My trip to Warsaw
Five years ago I and my friend Hanna were in Warsaw in Poland. Our goal was going to concert of Sigur Ros. Sigur Ros is Icelandic band who plays post-rock. And this band has music album which is recorded on non-existent language.
We got to Warsaw by several trains from Minsk. There was cheap to get with transplants but we were very tired after our road. We needed meet our host from Couchsurfing so that to leave our backpacks before concert. We had his phone number and an address. We tried to call but nobody answered. After an hour of unsuccessful calls we listened a bell (ring). We answered but it turn out that man on the other end of phone was not from Warsaw. He was from Krakow and he didn't know anything about us. But he was very friendly and he offered us to go to Krakow and to stay at him. We laughed and said goodbye. So we understood that we had a wrong phone number. We decided to go to concert with our backpacks. It isn't large and hard. Then we walked around the city a little bit. We found out that the next day there would be a concert of the American band CocoRosie. And of course we bought the tickets on this concert. Then we went to Sigur Ros concert. There was in the green park in the open air. The scene was in the form of an amphitheater. There was not large, was enough seats and a cozy atmosphere. There was sunset and a warm weather (summer). And Sigur Ros appeared on the scene in the rays of the setting sun. Music played, many lights on the stage flickered. There was so beautiful. Emotions overwhelmed me and I cried for joy. It was just on the first song, after I didn't cry.)
It was a magnificent performance. Great music, elaborate stage design, psychedelic video in the background. Everything was perfect. From this perfection all the fatigue was forgotten. But all good things come to an end. The concert ended and we needed find our host. We had the address and we went to there. Unfortunately, nobody opened the door for us. Then it rained. And since the hostels were busy until the morning, we walked a little in the rain night city. Then we went to the station where we had a terrible night (a complete disaster!) But that is another story.

My trip to Warsaw
Five years ago my friend Hanna and I were in Warsaw in Poland. Our goal was going to see a Sigur Ros concert. Sigur Ros is an Icelandic band who play post-rock. And this band has an album which is recorded in a non-existent language.*We got to Warsaw by several trains from Minsk. It was cheaper to transfer trains but we were very tired after our journey. We needed to meet our host from Couchsurfing so that we could leave our backpacks with him before the concert. We had his phone number and an address. We tried to call but nobody answered. After an hour of unsuccessful calls we listened a bell (ring). We answered but it turn out that man on the other end of phone was not from Warsaw. He was from Krakow and he didn't know anything about us. But he was very friendly and he offered us an alternative, that we could go to Krakow and to stay at him. We laughed and said goodbye.

Hi Nasta,
This is a great entry! And it sounds like you had a great time at the Sigur Ros concert, if not a good time at your CouchSurfing place. Let me know if you have any questions about the changes I've made.
Best,
Julie

We found out that next day was the American band CocoRosie concert. And, of course, we bought tickets. Then we went to the Sigur Ros concert. That was open air in the park. The set was in the form of an amphitheater. It was not large, and had enough seats and a cozy atmosphere. It was at sunset and in warm summer weather. And Sigur Ros appeared in the rays of the setting sun. Music played, lights on the stage flickered. It was so beautiful. Emotions overwhelmed me and I cried for joy.

It was a tour de force. Great music, elaborate stage design, psychedelic video in the background. Everything was perfect. In this perfection all fatigue was forgotten. But all good things come to an end. The concert ended and we needed to find our host. We had an address and we went there. Unfortunately, nobody opened the door for us. Then it rained. And since the hostels were busy until morning, we walked a little through the night in the rainy city. Then we went, soaked, to the station where we had a terrible night (a complete disaster!) But that is another story.
