Here are a few pictures of my trip to kick boxing practice. The top picture is a view of concrete soccer field that are all over Warsaw. I tried to take a photo of the local kids. As I got there they were hanging out competing in how far they can throw a stick you can see one of them carrying. The school (facing the field) has two flags of the National Teachers Union (on strike). Inside you can see a mini basketball/volleyball/soccer field. The place is really small and smells of dust, sweat and solvent. On the walls you can see ladders used for everything from hanging pull up bars and punching bags, to situps, pushups and a number of communist era exercises. These ladders are virtually in every elementary school in Poland. In this somewhat meagre conditions you can see some members of the Polish national kick boxing team going to world cups in Italy next week. Finally, on my way home I thought I'd take a picture of the tram. Oddly, they remind me of school buses from the 50's you can still see in California. They are very oval in every way on the outside and very rail car diner on the inside (minus the chrome). To give Warsaw justice I should add that today I took a very modern tram, which didn't feel like it fell off the rails.
