All of the power points except one which was powering the huge 30m tall Christmas tree right in front of the shopping mall were locked. I was walking around it thinking if I should unplug it and there was a homeless guy who went up to me and said \u2018oh just unplug it, no one will notice\u2019. So I pulled out the plug and ALL of the lights on the tree suddenly just went off. So I just sat there in the dark and charged my phone. Then the security guard came up to me and was going to tell me off but I kept saying \u2018Prosze! Prosze!\u2019 which means please in polish. After a while he just laughed and left me alone to charge my phone. I\u2019d like to think he let me off because of his polish Christmas spirit!&#8221;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-5284 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.unsw.edu.au\/globaled\/files\/2015\/06\/boyy.jpg\" alt=\"boyy\" width=\"178\" height=\"158\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p class=\"Default\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12.0pt\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt\">To find out more about this exciting opportunity, check out what you could be doing this Winter at <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"https:\/\/internships.aiesec.org\/\"><span class=\"Hyperlink0\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt\">https:\/\/internships.aiesec.org\/<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Default\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12.0pt\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt\">Need help or want information?
