Breaking Bad, Breakingdown



Yesterday Sara didn’t feel okay, so we spent most of the day in the apartment healing.

We watched almost a season of Breaking Bad – if you know the show you are not surprised, right?! That thing is just simply magnificent! All the connections, the different storylines, how those storylines connect, and the numerous anticipations… just simply wow! I have seen it a few years ago, but I’m telling you; it is just as exciting now than it was back then! And it does not bother me for a second that I kinda know what’s going to happen and when! I’m a huge fan! (Yes, of course it is hard sometimes knowing that there are people out there who would murder anyone for a sip of meth – or whatever is called one dose – but I think on the other hand if more youngsters see where the road of drugs lead, they might change their thoughts on trying or in a worse case using them!)

I also listened to my favorite podcast Fake Doctors Real Friends. The thing is that it only comes out every Tuesday – I believe on Tuesday, or maybe on Wednesday I dunno, the point is it comes out only once a week – so I started listening to older podcasts, right from the first episode of the podcast actually. And it was kinda shocking, really! I remember listening to the first few episodes back then, and it was really mind-blowing… Back then when we didn’t really know what this Covid crap was – except scientist who knew about SARS since 2002 – aand we all were a little… erm what’s the word, skeptical? We couldn’t imagine that this little virus thingy can flash down the toilet our economies, our social lives, our freedom. It just sounded as a joke basically. By the time the first few podcasts of Fake Doctors Real Friends were aired America and many other countries in Europe and Asia had huge mortality numbers among those who were infected, and both Zack Braff and Donald Faison was quite afraid of the whole virus; they stressed what a nice gesture it was that we all were cheering medical workers by clapping our hands every evening at 8pm. Back then we all were waiting for some sorta miracle that we reckoned were called vaccines. The truly sad thing is nothing has really changed since 2019. Okay something did change; we stopped cheering medical workers – although they are still working their butts off at the intensive care – and now we have those vaccines, but people don’t wanna take them! I don’t understand why?! That was the only hope we had back in the days everyone was looking forward to it and now a significant amount of people are not willing to do the responsible thing and take the vaccines. Two words; social responsibility. If you are not afraid of getting the virus and ending up in the ICU, it okay, you don’t have to, but not taking the vaccines means you increase the chances of other people ending up in the ICU. In this question, in a pandemic the stress is not on you and your freedom on choosing to take a vaccine or not, but the real question is are you willing to keep us wearing masks in shops, having online classes, making us social distancing from our loved ones, and keep us in danger of getting the sickness and worst-case scenario killing us. It might sound ridiculous, or overthought, but basically it is what it is. Your freedom should not affect others freedom. I’m not saying I don’t like you if you don’t get vaccinated right now, but please do me, your parents, your grandparents, and the people around you a favor and do think about it.
Please.

– this whole monolog was inspired by the podcast episode, and the email I received in the morning about my one and only in-person class… Yes you probably guessed it; it’s going online from next week… great – 

I think I’ve covered the vaccines’ and the virus’ question let’s get back to our day, or what’s left to tell you about my yesterday.
In the evening we went on a small walk – north from where we live. I believe we have never been to those streets before! It was quite interesting. We also found a scooter, and another scooter, or actually what was left of the second scooter. I have no idea what happened to that thing, but it did not look good. Here, I’ll show you:

 

I believe that’s it for today, take care as always,
Thanks for reading,

Last Day in Warsaw

Image
  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 fo...

Eastern Poland

  Yesterday we broke the record of the number policeman we have met ever in a day. They were everywhere. However before getting in to that we started our day in Bialystok. Where it was -10°C in the morning! I got us some breakfast then till Sari packed our staff I went to get our car. While I was walking to it I checked all the cars on the street how icy were they trying to assume how thick ice cover did my car grow overnight. Luckily the car was only covered with some snowish loose staff that was easy to get rid off with a broom. However in the inside everything was frozen. The motor didn’t even start for the first time, then when it finally started it sounded like when you didn’t put the dishes properly in the washing machine and everything falls out, that was the exact same noise my motor was sounding. It was definitely not pleasant.  The temperature had risen to -8°C by the time we got to our first stop. It was the Church of Trezescinka: a beautiful huge wooden church with...

Sunday Market

  Yesterday we went to the Sunday Market. Or actually we went to a Sunday market – I suppose there are several Sunday markets all over Warsaw. The one we went to is called Gielda Staroci na Kole. Although it wasn’t as big as the Sunday market in Pécs, I still wouldn’t call it small. As we saw they mostly sell porcelains, old coins, tools, and similar useful goods. Visiting this market was quite an experience! The market itself takes place at a closed garden, but the garden seems to be not big enough for all the sellers, some of them sell their staff on the street right next to the market! First, we didn’t even know what’s up with that place. We didn’t see the conception. It took some time and some walking for us to comprehend what’s going on. I might’ve told you earlier, my plan was to buy a bike, so I could ride it to the uni, so one of the reasons we went to the market to see if they have bikes, if they have how much they cost, and what they look like. Well unfortunately they ...
