An afternoon in the Saxon Garden






 

Okay, so first I think this is the very first time when I actually gonna publish my blog in the time period that I intended to! It’s probably not a big deal for you, but it kinda is for me!

So, let’s get on the blog shell we?

Yesterday was a pretty chilled day, with our weekly hike, and shopping done the day before yesterday we really could just chill and get ready for the next week.

Although I said we were chilling, we didn’t just sit at home, we went on a walk at the nearby park called Saxon Garden, which was a part of a fortification built in the 17th century. It was destroyed at the World War 2 – just as the whole city basically – and rebuilt later. One of the main things, that should be mentioned about the park is that it was opened for public in 1727 which means it is one of the first parks that were opened to the public! It is still very popular today many people come and see the place, it is always packed with tourists, retired folks, and people who are walking their dogs. The garden must be very pretty and calling thru the summer, but at fall… it takes the word gorgeous to a whole next level! The colorful leaves on the trees and the ground makes you feel like you are at the most beautiful forest, even though you are in the middle of the city!

I think it’s enough of me trying to find words to describe the place, I rather let the pictures do the talking!

The actual first day at the University of Warsaw

  Soo, I know I already wrote a blog with this title, but that day (the day before yesterday?) I only had an online class which does not qualify as a normal in-person class! It simply does not. My first class was an online class, at 4pm – which is always fun – after it was my second class that was at the university! What a relief to have a class where I can see other people, and the lecturer doesn’t have terrible audio! What was not that good about it is it was freaking hard! I wasn’t expecting a Polish language class to be easy but wow! It is the next level of randomly placed letters in a word. And the fact that the class starts at 6.30pm does not help us. It seems like usually we are allowed to miss two classes, which is less – by one – than we can in Pécs, but here at the language course we have two classes per week and also two opportunities to miss class which honesty sucks… I do want to learn a Slavic language to be able to communicate in the Balkan, or catch some word when my

Let's pretend this is day one(?)

  Today we just took the time to really concentrate on ourselves. In the morning we slept late, then I did my little yoga with Bohobeautiful, after that we started cooking lunch and dinner yada-yada-yada. We did participate in an online webinar about the library in Warsaw. To be completely honest I am not big of a fan of libraries. Not like I wouldn’t like to read, but somehow every time I went to the library back at home, I could tell based on people’s look that they knew I was studying sports and therefore I did not belong to a library. Of course, Sara was paying attention she studies at the faculty of Humanities, “her type’s” natural habitat is the library. While we were listening to the presentation, I had the time to think. And I realized a rather strange thing. Yesterday while we were talking with Ola, we were Americans ! I mean me and Sara… Okay, let me explain. So, every time I hear some English-speaking dude walking down the street talking on the phone or with someone, I

Last Day in Warsaw

  Our last day in Warsaw… When we got up the whole apartment was basically completely empty. Nothing was left, but a few backpacks, the food in the fridge, and the clothes we were about to put on. It was really sad. To start the morning exciting, and cheer ourselves up a bit we started our day in Costa Café or the Nero café — I honestly have no idea — where instead of coffee we drank chai latte. Sari did made me chai latte before, but since we don’t have either a printer nor the balls to print money we used cheep coffee and cheep chai thingy, which meant I was almost drinking something completely different. I absolutely loved the chai latte they gave me, so did Sari. Bummer, I wish I knew about this earlier. After our coffee break we packed everything and headed for the last shopping, we bought the little things that were absolutely needed for our successful trip home: bread, doughnuts, and the missing kinda beers. It was a successful trip. Then we drove home, prepared our meals for th
