Hello everyone !
First of all, let me thank dev.patra for inviting me to BIF.
Intro:
My name is Lesław Piwowarski. I prefer to be called Leszek what is more popular in Poland. „sz” in polish sounds like English „sh” but polish language is generally much harder.
I have six year old son Staś and wife Gosia.

My way to SAP
Shortly after completing secondary school I bought my first computer (as far as I remember it was an IBM XT640 – imagine a computer without any HD inside J ). I started to get to know the computer technology. Computer programming became my great passion which is until now.
My journey with SAP started four years ago when the firm I’m working for adopted it as the main database system. Until now I work as a BW administrator.
Where I live
All my life I’ve been living in the city Sosnowiec in Silesia province in southern Poland. Silesia used to be known as the heavy industry region. In most cities coal mines could be found. Coal mining was very important for the country and coal miners were very proud of who they are. Society of miners was well organized. They had their own tradition, festivals. Polish miner’s traditional uniforms are well known in Poland.

Now the heavy industry in Silesia is being closed for economic reasons.
Jura
Not far away from the place where I live there’s JURA - region covered with forests with a number of limestone rocks hidden among the trees.

My hobby
Long time ago I was „poisoned” :wink: with rock climbing and until now whenever I can I climb in Jura or do another forms climbing.
Pict. 4 - coming down ... just a minute !.
Jura is also famous for great castles that had at a time been built there.

Shortly after I started to climb in Jura I interested in climbing in high mountains. The Tatra mountains on the southern border with Slovakia were my first real mountains to climb.

Then I climbed in some mountains in The Italian Alps.
Pict. 7 - Me, long time ago shortly before an ascent on Cervina / Matterhorn.
My son is also fond of climbing. I showed him how to climb when he was 4 years old.

My another great passion is making photographs. Each year thousands of new pictures and short movies find its way on my computer HD. My favourite are some pictures of my son.
