Geography Is Good!

 Yesterday was my dad’s birthday! So, I’m starting today’s blog with a happy birthday to him! Happy Birthday dad! 

Apart from this I’ve officially ended No Shave November and got rid of all the facial hair I managed to grow in this 4ish weeks. I’m not saying I’m disappointed but some 13 year old kids can grow more glorious beard than I could. But it’s what it is and I’ve already written to much about it, all I wanted to point out is No Shave November has a meaning, and Sari was delighted when I got rid of my chin hair.

After shave — haha — we did our usual daily routine, I had my class on Natural Environment of Poland, Sari had her own class, we cooked lunch and so on. But I’d like to turn get back to my class on Poland’s nature if I may, because I think it’s a great class in general, and it’s really important to learn about the country you live in. If you had Geography classes wherever you lived as a child, why wouldn’t you have at least one Geography class of the place you live now? Just as it is important to know the general Geography of a county for instance where the mountains are and where the flatlands are you can also use these classes to plan your next trip. Yes, it makes exploring a country much-much easier if you have a professor who tells you where the interesting stuffs are, and in the end of the semester you even get credits for it! What is this if not a win-win-win-win-win case?

So, one of the — or perhaps the only — take aways of todays blog is; even if you hate Geography, apply for a Geography course on the country you are going on an Erasmus, so you will be told where to travel in the country for credits! Very important! 

After my class we did our compulsory daily walk, we walked to Zlote Tarasy to do our grocery shopping, and checked all the shoe selling places, because we are looking for some warm boots for Sari. Spoiler alert we haven’t found any that she liked and we will not find any she would like, not now not in a million years. Girls… Can’t live with them, can’t live without them, eh? Just kidding love you babe!

When we got back home we did a video call to celebrate my dad with my family. It was weird — yes, even after two years in the online education it was weird — but also great to see everyone.

I believe that’s all worth mentioning, I hope y’all doing great, and remember; Geography classes are good, they give you free travel advices!

Take care,

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 ...
