Important Message

 So, yesterday was finally a rest day. Two days before yesterday was the end of our contest and that night I went to bed late because I was waiting on the results. Than the day before yesterday I got up early, not because I wanted to, just because I got used to getting up early. Unlucky, eh? Anyway, the day before yesterday I went to bed in time and then yesterday I slept in pretty late, and now I’m pretty much reenergized — yes, I believe todays blog isn’t going to be the most exciting blog, where I discover new places in Warsaw, but I want you to see that not everyday will be extremely exciting when you are on Erasmus; somedays are very exciting; actually most of the days, but there are also days when you just need to get some rest.

We played cards watched some Kara and Nate the usual staff. I’ve started really loving their content recently. Although it seems like they are a bit fakeish with their #vanlife thing and they are doing that country counting thing that is kinda unnecessary, they still seem to be really nice, and they don’t claim themselves to be hardcore vanlifers, and they also don’t suggest or give you that feeling if you haven’t been to a *random number* country you are nobody. So they aren’t that fake after all. And their contents are pretty great, check them out if you are out on the market for a youtube channel.

While we were playing card I accidentally looked out of the window and saw some pretty dark clouds North from Warsaw. They really looked like storm clouds even though storms are not that common at winter. After a few minutes everything got dark outside and when I turned West I saw the end of the storm clouds. It looked like a supercell, but I couldn’t tell from side profile. While I was trying to work out what the heck was what we were seeing hail started falling from the sky! It really was an enormous storm cloud which resulted meteorological phenomenon that are more typical in the summertime than at winter. I’m not saying such thing never happened before the industrial revolution, however us burning fossil fuels does make these phenomenons more frequent. So, don’t drive to Starbucks for a fucking coffee do your own at home damn it. Stop driving around for no reason! Take a bus, ride, or just simply walk! I walk or ride all the time! I can assure you it’s totally doable! I might consider yesterday as a rest day, however in the evening I still managed to walk 9 km! I did my everyday walk between the two nearby rondos — roundabouts in Polish — and then back to our apartment. 



That’s today’s blog’s message; drive less, walk more! Your grandchildren will thank you later.

Thanks for reading, and choosing walking over driving!

Take care

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 ...
