Happy New Year!

 So, yesterday was New Year’s Eve which means you are reading this blog on the first day of 2022! Happy New Year! 

The preparation for yesterday has already started in Lublin with cooking some dishes/desserts, and the day before yesterday when we were driving home from Lublin and stopped at a city’s grocery store to buy champagne and some accessories for yesterday’s dishes.

All that preparation seemed to be going  wasted on the day before yesterday because I felt definitely sick. By 2000 I knew I was about to have fever, and I had heatwaves thru all night… To cope with the fever I was drinking water, a lot of water. I drank 250ml in every half an hour which resulted me going to the bathroom just as often. I think I managed to sleep around 3 hours that night. It wasn’t awful lot and probably didn’t help with the healing, however surprisingly it didn’t effect the next day that much. I really didn’t feel that tired the whole day. Looking back, I’m not quite sure if I could tell because I was in the bed the whole morning and early afternoon.

Then we watched Cars, and an episode of Scrubs. My idea was to watch one episode of it, and listen to the episode of Fake Doctors Real Friends connected to it, while we were playing cards. It was really nice I had lot of fun. We needed to spice up our card games because with only one opponent it could got really boring. However with sharing our attention it was way more interesting, and we were concentrating less on the cards which made things more interesting.

We stopped playing cards around 2230 and started thinking about watching the fireworks from the main square. I was till a bit sick, but the bigger problem was that we were both bit tired, and lazy. But we thought ‘what would we remember more 10 years later?’ Choosing the more comfortable option and still home chilling, or we put our back into the last few hours of the year and see go see the fireworks. We opted for the last, got on a bus and commute to the downtown area. We walked to the old town on Novy Swat street which was closed from traffic and became a huge pedestrian highway. We did the usual walk in the historic downtown and got back to the main square just in time for the fireworks. There was an older, probably middle aged couple in front of us who asked us to take some photos from them with the fireworks, and then I asked them to switch roles for a bit. Unfortunately the fireworks stopped at the exact time I gave her my phone. Unlucky haha.





We watched the fireworks and shot the last pictures of the year. And when I say fireworks I mean fireworks from various locations and usually made by random citizens! I honestly don’t think there were any official fireworks last night, anywhere we went there were those paper boxes all over the sidewalks. I think the rule here is more or less the same as it is in Hungary; you can only do fireworks on New Year’s Eve, and that — plus the last year’s restrictions — resulted the people going mad with the fireworks.

So that was our New Year’s Eve, I hope you also had a blast and you’re ready for the new year,

I wish y’all the best and happy New Year!

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 ...
