Cultural Day

 Yesterday was cultural day. In the end of the day. However it didn’t start like that in the morning.

When I got up I went to a mall — in the past few days I’ve been to so many malls I can’t even recall its name or even where it was… I was looking for two particular items however to make life easier they were in completely different kinda shops. Although I walked around all the flights at least twice I could not find what I was looking for. — it’s kinda funny because so many things happened to me thru my shopping trip I would love to tell you, but I’m afraid Sari might read my blog and I would get busted —

When I finally gave up it was already dark, and I’ve received a warning message from Sari that we have to be at the theater by 1745. So, I was in a rush to get home. I mean I didn’t even had anything in my stomach, so I had to have lunch/dinner I don’t know what to call a meal at 1645.

We’ve put on our nice clothes; the theater appropriate clothes — yes you don’t go to a fucking theater in jeans damn it. Unfortunately I only had a nice shirt no suits, but at least I wasn’t wearing jeans damn it. Sari looked absolutely gorgeous in her dress, but I guess you didn’t expect else from her — I know I didn’t, she knows how to dress up.

While she was getting ready I was supposed to go to a grocery shop and bought us a small bottle of water. However I didn’t. I did buy a bottle of water, but I got fooled by the label. I got fooled bad. I wanted to buy a half liter bottle, I found several bottles in the fridge all 0.5 liters  except one. But that one was the cheapest and the label said 472 something. It was kinda suspicious a strange number like that. In what unit could it make sense? — I thought. Anyway I bought it, when Sari saw it she wasn’t pleased with it… The whole point of buying a bottle was that we needed a smaller bottle than the ones we already had and I bought an even bigger one… I kinda see her point.

Anyway we got on a bus and commuted to the National Opera. You can Google it, it’s a big-ass building, it has several shops and cafés in the side of it. It took us at least 8 minutes to find the entrance. We weren’t running around desperately, it had only taken us 8ish minutes because it’s such a huge building. 

When we finally found our way in everyone was filling out some sorta paper, we had no idea what it was so I had to ask several people about it. First I asked a girl but she didn’t speak any English — she was our age wtf?! — then I asked the cashier, it didn’t really made any sense what she was saying, so I asked another girl, she and her mother could help us which was a relief, because the whole paper was Polish. As it turned out it we had to write our names, contact, and our seats’ numbers. 

After all the hustle we eventually got inside the whole place looked a bit cheap. The huge columns where covered with aluminum and etc. Although the building itself wasn’t really special the Nutcracker was pretty good. The details in the play were uncanny. It was really interesting. I was happy Sari made us watch it.

Us looking all smart and dressed up, and that special water bottle. 


That’s if for today, I hope you weren’t expecting some serious analysis of the play because this isn’t that kinda blog. 

Take care of yourselves folks, see you tomorrow

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
