At that time, Lodza isn’t some insignificant village any more. Throughout centuries it became a small town with it’s own trade market and a brand new name: Łódź.

To be true... Fuck all of that. I had some photos with those jewish, handsome guys’ monument. We laughed about it with my friend, now it’s just a great memory.
All I want to say is that Lodz is now different. It seems to be such a dirty city, but... it does have soul. I never had parties like this before, I feel alive in this dirty city. I has many opportunities - make use of them.
