Yet Another Shopping Day

 Yesterday was a quite busy day. We’ve visited at least 3 shops – if we don’t count our pitstop at Zabka for some hotdogs. Oh, yes after what feels like a year, we finally got some hotdogs!

But let’s start our day in the beginning, shall we?

I had some doubts about us going to Gdansk the day before yesterday, but somewhere deep in my hearth I still had hope. Well, yesterday morning that little hope was gone really quick when we got up and I checked the time; it was pretty late, almost 10 am I believe. So, we ditch the trip and came up with a new plan. We wanted to go to a Decathlon, and by something… I can’t even recall what we wanted to buy – I guess it must be something very important right? Anyway, we checked on Google how many Decathlons are in Warsaw, where those shops are, which are the ones we might’ve already been to; and we found one that we have never been to, but looked like a big store with buncha stuff in it – I’m not materialist, but in the end of the day that’s what matters, doesn’t it? So, the shop looked great we were all excited about going there, when it turned out it is 40 minutes by bus. But we were so in the mood of shopping (I cannot believe I’ve just written those words wtf?!) or I should rather say we were committed to leave the apartment (yeah, this is more “me”) we were okay with sitting on a disease spreader for 40 minutes. But you know what? That bus tour was actually pretty interesting! I’m really glad we didn’t back off the plan, because we got to see yet another side of Warsaw! We were traveling on a highwayish road and on the right side we saw those ugly communist-like apartment block, while on the other side there were these fancy newly designed, high-end apartment block with glass guardrails and etc. It was a really interesting moment to see the past and the future in the same place. One day we, or our grandchildren will look at those shiny and fancy apartment blocks and they will be disgusted by their looks – just as we are disgusted by the looks of the commie concrete boxes.

When we got to the shop, we explored the whole of it. It was interesting to see the difference in the prices and the supply – compared to Hungary ofc. After it was enough of the sporty stuff, we went to another shop called tiger? As far as I can tell that shop is full of things that look good, makes some wanna buy them, but in reality, you do not need anything what they can offer. That place is full of future trashcan fillings. Absurd. After the catty shop we went to our last shop to buy some food, but at that point I was just trying to survive, so basically, I have no memories to share with you.

But what I do wanna share with you is how we got those hotdogs! So, when we finished our exciting Decathlon tour we were starving. There was a McDonalds near the bus station, but I wasn’t willing to pay 50 zloty for a sandwich, or two sandwiches – it doesn’t really change the point – so I decided we should hop on a bus and head downtown to find a Zabka and have some hotdogs. Hmm… as it turned out this story is waaay more boring than I though it was going to be! Unfortunately I'm really tired.

I believe today’s blog doesn’t have an educational part… neither an entertaining part, so sorry for taking your time and disappointing you. I’m not even gonna share this blog on Instagram it’s so bad. Buuutttt in case you do read it, it means you are a hardcore fan who is fallowing me regardless my Instagram promotions, so thank you!

Tomorrow blog will be much-much better, thank you for your support and take care!

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 ...
