Presenting My Present Hunt

 Yesterday was a shopping day. Again. However this time it wasn’t just the weekly grocery shopping! Now we’ve started preparing for Christmas! 

In the morning we went to our usual store or actually mall and while Sari was doing the grocery shopping I was searching for something, something that I don’t really wanna write down because Sari might read this. Although I walked 3 km in the mall, unfortunately I couldn’t find what I was looking for… So I joined Sari and helped with the shopping. Although we thought there would be no one in the grocery store at 1000 we seemed to be wrong. The whole store was packed with people, significant amount of old people were doing their grocery shopping which was quite surprising to me. Not the fact that old people buy food, but amount of them concentrated at the shop! Where’ve all these people been before? Or maybe older people only eat at holidays? 

Buying things in the store wasn’t easy because of the crowd however leaving the store wasn’t easier either! We waited 10 minutes (!) to get out of the parking lot! That’s crazy!

After we got home I went on a walk to see what shops are near us, I was expecting to find a shop that sales the goods I need. They didn’t. I walked for almost 2 hours and couldn’t find anything. Bummer. However I know a place near the university I’ll try to get there nowadays hoping to find the perfect present.

After I’ve found nothing I was headed back home because reason a) I was starving and reason b) my class was about to start! Although I generally like my classes this one was a bit weird. I don’t know what to think about a class where the task is to solve a questionnaire by using the internet. I could do that without having a class! I do that all day actually. Readying news, reading interesting articles, listening to podcasts that’s an everyday thing that doesn’t really need a teacher. 

Anyway we learnt a few thing about Japan; for instance the Japanese immigration policies and how they changed over the years. I bet you didn’t know that Japan is one of the few countries that doesn’t give automatically a citizenship to the baby who was born in  Japan, only those can be Japanese citizens who’s parent is Japanese. Strange isn’t it? 

Unfortunately I have to finish today’s blog here because my phone is don its last legs. I hope you all doing great and I’ll see you tomorrow.

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...
