Depeche Mode in Warsaw, "welcome to Poland"!


We went by the SuperCityTrain from Prague to the polish border .
The train had free wifi and we got free softdrinks.
Yes, the german trainservice can learn a lot from the Czechs!
We changed the train at the border and needed 4 hours until Warsaw.
Warsaw is a well organized and clean city.
If you ever go there: buy a 3 day ticket for 30 zlotys, so you can jump in every tram or bus you want.
Very simple!!
We got an apartment in Warsaw, but it wasn't comfortable.
And for a little bit more money you can get a luxury hotel.
I had the luck, another friend of mine was in Warsaw so I got the chance to check into his wonderful hotel" Polonia Palace"!
We ate in a pub and had a strange meal:
We ordered a plate of beatroot with horseradish and got a plate of polish sausages, uah.
Later we found a nice corner with lots of pubs and bars, where stylish young people drank their beer.
So we drank some beer, too. Zywiec is my favourite one!!
Next morning we met us in an very funny cafe, was a mix of kindergarden and cafe, so we sat between lots of small children which sang nursery rhymes and had breakfast!!

Then we visited a museum about the German occupation in Warsaw.
Very hard exhibition, but a piece of my history as a German.
We saw many polish Depeche Mode fans in the museum.

Later in the whole city we saw masses of fans. They wore selfmade DM T-Shirts. Great.

Like every time: lunch, chilling in the hotel, styling. Than we went to the new football stadium of Warsaw.
Amazing architecture.

The polish fans welcomed Depeche Mode with posters with the imprint:
"Welcome to Poland"!
Very good concert!
The polish fans are big Martin Gore fans, he got huge applause for his songs .

As Dave came back after Martins songs he stood a while on stage and did nothing.
He got an amazing applause, looked like a bit celebrating himself.
But I liked it because Martin Gore or Andy Fletcher never say " Mr.Dave Gahan" like Dave doing it everytime for them.

One of the best songs was " Policy of truth"!
The new songs didn't find big echo.
But Dave was in a good mood, sang a wonderful " Halo" and celebrated a wild " I feel you"!!
"Just can't get eunough", we got it in an long version, because danced a long time on the catwalk so Andy was forced to play a 12inch version of his solopart!

After the concert we had to walk back into our hotel over the Vistulabridge.
Under the bridge was an aftershow party, but we was so tired and went to bed.

Next morning we found an 24 opened cafe with great breakfast and typical polish menue.
Delicious.

And then, the times ran so fast, we had to leave Warsaw and had to fly to Wilna, our last concert of the Depeche Mode summerleg!

But, big shock, at the airport they couldn't find us on the boarding list.
After nearly two hours they found us and we catched the flight barely.Ups!!!
