New Trip On The Horizon

 Today we’ve hit a new milestone another nice round number; today’s blog is the 90th blog I’ve written! The next round number will be 100th blog! Amazing!

Knowing yesterday that today’s blog was going to be a nice round number we’ve decided to plan another trip! This time to Eastern Poland! There are two major cities we will visit and a national park. Or national parks not quite sure yet, the weather could have a huge effect on our plans. 

So what exactly our plan is? Well the plan is to drive East to Bialystok spend an afternoon walking around the city doing all the touristy things than the next morning we would visit one or two national parks then we would spend two nights in Lublin and the next morning we will drive back to Warsaw. On our way we will stop at small yet fascinating villages everyone and then. 

What national park are we planning to visit? The mighty Bialowieza Nation Park! It’s one of the last untouched places in Europe and it is also the home of the European Bison! I’m hoping to see them all around the place wandering freely however I’m afraid they are all locked up in the reserve. We will see!

We are also very much looking forward to our accommodation in Lublin. We intentionally booked a place that has an oven! We are going to cook the shit out of that oven! We only have an induction cooker and a microwave which is like using a sledge as a daily driver; could work at some point, but it’s far from ideal. We both have at least 5 dishes we would love to cook that requires an oven, but I guess we should just take buncha boxes with us and bring them home topped off with amazing food! — We never said it out loud but I honestly think we both favored spending two nights in Lublin, because we want one day to be a cooking day haha.

It’s gonna be a fun trip, sadly/I-don’t-know-better we are going to travel all the 750km trip by car which is sad because it means we will burn around 48 liters of diesel and produce almost 126kg CO2. That sounds quite a lot. It takes 6 years for a single typical tree to absorb that amount of CO2. 6 year is a lot! Next time when you are bored and wanna go for a ride, just think about this, and take your bicycle instead of your car.

Those the takeaway thoughts of today’s blog; next time when you drive around for no reason at all think about the amount of trees that can absorb the CO2 you produced totally unnecessarily. Thank you 🙏

That’s it for today’s blog I cannot wait to share with you our upcoming trip, I hope you all doing great! 

Take care,

Almos

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 whe...

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...

Start of Our Evacuation

  So, yesterday was Sari’s last exam, which means the studying part of our Erasmus has came to an end, unfortunately not only the studying part is over, the whole Erasmus program is about to end! We even started packing yesterday… Sari’s exam was at noon, which is possibly the worst time to write a test, because you can’t even eat before the test which means your brain doesn’t necessarily have enough sugar to work. We were hungry and had no motivation to cook, and we were planning to go to IKEA anyways, so we decided to beat the traffic instead and have some good old IKEA vegetarian hotdogs. It was totally worth, we payed 14 zlotyi for a two meals. That simply doesn’t happen anywhere else. Then we walked around in IKEA God and Sari only knows what we were looking for, but we only found something I wanted for a long time. A doormat with ‘Dzien dobry’ sign on it.  mint isn’t it? When we got out of the store I hoped we were out of the woods, but then it turned out we still have t...
