Visitors Pt.1

 

Yesterday Sari’s parents arrived!

First task was to work out how the airport’s system works, especially the airport’s parking system! There were basically two options of picking them up; a) stop at the A1 parking lot and pay 15zloty fee for an hour, or choose the ‘kiss and go’ option, where we had only 7min to leave the area, without being charged something like 30zloty.
Although we love playing safe and sound, this time we were ballsy, and went to the kiss and go. Not like just driving there, but we stopped somewhere 5min far from the airport, and waited till her parents got to the ‘departure’ or ‘kiss and go’ spot and then we continued our commute there.

We got to the place, waited a few minutes when a policeman started coming toward us. I put my hand on the steering wheel, waiting him to stop at the window, but then he saw the Hungarian license plate and turned his back on us and checked someone else in a Polish car.

After, getting back to our home we headed downtown, stopped at the restaurant where we ate with Sári some weeks ago. That place is still amazing – to learn the place’s name you gotta check the previous blogs 😉 !

 

After having lunch, me and the boys from Sári’s family headed to the historic downtown, walked around for a few hours; we walked 14km!

The sightseeing had to stop around 6pm hence Sári’s dad and brother had a ticket for the Jazz Jamboree, so I reunited with Sári and her mom for a quick shopping and got back home; where we had to find out how we gonna sleep. 5 people in a 2-person studio apartment is a huge challenge! We kinda sorted out and it will work for this week!

Tomorrow I’m also going to the Jamboree I cannot wait to see and hear it!

See you than,

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
