PART 1 ... The Beginning ...

Everything started in Wrocław on the 26th of September, one of the biggest city in Poland. The mixture of many different religions and cultures, while troublesome at times, has contributed a lot to the city. Wrocław lies in the middle of the Silesian Lowland, where the Oder River branches out to form 12 islands. The city is spanned by more than 100 bridges. Seen from the deck of a tour boat, Wrocław looks like a city on the water.

In 2016, the city is a European Capital of Culture and the World Book Capital. Also, Wrocław will host the Theatre Olympics, World Bridge Games and the European Film Awards in 2016, IFLA Annual Conference and World Games in 2017.




Next Step was China and Shanghai ...

PART 2 ... Long trip ...

It took one month but t-shirt finally reached first destination - SHANGHAI...
... also known as Hu, is the largest and most prosperous city in China. Shanghai is situated in the Yangtze River delta next to the East China Sea. As one of the largest cities in Asia, Shanghai has rich cultural relics. You can not only experience a modern trip including the Bund, Xintiandi, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and World Financial Center, but also explore an old and ancient journey by visiting the Yuyuan Garden, Jade Buddha Temple and Zhujiajiao Ancient Town. Nearby Suzhou and Hangzhou, you can easily visit some ancient water towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces from Shanghai.

PART 4 ... back to Europe ...

According google maps distance counter our t-shirt reaching Turkish city of Van travelled already 16114,20 km ...

... City Van is in the east of Turkey. Actually the most eastern city. It has its own wonderful landscape with the largest lake of Turkey. A big waterfall, some historical churches - one of which is on an island at the middle of the lake, a few big castles which hosted ancient civilisations and old-timer mosques: a multi cultural and functional city. Moreover a particular cat which has different eye colours and a particular kind of fish that can only live in Lake Van.



The one who was waiting for anniversary t-shirt was Yunus, known in MZ as senatorkobra. As you can see on photos below he took t-shirt for trip around city, later on took short model session, signed it and sent to el señor ...

PART 5 ... stop in Madrid

Madrid lies on the River Manzanares in the centre of both the country and the Community of Madrid. As the capital city of Spain, seat of government, and residence of the Spanish monarch, Madrid is also the political, economic and cultural centre of Spain.

While Madrid possesses modern infrastructure, it has preserved the look and feel of many of its historic neighbourhoods and streets. Its landmarks include the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Royal Theatre with Opera House, the Buen Retiro Park, the 19th-century National Library building, a large number of national museums and the Golden Triangle of Art, located along the Paseo del Prado and comprising three art museums: Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía Museum, a museum of modern art, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. Cibeles Palace and Fountain have become one of the monument symbols of the city



el señor Mike aka mikelony, our Head Master Assistant, had a honor to host our t-shirt during stay in Spain. His mission was not only to sign the t-shirt, but prepare it for long trip, over the Ocean, to South America to the Argentina, where our t-shirt has plan to learn the Tango...

PART 6 ... BUENOS AIRES ...

... The birthplace of the tango, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife. The city of Buenos Aires is located at the northeastern edge of the flat plain known as the Pampas, which occupies the agricultural heartland of Argentina. It is situated at the point where the Paraná River delta widens to become the Río de la Plata estuary. The eastern and northern limits of the metropolitan area are defined by the Río de la Plata, and the city’s most prominent physical characteristics are the numerous small rivers that flow through its periphery.

In this scenery our t-shirt decided to stay during last few weeks. Well know lady C took care over t-shirt and as it can be seen on pictures below it was very active time :)

Phoenix is the core of Maricopa County and the state’s population and economic center. Phoenix spans more than 500 square miles and ranks as the sixth-largest city in the United States. Phoenix is a premier destination offering the best of both worlds: a growing economy and a great place to live with more than 300 sun-filled days a year and an almost limitless supply of outdoor activities in the beautiful Sonoran Desert. Home to more than 1.4 million residents ...

PART 8 ... AMBAZAC ...

... a little town located in the middle of France, near the city of Limoges in the region called Limousin. It is a lovely place to stay, offering beautiful landscapes, perfect to have a walk.

PART 9 ... ROME ...

Rome's history spans more than 2,500 years. While Roman mythology dates the founding of Rome at around 753 BC, the site has been inhabited for much longer, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe. Rome has the status of a global city ranked in 2016 as the 13th-most-visited city in the world, 3rd most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist attraction in Italy. Its historic centre is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Monuments and museums such as the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum are among the world's most visited tourist destinations with both locations receiving millions of tourists a year ...

... our t-shirt, thanks to Aless, visited some of well know places in Rome ... starting from Colloseum and later Via dei Fori Imperiali, Massenzio Basilica, Roman forum and finally resting by the sea in Sabaudia.

PART 12 ... KRAKÓW ...

... is the second largest and one of the oldest cities in Poland. Situated on the Vistula River in the Lesser Poland region, the city dates back to the 7th century. Kraków has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Polish academic, cultural, and artistic life and is one of Poland's most important economic hubs. It was the capital of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland from 1038 to 1569. Developed over many centuries, Kraków provides a showcase setting for many historic styles of architecture. As the city expanded, so too did the architectural achievements of its builders. It is for this reason that the variations in style and urban planning are so easily recognisable ...



Kraków is the city with many polish managers playing MZ including finekk who took care over the t-shirt in last few days, showing few unique places in old town of Kraków...

Thanks for your hospitality Łukasz ...

PART 14 ... MECHELEN ...

... I took the t-shirt out for a walk in Mechelen, my home town, which is located in the middle between Brussels and Antwerp and holds approximately 80000 habitants.

The first photograph shows the income of the 'Vrijbroekpark' which is almost right next to my house. The rose garden in the park has already won several prices for it's beauty.

Afterwards I aimed for Mechelen city and took a photograph of the 'Dijle', the river that runs through Mechelen. The bridge where I made this photograph is located right next to my old school. Some Chinese tourists might have taken a picture of the t-shirt too btw, because they thought I was preparing some kind of event by hanging the shirt on the bridge xD

I then went to the absolute city center and there I made a photograph of the t-shirt in front of the Sint-Rombouts Cathedral. This is shown in the back and next to it is the Sint-Rombouts Tower, which is our main touristical attraction. The tower was supposed to be higher, but as the stones to complete the tower were stolen, it was never fully build :-)

In the front in the last picture you see our city mascotte, Opsignoorke, which is a kid that is thrown in the air by four men holding a bed sheet.

After this tour through the city centre I went back home, placed my autograph on the shirt and took a picture of myself wearing the shirt with my two dogs (Puk (black labradoodle) and Mocca (brown Border Collie)) sitting besides me :-)

That's my story with the shirt, I carried it completely through Mechelen and I'm sure it really enjoyed being out again after a long travel from Poland! :-) ...




Thanks a lot Dieter!
