So I am here 3 days, here is summary of these 3 days:
- There are shop that sells electricity, I thought about buying a bucket of this, but I didn't have time to go into that shop. Exact sign was "Here we sell electricity"
- They drink decaff coffee in observatory. That's just weird.
- I asked a driver (transport from Cape Town to Sutherland) what should I do with my room key, since I am leaving. He said, very surprised: "WHO are you?!".
- I talked to another astronomer, just usual blablabla, what he's observing, how is the weather, he asked where am I from. I said "I'm from Poland" of course, and he replied "A ja jestem z Poznania". (for english-only speaking readers - it means that he was from Poland too).
- In a pub in Sutherland they know polish people, especially one lady.
- A bartender in Cape Town didn't believe me that it's possible to drink a shot of vodka (and only vodka), he heard of it but couldn't believe me. Then he gave me 3 shots to teach him.
The best bartender in the world! (the left one):
- Now I start to think I am coursed - a year ago, when I was here to observe during two weeks we had maybe 6 'good' nights. It's raining for two days now, and forecast says that it will be raining until Friday...
The picture is made toward the plateau, where is SALT and other domes. Not visible now...

Clear skies.
So they have vodka, and don't know what to do with it?
Michael - don't drink too much. Remember that you're driving a car there.
WHO WROTE THAT?? ;p
I'm (almost) not drinking in here ;)
They have vodka, sometimes polish, mostly for making drinks, not shots.
