Clouds

 So, yesterday… I can’t really recall what happened yesterday… And to be honest I’m struggling quite a lot in the last few days when it came to writing my blog. Partly because I’m always walking at the time I used to write, however there’s also another reason. Slowly our Erasmus is coming to an end! Only 31 days are left! And 31 days are not an awful lot. It really makes me sad and overwhelmed. I know we haven’t been here for 10 years, but trust me thinking about leaving Warsaw does feel like leaving a place that we’ve been living for the past 10 years. I’m gonna miss the city, the apartment, and I most certainly will miss the safe and warm garage.

Although it’s quite hard to remember what happened yesterday I’ll try to do my best recalling. 

Sari had a class in the morning, so I walked her to the bus stop, then I walked back home to wash all the dishes. After I was done Sari’s classes were over so I went to meet her. The plan was to get to the meeting point at the exact same time, but some how the subway was way faster then any of us would’ve expected it to be, so I was still on my way when Sari was already there. She asked me where I was and I thought it would be educational — not sure if that’s the word I’m looking for here — to send her a picture of my current position and let’s see if she could find out where I was. The first picture wasn’t too obvious, however on the second she couldn’t have seen the sign of the street if she would’ve watched instead of saw. However, however when I was composing the picture I saw something I haven’t saw for a very long time. Up above me there was a huge blue thingy. It was the sky! The sky was there! Not the hateful, disgusting, depressing, gray clouds. It just made my day. I was so glad to finally see the blue sky and the sun. Whenever I’m planning to go to a new place in Warsaw like a bus station, or the airport when our guests were coming I always checked the place on Google Street View. And for the first few months I didn’t realize what was odd about those pictures. However in the last month it got obvious. All the Street View pictures were taken at summer, all the pictures had beautiful blue sky! So, every time I checked something I was like ‘that place looks so beautiful how is that possible that there’s such a nice place in Warsaw and I haven’t been there yet?!’ And then I usually realize that that place is either in our neighborhood or our actual street, but with sunlight and blue sky. I’m gonna say it… clouds are fucked up! We definitely don’t need them unless they are for snowing, raining, or providing shade in the summertime.



I got a bit distracted I think, but I have to close today’s blog here, I hope y’all doing great!

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 ...
