Merry Christmas my Hive friends 馃槉馃巹猸愶笍 How are your holidays going? I hope this is a good time for you. Every year in Warsaw there are Christmas lights during the Christmas period, which are particularly interesting this year and I want to show it to you, take you for a walk together around downtown, where it is the most beautiful. Here you will find, among others: Santa Claus on a motorbike, old-school baubles the size of a person, a retro radio, an old scale, or an old TV, at which you can sit on a comfortable armchair and watch the evening show popular in Poland in the 1970s and 1980s - "Teddy Floppy Ear". Not bad, huh? 馃槈
Weso艂ych 艢wi膮t znajomi z Hive 馃槉馃巹猸愶笍 Jak wam mijaj膮 艣wi臋ta? Mam nadziej臋, 偶e to dla was dobry czas. W Warszawie co roku pojawia si臋 w okresie 艣wi膮tecznym iluminacja 艣wietlna, kt贸ra w tym roku jest wyj膮tkowo ciekawa i chc臋 j膮 wam pokaza膰, zabra膰 was na wsp贸lny spacer po 艢r贸dmie艣ciu, gdzie jest naj艂adniej. Znajdziecie tu m.in. Miko艂aja na motorynce, oldschoolowe bombki wielko艣ci cz艂owieka, retro radio, star膮 wag臋, czy stary telewizor, przy kt贸rym mo偶na usi膮艣膰 na wygodnym fotelu i obejrze膰 wieczorynk臋 "Misia Uszatka". Nie藕le, co? 馃槈
A huge, beautiful Christmas tree and a huge, colorful Warsaw sign appeared in front of the Royal Castle. There is also a Christmas fair right next to it.
Przed Zamkiem Kr贸lewskim pojawi艂a si臋 ogromna, 艣liczna choinka oraz ogromny, kolorowy napis Warszawa. Tu偶 obok odbywa si臋 te偶 艣wi膮teczny jarmark.
Not far away you can pass by huge Christmas tree lights that were once popular in Poland. I remember I had one of these once. They were attached to the Christmas tree with something resembling clothespins. And if you want, you can take a photo inside a huge retro bauble. Such attractions provide many opportunities to take cool photos 馃槑
Niedaleko dalej mo偶na przej艣膰 obok ogromnych 艣wiate艂ek na choink臋, kt贸re kiedy艣 by艂y popularne w Polsce. Pami臋tam, 偶e mia艂am kiedy艣 takie. Przyczepia艂o si臋 je do choinki za pomoc膮 takich jakby spinaczy. A jak kto艣 chce, mo偶e sobie zrobi膰 zdj臋cie w ogromnej retro bombce. Takie atrakcje dostarczaj膮 du偶o mo偶liwo艣ci na zrobienie sobie fajnych zdj臋膰 馃槑
Another cool Christmas lights I saw were old-style baubles. It was like returning to the land of childhood. They looked like colorful, cute characters. I really liked them on the Christmas tree.
Ta iluminacja jest jak powr贸t do krainy dzieci艅stwa. Kolejn膮 fajn膮 iluminacj膮, kt贸r膮 zobaczy艂am by艂y jakby bombki w starym stylu. Wygl膮da艂y jak kolorowe, s艂odkie postacie. Bardzo je lubi艂am na choince.
Nowy 艢wiat Street is decorated as every year. Very elegant, gold. It looks nice, but since I see it every year, I was more impressed by the luminous old style Christmas decorations.
Ulica Nowy 艢wiat jest przystrojona jak co roku. Bardzo elegancko, na z艂oto. 艁adnie to wygl膮da, ale poniewa偶 widz臋 to co roku, to wi臋ksze wra偶enie zrobi艂y na mnie 艣wietliste ozdoby w stylu PRLu.
You could put letters to Santa Claus into this impressive red box 馃槈
Do tej okaza艂ej, czerwonej skrzynki mo偶na by艂o wrzuci膰 listy do 艢wi臋tego Miko艂aja 馃槈
Here you could watch an evening show about the Teddy Floppy Ear. In what looked like an old TV set. I saw a father and son watching it. A cool, atmospheric idea to create such an attraction.
A u mo偶na by艂o obejrze膰 wieczorynk臋 o misiu Uszatku. W takim jakby starym telewizorze. Widzia艂am jak ogl膮dali j膮 sobie ojciec z synem. Fajny, klimatyczny pomys艂, 偶eby zrobi膰 tak膮 atrakcj臋.
I also liked the idea of that scale and the sense of humor of the people who created these Christmas lights. By standing on it, you could check your level of saturation with tangerines 馃槈 I feel that walking through the city streets and interacting with these Christmas lights, apart from taking funny photos, can improve your mood and have a little laugh.
Spodoba艂 mi si臋 te偶 pomys艂 z wag膮 i poczucie humoru, os贸b, kt贸re stworzy艂y t膮 iluminacj臋. Staj膮c na niej mo偶na by艂o sprawdzi膰 sw贸j poziom nasycenia mandarynkami 馃槈 Mam poczucie, 偶e id膮c ulicami miasta i bior膮c udzia艂 w interakcjach z tymi iluminacjami mo偶na opr贸cz zabawnych fot, fajnie sobie poprawi膰 nastr贸j, troch臋 si臋 po艣mia膰.
There was also an old telephone with a handset. At one point, a small child approached him and started dialing a number. The child's father was surprised by this and asked how his son knew how to use such a phone 馃槈 I haven't used such a phone for a long time, but I remember the times when there were no cell phones and I had a similar phone at home.
Nie zabrak艂o te偶 starego telefonu ze s艂uchawk膮. W pewnym momencie podesz艂o do niego ma艂e dziecko, zacz臋艂o wykr臋ca膰 numer. Tata dziecka by艂 tym zaskoczony i zapyta艂 sk膮d synek wie jak obs艂ugiwa膰 taki telefon 馃槈 Ja sama ju偶 dawno nie korzysta艂am z takiego telefonu, ale pami臋tam czasy, gdy nie by艂o kom贸rek i mia艂am podobny telefon w domu.
There were also a few old cars decorated with lights. You could go inside and many people took advantage of the opportunity to take photos in such a vehicle. I read in the newspaper today that a man, I don't know if he was inspired by the Warsaw Christmas lights or if he came up with this idea himself. He decorated his car with Christmas lights from the outside and... got a ticket for i.
By艂o te偶 kilka starych samochod贸w przyozdobionych lampkami. Mo偶na by艂 wej艣膰 do 艣rodka i wiele os贸b korzysta艂o z mo偶liwo艣ci, 偶eby zrobi膰 sobie zdj臋cie w takim poje藕dzie. Czyta艂am dzisiaj w gazecie, 偶e jaki艣 cz艂owiek, nie wiem, czy zainspirowany t膮 warszawsk膮 艣wi膮teczn膮 iluminacj膮, czy samodzielnie to wymy艣li艂, w ka偶dym razie przyozdobi艂 sobie choinkowymi 艣wiate艂kami sw贸j samoch贸d, od zewn膮trz i... dosta艂 za to mandat.
This is an old-fashioned toy - a colorful spinning top in the XXL version.
A to zabawka - kolorowy b膮k w wersji XXL.
And a sweet old stuffed animal - a teddy bear.
I s艂odki stary pluszak - misiek.
There were slightly different Christmas lights closer to the Centrum metro station. That you could walk through. The diversity is nice. That these are not Christmas decorations stuck somewhere high, on some pole, but you can interact with these decorations and walk through them. Great idea. Which of the Christmas lights I showed in my post did you like the most? 馃槉
Bli偶ej stacji metra Centrum znajdowa艂y si臋 troch臋 inne iluminacje, przez kt贸re mo偶na by艂o przechodzi膰. Fajna jest ta r贸偶norodno艣膰. 呕e nie s膮 to jakie艣 ozdoby 艣wi膮teczne przyczepione gdzie艣 wysoko, na jaki艣 s艂upie, ale mo偶na wchodzi膰 w interakcj臋 z tymi ozdobami, przechodzi膰 przez nie. Super pomys艂. A kt贸ra z tych iluminacji 艣wi膮tecznych, kt贸re pokaza艂am w moim po艣cie najbardziej wam si臋 spodoba艂a? 馃槉
