Hi!
Today, I'm going to describe the music event I took part in as I wrote yesterday.
The event last two days.
In the first day, I had difficulty entering the event since I looked apparently suspicious, but in the end I managed to enter.
It was the first time I had heard the music I listen to live so I was totally taken aback and happy.
The music was perfect and I still can hear it in my head.
My friends and I danced a lot and had fun.
There were quite a lot of people and food and drinks were very expensive, but I wasn't surprised at it.
We returned to the guest house next day in the morning to get some sleep.
In the other day, there were twice as many people as the day before.
I think it was over 30 000 people.
It was difficult to walk, much less dance.
However, I had also fun a lot.
We bumped into a friend who we had met on the train to the event, then another two friends.
One of them stayed with us until the event was over.
By the way, I didn't dance a lot since my feet ached terribly and were swollen.
As in the first day, we got "home" in the morning, totally exhausted.
But we couldn't go straight to bed.
One of my friend had to come back home so we saw him off and bought him the ticket.
We promised to do it, so we didn't want to disappoint him.
Then we finally got "home" to sleep.
We hadn't slept for twenty-six hours.
As I wrote yesterday, we were going to return home at the same time as my friend did, but my friend and I decided to stay another two days.
I borrowed money from the friend who had to come back, I paid him back yesterday by the way.
Although the event was over, there were many interesting things to do.
We visited a pier, took many photos, strolled along the shore in the evening, bought mementos, and just relaxed.
My friend almost got a fine for walking on the stakes that were coming from the sand and the sea.
They were located perpendicularly to the shore.
I don't know if you know what I mean and if they are around apart from Poland.
We learned that they are used to reduce waves.
If waves were too big, they would take the sand away.
The weather was fine almost all the time.
There were only two storms, but they swept through very quickly.
I think that's all. :)
Now it's time to write another twenty sentences using the words I learned today.
1. Then stick the pen to the sheet of paper.
2. My mother likes drinking milk through a straw.
3. Could you post the letter in my stead?
4. He fought tooth and nail for the abolition of capital punishment, but he failed.
5. She used to say grace every day.
6. First homesteaders started living in Poland thousand years ago.
7. The soldier hid in the dugout, waiting for news about the ceasefire.
8. Two young people were accused of stealing the coal from a freight car.
9. She lived in a tenement for seven years.
10. I was truly perplexed after hearing the answer to my question.
11. Do you like eating sausages?
12. He had to replace the silencer in his car.
13. Can you distinguish an alder tree from the other trees?
14. They bought new rims for their car.
15. Many men over forty suffer from prostatitis.
16. I hope I will never go through stomach ulcers.
17. Where did you buy such conspicuous wine glasses?
18. His index finger pointed at it.
19. I wonder in which countries isn't rude to show your middle finger to anyone.
20. She lost her right ring finger in an accident.
Cheers from Poland!

It was the first time I had heard the music I listen to live so I was totally taken back and happy.
We returned to the guest house the next day, in the morning, to get some sleep.
On the second day, there were twice as many people as the day before.
You were correct, but this is more common.
I think there was over 30 000 people.
However, I also had a lot of fun.
Just like the first day, we got "home" in the morning, totally exhausted.
Or: "Like the first day, we got "home" in the morning, totally exhausted."
Or: "Similar to the first day, we got "home" in the morning, totally exhausted."
"Like..." means "similar to...". Placing the word "just" in "just like..." means "very similar to..."
One of my friends had to go back home so we saw him off and bought him the ticket.
The term "to see him/her off" is not common, although it is correct.
We hadn't slept for twenty-six hours.
Wow
I don't know if you know what I mean and if they are around apart from Poland.
I've never heard of them, and I've even been to Europe (not Poland though).
He fought tooth and nail for the abolition of capital punishment, but he failed.
"fought tooth an nail" is an uncommon phrase , great job knowing that!
First homesteaders started living in Poland a thousand years ago.
She lived in a tenement for seven years.
I've never heard the word "tenement" and I have been speaking English my entire life. I had to look it up on google :P
He had to replace the silencer in his car.
"Silencer"? like a muffler? I'm not sure what a silencer is in a car.
Where did you buy such conspicuous wine glasses?
Where did you learn such a big words?
Today, I'm going to describe the music event I took part in as I wrote yesterday.
The event lasted two days.
In The first day, I had difficulty entering the event since I looked apparently looked "suspicious", but in the end I managed to enter.
The music was perfect, and I still can hear it in my head.
There were quite a lot of people and food and drinks were very expensive, but I wasn't surprised at by it.
We returned to the guest house the next day in the morning to get some sleep.
Or you could say:
"We returned to the guest house the following morning to get some sleep."
In the other day, The next day there were twice as many people as the day before.
I think it was there were over 30,000 people.
However (Be that as it may/Regardless/Despite that fact), I had also fun a lot (still had a lot of fun/had a lot of fun).
By the way, I didn't dance a lot since my feet ached terribly and were swollen.
As in the first On the morning we got home in the morning, we were totally exhausted.
One of my friends had to come go back to his home so we bought him the ticket and saw him off.
For the last part of the sentence, you need to list the events in the order they occurred.
You have to buy a train ticket before you can board, therefore, you bought him the ticket then saw him off.
We had promised to do it, so and we didn't want to disappoint him.
We finally got home to and could sleep.
I borrowed money from the friend who had to come back as well (I paid him back yesterday by the way).
My friend almost got a fine for walking on the stakes that were coming from the sand and the sea.
The second part of your sentence doesn't make sense to me so I'm not too quite sure how to correct it.
..."walking on the stakes that were sticking up in the sand"?
I don't know if you know what I mean and or if they are around found places apart from Poland.
I hope I will never go through (have/get/experience) stomach ulcers.
Where did you buy such conspicuous wine glasses?
This is an awkward way to use conspicuous. A better sentence would be:
"John placed his wallet in a rather conspicuous place."
In Standard American English conspicuous is used to refer to something as being "obvious" or "visible" rather than eye-catching.
I wonder in which countries it isn't rude to show your middle finger to anyone.

After learning a new word today, I would describe it as:
"...walking on the stakes that were stuck into the sand and the sea"
I will address each question or comment to my corrections in the order you posted them in.
Because you were continuing your post from the previous day you should then use parenthesis:
Today, I'm going to describe the music event I took part in (the one I wrote about yesterday).
For the at v.s. by sentence, it really depends upon context. For Standard American English "by" is the preferred word in a cause and reaction sentence. "At" is used more as a location referent. Though you are absolutely correct that they are interchangeable, quite a number of American's have horrid syntax and would be confused if you used "at" instead of "by".
For the "come back"/"go back" part, in Standard American English they are interchangeable when being used in a first person context. With the way you phrased your sentence, you could use either form and be grammatically correct.
Thanks for the picture! Those are called "offshore breakwater" in America, though ours are built differently. Knowing that now the correction would be:
My friend almost got a fine for walking on the offshore breakwater.
