New Milestone! — Or Kilometer-stone

 Yesterday we celebrated! Because yesterday’s blog was the 100th blog I’ve ever written! How amazing is that?!  We’ve been thru a lot of days and trips together and I’d like to thank you for all the positive comments/feedbacks that basically kept the blog alive and gave me huge motivation to sit down and share my days with y’all. Thank you!

How did we celebrate? Well I guess the traditional way to celebrate is to open a bottle of champagne or at least a bottle of wine and say cheers… However, we, we’ve chosen a different approach to the celebration. We cooked. Not that Breaking Bad kinda batches were made, but I bet the staff that we cooked is way better than the blue. We cooked little chocorolls — kakaós csiga; if you have better translation feel free to share it — and we cooked some sorta hot dog as well.

We’ve enjoyed the oven sooo much! We bought factory-made lasagne that we cooked in it, than we bought some also factory-made pizzas that we cooked for dinner. I never really understood the concept of these fake prepared dishes until yesterday. Although it would’ve been great to prepare our own dough, our own sauce, and our own toppings, we didn’t want to spend that much time in the kitchen, we just wanted to enjoy the oven. And later we baked the previously mentioned chocorolls and baked hot dog thingies.

In the meantime I was also enjoying the huge apartment! Our apartment in Warsaw is super tiny — I believe it’s under 25m*m, maybe somewhere around 20m*m, but I’ve never measured — however the place we rented in Lublin was at least twice the size of our place! The longest distance I could walk was from the front door to the terrace and it was 8-10 meter! I was literally doing jumping jacks from door to door when I was bored.

We also had a huge television with a comfy couch and with Netflix connection, we watched at least four movies on it. You might ask why on Earth did we travel 500km to sit in a room and cook and watch TV. Well I don’t know. We probably could’ve just rented some similar places in Warsaw, but we wanted to travel. Is this a good answer? I don’t know… But our whole stay in Lublin was so good I wouldn’t change anything about it! It was such an amazing feeling when Sari and I both entered a different room. By now you probably think I’m crazy, but you know what?! What if there’s nothing wrong with that? Do whatever makes you happy that’s my philosophy.

Before you would really think that we just sat home on our first day in Lublin, Imma tell you that we also went for a walk in the city. We explored some of the nightlife of Lublin. However for the city review you have to tune in for the next blog!

Till then; take care

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
