Password: Silver Lining

 I’d love to say that if you go on an Erasmus everyday of it will be remarkable. However it might be true. 

However, however it really depends on you what you can make out of your days. Yesterday nothing so special happened that I feel like I should share with you, however on my evening walk I did came across something really funny. As I was doing my usual Rondo Dasinksiego to Rondo ONZ walk I felt like I needed to walk a bit more. So, I walked towards Zlote Tarasy, took a lap around it, walked by the best and cheapest kebab place I know in Warsaw, when I saw a GLS van parked on the side of the road. On that particular road cars have to park in a 45° engle — I personally think this is the most effective way to park, since more cars can fit than if they were parked parallel, but parking and maybe even joining the traffic flow is easier than from a 90° parking spot. Anyway, the van was significantly longer than the cars which the parking spaces were designed to, and the driver was smart enough to know if he parks as everyone else the whole rear of the van would’ve blocked half of the lane behind it. Hence, he parked the van with one wheel on the sidewalk which looked exactly like I was at a scene of the movie Cars, and that van was having a beer at a bar! Look at the picture and tell me I’m wrong because I know I’m not! 



That van right there is waiting for the bartender to show up with his pint of beer!

With is silly sounding story I think I made my point. Even if your day seems kinda boring, and you fill hopeless it only depends on you whether you are willing to take the effort and open up your eyes to search for and to see the silver lining. Because I am a 100% sure that there is always a sliver lining if not many, but you have to get up and take the effort and search for it! 

So, remember even if your day was a boring Sunday there is always a silver lining and I want you to go out there and find that silver lining! That’s what makes us humans special, that we not only search for something to eat, but also for happiness. And we all deserve happiness.

That’s it for today, remember: 

‘behind the clouds, the Sun is shining

Believe me even though you can’t quite make it our

You may not see the silver lining 

But there’s a big blue ski waiting right behind the clouds.’ — as Brad Paisley says or actually sings.

Okay, that’s it for today, I want you to remember there’s always a silver lining, and I want you to listen to that song — Behind the Clouds by Brad Paisley.

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 ...
