Thursday

 Oookay, so yesterday was a pretty lazy day. We basically did nothing. Well, I rather say nothing spectacular. I should have had one online class, but I didn’t receive any invitation to a Google Meet whatever as I normally do. I checked my email accounts several time, but I finally gave up. After almost 45 minutes after the official start of the class I did receive an email from the professor apologizing for the late notification, but he got Covid, thanks God he is okay, just lost his sense of taste, but we won’t have classes till I don’t know maybe for 2 weeks or so.

Apart from this unsuccessful class I kept my promise I made myself yesterday and I did listen to my favorite podcast called Fake Doctors Real Friends! It feels like I’m already better at understanding what they are saying after just one of their podcasts! Maybe it’s not my English is what I’m having problem with, maybe the lack of concentration skill(?) is the problem. Anyway, I’ll keep listening to them and improve myself!

And another thing I’m working on is our Polish holiday plans. We’re going to have 2 days off next week because Thursday is a holiday in Poland, and we would like to travel somewhere. My original plan was to go to Gdansk, then to Szczecin from there to Berlin, then head south to the Swiss Saxon National Park and Praha, and then back to Warsaw. But Sara doesn’t wanna travel that much, and it would be pretty expensive, so she does have a point…
The other option is to take a train go to Gdansk and do the northern part of my trip with public transport – given the gas prizes this would be the most economical decision, but on the other hand do we wanna sit 5 hours on a covid infested train? – or take a plane to Finland and travel around there. I wanna go to Nordkapp the Northernmost point of Continental Europe! This time of the year would be really interesting, we would only have something like 2 hours of sunlight max, it’s most likely covered with snow, and if we got lucky with the clouds, we could see the Northern light as well! What a trip it would be! But it’s also stupid expensive, and I’m afraid we cannot afford to do that… accommodations are freaking expensive! Maybe we should just sleep at the railway stations to make the trip affordable… I don’t know. We will see… I hope we will find a way to travel cheap!

If you have any ideas, please do share them with us, we are opened for any suggestions!
Thanks,

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 ...
