Snowstorm

 Yesterday when we woke up we weren’t expecting much of the day. It was supposed to be a just a regular Monday, with nothing special. However…

So, after we woke up I walked Sari to the bus stop — just to make sure she left for the university haha — and then I went to the closet bigger grocery store to buy myself some vitamins. When I left the mall wind started blowing like a mad man, according to my phone the windspeed was 43km/h! After a few minutes huge dark clouds gathered and as I walked a long a few raindrops fall on my head. Naturally I’ve started — silently — singing “raindrops keep falling on my head, just like a guy who’s feet are too big for his head” then however the raindrops started change to snowflakes! Huge huge snowstorm was hitting Warsaw bigtime! Unfortunately I had to rush back to our apartment because otherwise I would’ve had some terrible trouser accident. What a shame… However I did have the opportunity to enjoy the strange phenomenon from our window. It was the second enormous storm in what, three days, five days? There were even lightning before some thunder! The snow fall so fast that even the main roads turned white! It was so beautiful! I wish we had more snowstorm coming! Be careful what you wish for, but I really want more snow around. I could live without the massive wind tho.




— I know these pictures probably won’t end up being a cover for National Geographic, I’ve just uploaded them, so you would have something to watch. —

Anyway, after Sari’s classes were over we met at the grocery store I went to in the morning to do the grocery shopping. It felt a bit silly to go to the same store twice one day, I could’ve easily done the grocery shopping in the morning when quite literally no one was at neither the grocery store nor the whole mall! It was like a ghost town!… I mean mall.

Although there was snowfall in the morning the temperatures were quite high, I was fortunate enough to walk to the mall in snow, however unfortunately the snow was already melted by the time we got out of the store… Seemed like yesterday’s snow was just a one-ish day joy.

Although the best part is just about to come; when I went on my night walk I realized the temperatures were pretty low, which resulted all the melted snow to freeze over the sidewalk, and to create thousands of new ice-skating rings all over Warsaw! Somehow here in Poland cleaning sidewalks is not a thing. All the roads were full of plow trucks, but no one was giving a shit about the sidewalks. I’m wondering to this very day why is it like that?

That’s all for today, I hope y’all doing great, stay safe,

See you next time

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 ...
