the real reason for the trip to Poland

While we were still in Berlin, N and I joked that the real reason that we were going to Poland was to see Johnny's newest film. (N's Johnny Depp obsession is equal to my own.) The film will not be out in Serbia for another month (oh the injustice!). Through a series of complications, N was not able to see it in Northern Ireland, where she lives. And Poland, unlike Germany, is not a place that dubs its films.

Two nights ago, we fulfilled our mission. We walked to the theater in a big shiny American-style mall, to check on show times and arrived 5 minutes before a showing. The theater was directed pirate-ishly.

And the film, though not amazing, was really satisfying.

The next morning, we got up early to visit Aushwitz. Somehow, these contractions feel okay.
