Moving

 Yesterday I went running. I’ll give you a minute here to process. I started my day running, I ran four rounds around our block, then I walked to the 9th floor and I was dead. It really took out a lot of energy, and my days of preparing for the athletic exams are over. 

After I climbed up I had a little rest and then I headed back down for a supply run at the nearest store. I would’ve gone for the one that was a bit further away, but we needed bread for lunch and Sari was starving so I had no time to jerk around and walk the extra mile. I had time till she finished her essay, so I decided to walk a few laps around the neighbor block before I entered the shop. And I saw two interesting things, both at the construction site nearby. One was a truck towing a huge orange/yellow thingy to the construction site, the other was a generator trailer that was relocated with a crane. I mean it could’ve bene pushed, rolled, towed, or pulled, but no, the workers decided they have to lift it up 15 meters from the ground to get it to another place. I think this was one of the best examples of: just because you can it doesn’t mean you should. Unfortunately I couldn’t watched the whole show — although I was really curious what’s up with that orange/yellow thingy — because Sari was ready with here task and our lunch.



So, by the time I got home lunch was already waiting for me, so we ate quick and then headed out again. This time we were off to shopping. But since we still have no public transportation pass we walked. At least my milage grows like mushrooms. 

After shopping I went on an evening walk as well. I walked the usual Rondo ONZ and Rondo Dasinksiego route. It was a really nice walk, the road was still wet from the rain, cars were dragging huge water ‘tails’ behind them. It looked like a foam party’s car version. I walked two laps around the two ‘rondos’ before I started walking home.

I thought I’ll break some sorta record of mine with yesterday’s walks, so I was really surprised when it turned out that I only walked 11.7 km! I haven’t even hit 15 km! Scandalous! Although I haven’t walked as much as I hoped for, however I did filled all my rings on my watch, which got me closer to my goal of closing all rings in seven days in a row, and the same challenge but counting only the days in January, and closing the Exercises rings thru one whole month.

Altogether it was an okay day, with ups and downs.

I hope you had a great day, and till tomorrow;

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 ...
