As most of you guys know, I am a pretty lazy person, so I always need a little delay to update my page when something happens. If I could do something to help I would, but I think it is already too late now.

So I just wanted to show you some pictures of the WOMAD festival we went to last Saturday in Fort Canning Park, Singapore. I was delighted when I heard there would be such an event around. I really miss all the live music I could find last semester in Poznan.
Before entering the park, we went to do our shopping for picnic at the local Carrefour, got some French baguette, French camembert, French cider, and various other food and beverages.... So we managed to have a nice meal sitting on the grass, which I had not done in a long while.

An intersting fact about that evening is that is was wearing my "Polska" (meaning Poland in Polish), and 2 groups of Poles, one from Warsaw and one from Gdansk came to ask me if I was Polish. Both groups had brought some Polish with them, it was such a pleasure to taste Zywiec and Warka beers again. I was wondering if would ever meet any Poles during my stay here, now that's done!

The main artist of the festival was Jimmy Cliff from Jamaica (I suppose you all know I Can See Clearly, the song from Rasta Rocket), who perfomed really well. We also saw a concert of Chico Cesar, a Brazilian latino singer, also really good. There also was a band of drumers who invited people to join in the rythm, and after the Jimmy Cliff concert, one of the stages turned into an open air dance floor, so we stayed there dancing on reggae-latino-various music, until about 3 am and then went for some local food.
