When I was in Izrael one evening I had a feeling that residents of Tel Aviv are more grateful for life than for example Polish people. I was really glad when I saw a couple sitting in front of their house in the small alley in the city centre. It is a rare view in Warsaw even that Tel Aviv is a really big, busy city. In Warsaw a lot of people are in hurry, are stressed and unhappy. I have no idea why it happens. On my trip a saw a group of random people dancing together to their national music (I'm not sure what music it was, but everyone knows that music) and singing. I was shocked because there was some people who just gone for evening jogging or walk with their partners and sttoped for a while to dance with others. Everybody was happy and having fun even very old people. I was standing and watching and i couldn't stop because of their happines. I really want to see something like that in Warsaw, but I think people there are not that integrated and open for others. I think that nowadays people are thinking too much about themselves, sometimes can talk about their lives for very long time and don't even ask their interlocutor. Also there is obligatory army service which every person mustn attend to. Maybe it could be a reason why they a little bit different than us.
Life Electric
Life Electric is a monument created by Studio Libeskind in collaboration with the business association of Como. Its a 16,5 meter high sculpture on the Lake Como in Italy. This is a public monument, homeage to famed scientist Aleksander Volta who hails from the city. He was born on 18th February, 1745, in Como, and died 5th March, 1827, Como. He was an Italian physicist, chemist and a pioneer of electricity and power. He invented a electrical battery and discovered methane. It’s made from stainless steel, polished to a mirror to reflect landscape around this is why this sculpture combines the natural elements of light, water. Shape of this monument is very interesting and resembles two waves. The form reaches both up towards the sky and goes down to the water, representing the two poles of energy. “It is an amazing honor to be able to give this work a home in one of the most beautiful places in the world—and a place very close to my heart,” said Daniel Libeskind.
I think that also a culture have real affect on them. We are trying to copy western culture where life is usually focused on work and that's why we are different from them.
