Welcome to the city of rain, sex and powers as laid down by the Lisbon Treaty.
Enjoy the singing metro, six weeks of summer, the streets full of trash and, sometimes, confetti, which sticks to your soles and gets into your house and even Danuta, the cleaning lady, knows how to get rid of it (I don't mind).

Listen to the rain drops as they hit the window.
