shot it was not the best deal in our lives), then a flight to Katowice (Poland welcomes with a sandwich) and eventually a 5 hour train trip to Poznan (had to stand in the corridor until Wroclaw!!). So after merely 40 hours I was home. Woohoo. And...
I have this strange feeling. It's like I miss Iran a bit (oh my god, call a doctor, he went bananas!!). I guess after 6 months of living in one place you get used to it. To the people, the work, the place itself, the jackals performing concertos every night.
But this is Poland. I am happy to be here. But then again. I am in a bit of a standstill (just like the belts underground :) ). Don't really know what to do. I am waiting for some things to be finalized and then I'll start changing my life :) Or at least I'll try and organise it. We'll see. Meanwhile, i am cherrishing Poland, the winter (ok, I am not, It is way to cold), polish people. Waiting for christmas, new year's and then...a new something :)
Take care all of you.
For those who managed to spend some time in Iran with me and for those reading that pile of bollocks - a big thanks.
Photos to be added soon.
Take care...

Employee of the month...
Is it really about me? :)Though he made a slight mistake writing that I've been in Iran since March. Hm.. Maybe it was about someone else? :)
Take care you all.Soon I'll post a photo reportage :) from an Iranian wedding I went to a week ago.
P.S.
Yesterday we were all wondering if Mama Kaczynska had spanked Lech for signing Jarek's resignation :)

Ch,Ch,Ch,Changes...
1st)So I had my hair cut. I have to explain myself. My friend was the hairdresser. And, well...One can see he is not a pro... :)
This is the shortest hair I have ever had,i think...And it was a challenge. To have short hair with the head being so big (though full of brains) :) Of course it has all been recorded for the sake of humanity (don't do this at home). Anyway, it's almost a week since I did it and they are starting to grow back.
Oh, by the way. I am really getting bold :) But than again, bold men are supposedly great lovers :p
So now. Ladies and gentlemen. Get ready for the de-hairing of Lukasz Wlodarczyk. Hope the Samson syndrone does not get me :)
I really had a tough day at work. Really!
It's the flash of the camera. Had to close my eyes. By the way. Wouldn't I make a great punk?
Prisoner no. 45632Lw. Sentence-6 months in Iran. :)
See I am blushing. New haircut, big ears, had to blush :) And the stain on me t-shirt is not a stain. It's water...
So this is how I look now. I guess now I can be mourning. The second news is that I am staying in Iran till the 25th of November. The mine, the maingate to be more exact, was flooded on Monday. Really flooded. I think the geologist missed a lake when taking measurements. and whoops. there it was.loads of water coming from the sdidewall. all the motors flooded, electricians trying to save sensitive equipment. Face Rescue Operation is on. a great example of one of Murphy's laws. "if anything can get worse, it is sure to fuck up".and it did :) but it could have been worse. the face could've been totally fucked.but it isn't.anyway.two additional weeks is not that bad. i'll manage.
One of the mottos. Though the real version should be:"Food+rest=end of shift"
The mosque in Tabas.
Same mosque.Good, old me. Trying to spoil every picture. :)
Inside the mosque. A tomb of Imam Kazeem. We shouldn't be taking pictures in there.

My artistic soul made me take that picture :)
Enough :) khoda hafez. peace out.
