Back On Instagram, Plus Christmas Lights in the City

 So, just before I get into today’s blog I wanna do a quick heads up to those who read my blog from my Instagram stories. My laptop had died a few days ago so from now on I’m writing my blog on my iPhone — and old crapy iPhone — which unfortunately has a limited capacity of everything basically, but I’ll do my best to make your reading as enjoyable as possible! 

So, yesterday yes. Yesterday we cooked some amazing spaghetti — yeah I know it’s not the hardest thing to cook but it was really good — then we watched some Breaking Bad, and when we finally had enough of the show we went for a walk. 

We got on the tram number 13 which has a great route to the historic downtown. The line is shaky, curvy with full of accelerations and decelerations it’s literally like a rollercoaster. And it stops right after the tunnel that runs under the downtown. It’s really beautiful. 

By the time we got of the tram it was already dark, and for our biggest surprise all the lights were on! (Yeah maybe a little heads up is needed here as well; when Anna and Mate were here all the Christmas lights were prepared the Christmas tree was at its place ready to shin, however for some unknown reasons to science the council refused to turn them on… until yesterday! — seems like.) We did our little tour of the historic downtown, which is thanks to the Nazis and Commies is really small. Although the whole downtown is just like six streets max. every single inhabitant of Warsaw were walking around on them. The place was super crowded! We walked from the main square to the barbican and back to the main square, but the incredible amount of people made the whole experience less and less enjoyable, till the point when we said fuck it we are going home. We will go back maybe on Monday, I expect significantly less people wondering around in the downtown on a Monday night than on a Saturday night. What were we thinking?!




Although walking around downtown wasn’t the best experience, it was really necessary for us to leave the apartment for a bit. This whole online studying is great, apart from the fact it’s not. Sitting home and looking at the walls isn’t great plus we haven’t seen any other students in two years? At least I haven’t, Sari has better luck with the university in this perspective. 

However it’s not gonna be like this in a few weeks — hopefully. We called a vaccination center to get our third dose, and as soon as we got it we are hitting the road! Oh, yes can’t wait for that to finally happen! And don’t worry you guys are invited as well!

Till then, take care have a great day and a vaccine against Covid-19, if you can! It’s a lifesaver, like literally.

Have a good one,

Almos

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 ...
