Last Saturday we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Polish Praying Mantis Kung Fu Society. Many people came, including our brothers and sisters from Finland. We spent hours talking to each other and having fun. Shifu Slawomir Milczarek received a gift from his polish students — a brand new notebook computer. Looks like he didn’t expect it. The times when he was saying “It will not run on my computer” are over

The evening was great although people were scattered throughout many tables and three rooms instead of being all in one place like a community should do. Free beer and snacks ended very quickly and people were forced to buy drinks which were quite expensive for polish conditions. On the other hand we listened to a concert of the Pavulon Twist group which gathered all the people closer to the scene.

The time flies, 20 years passed, 16 of which I was fortunate to be part of. Happy birthday PPMKFS!
