It's the same everywhere, you don't have to choose a specific city. There will probobly be some photos after the event. But it's really not much compared to Thailand. And it's getting worse every year as the police don't seem to apriciate the tradition. There is always some good footage on that day in Polish TV. Many channels can be viewed europewide or worldwide. The best ones would be TVN (main news at 7PM CET), TVP 1 (main news at 7.30PM CET), TVP 2 (main news at 10PM CET) and Polsat (I have no idea when they have there main news). Sometimes Euronews shows a bit of it too. Though the TV material tends to concentrate on obscure folk traditions and so called incidents (with police involved) there is some good footage each year.

Anyway, we hadn't had much luck with the weather lately and this is probobly going to be no exception. It's a late easter and the temperatures are like in early march. It's really hard to believe that last year in the second half of april we had 25C, with a mere 8C at the moment. The forecast for monday looks more promising, but not good enough for some real good wetlook opportunities.

So, concluding. If you want to see Polish wetlook, you'de be better of with going to the beaches of Gdynia and Gdansk or the fountains of Warsaw in the summer, or at least in a summer like that of 2005 (30-32C for THREE MONTHS!) and not for wet monday.

Easter Monday

As you know, upcoming monday happens to be Easter Monday.

In many countries in eastern europe that day is also called 'wet monday', since girls get soaked.

Especially Poland (Smigus Dyngus) seems to be worth for a ride.

Does anyone know where to go?

Is there ans polish 'Chiang Mai'?

Are there any picture sites on the net?
