Pressing Catch in the Metro

Last night (sober), as I sat down in the metro on my way back home, I noticed something unusual.
A big, chubby man with long curly hair and a constant laughter was wrestling his (I guess) daughter inside the wagon. The girl was quite similar to him physically.

They were marking every single move like they were fighting in a ring and they even shouted like it was real.

Before one of the stops, the father took his daughter's head and started smashing it against the driver's door (playing, of course), and shouting: baaam! baaam! baaam! with every hit, which made the driver come out and start shouting at them, thinking it was a real fight.

They started laughing and fighting again as soon as the driver came back to his place.

Solid Snake in Tram 26

Months ago I had the pleasure of seeing Bill in the bus 175, next to me. Then I knew the zombie apocalypse was near (it's always near, like The Rapture but without an actual rapture).

But then I saw... Solid Snake! For those of you who won't click on the link on his name, he's the main character in the videogame series Metal Gear.

And he's real!

Pero, ¿qué coño?

There's one tree in Nowy Świat

It may sound stupid and it probably is (like most of the things I write about), but it felt like such a discovery as I was walking from Nowy Świat to Krakowskie Przedmieście.

I was surprised because I pass by that tree everyday once or twice, I've even been to the bar next to it a few times and I never saw it! And that makes me wonder how many things we don't notice as we walk by. What else is there that I didn't see?

And it's not even a beautiful tree...

It's funny how some people call me Captain Obvious sometimes, but there are many cases in which things are so obvious that we don't even realise.
