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!




Location: Saxon Garden, Marszałkowska, 00-102 Warszawa, Poland

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 whe...

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...

Start of Our Evacuation

  So, yesterday was Sari’s last exam, which means the studying part of our Erasmus has came to an end, unfortunately not only the studying part is over, the whole Erasmus program is about to end! We even started packing yesterday… Sari’s exam was at noon, which is possibly the worst time to write a test, because you can’t even eat before the test which means your brain doesn’t necessarily have enough sugar to work. We were hungry and had no motivation to cook, and we were planning to go to IKEA anyways, so we decided to beat the traffic instead and have some good old IKEA vegetarian hotdogs. It was totally worth, we payed 14 zlotyi for a two meals. That simply doesn’t happen anywhere else. Then we walked around in IKEA God and Sari only knows what we were looking for, but we only found something I wanted for a long time. A doormat with ‘Dzien dobry’ sign on it.  mint isn’t it? When we got out of the store I hoped we were out of the woods, but then it turned out we still have t...
