This picture shows the window beside my living room. As you can see, the window opens normally, as we would expect.
If you twist the handle so that it points up, look what happens:
It opens up vertically! WOW!I know, thats lame. But it solved a big problem - how to let the cigarette smoke out without turning my apartment into a freezer. Now all my windows are opened like this. I didn't do this to my bathroom windows though - I prefer my toilet seats warm, not ice cold.

yes, i love those windows in europe!!
yeah, those kinds of windows are cool. some of the windows in the the place i stayed in were like that. i suppose they are also double-paned? those really shut out the noise from outside. i wish those kinds of windows were standard here...
sarap sa europe. smoker friendly. pero in 2008, they're going to ban smoking in paris. even in cafés. :(
Yeah these windows are cool. My officemate was telling me that there is actually a third way of opening them - couldn't figure it out yet though. But he says its useful when snow comes and you need to let smoke out.
Hey Jay,
Warsaw is actually a very very smoker friendly city - there are very few places where you can't smoke. In the office, you can even smoke in some of the meeting rooms - ayos!
