Trip to the Movies

 Yesterday when I woke up I could defines tell I had gone running the day before yesterday. My muscles we a bit sore and surprisingly my knee hurt also.

And that was the end of my complains, because after I finally got out of my bed things turned for the better. We cooked some awesome lunch, which set the awesome mood for our date-night. We were going to the movies! Sari has never been to movie theater outside Hungary, and I haven’t been in a movie theater in Poland either, so we decided to give it a shot. Luckily here, in Poland most of the movies are in their original language, and all they have in Polish is the subtitles. This is a genius idea when it comes to American movies, however it could be definitely an issue, when they are playing some Portuguese movies. We heard the thriller of a Spanish movie, and well… I wouldn’t watch that even if it was interesting. 

The movie theater we went to was in Zlote Tarasy and I think was called Multi Kino. It seemed like a huge movie theater chain like Cinema City. The movie theater was located on the top floor of the mall, and had two stories! Our movie was played on the top floor, so we figured we should buy some popcorn quickly before we go upstairs. As it turned out, they are allowed to sell popcorn, however you are not allowed to eat it during the movie, nor to drink anything. But you can buy takeaway-popcorn, which I personally think is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Takeaway-popcorn my ass. We bought some, just because someone among us believes the only way you can watch a movie in a movie theater is by eating popcorn. I don’t like popcorn, so that makes it easy to find out who was that person… 

After we purchased our takeaway popcorn, they checked our immunity card, and then we were allowed to enter the stairs. After we got past the checkpoint, we didn’t see any staff member, we were left alone to find the room. Which didn’t cause any problem, just I think it was surprising. Usually places like this are overprotected, to make sure every dambass make his way to his seat.

When we got to the room it was totally empty, we were the first who arrived, so we had the opportunity to explore. They had VIP seats, which were bigger and frankly much comfortable than the other chairs, and they had wide armrest as well. Our cheap seats turned out to be pretty comfortable as well, we had much bigger leg-space than we would have had if we were in a movie theater in Pécs. It was a really positive experience.



After the movies we took a detour to the Palace of Culture and Sciences, where we found a huge fundraise party.  It looked fun, but we didn’t find to much information on it. 




That’s it for today, see you tomorrow,

Take care

The actual first day at the University of Warsaw

  Soo, I know I already wrote a blog with this title, but that day (the day before yesterday?) I only had an online class which does not qualify as a normal in-person class! It simply does not. My first class was an online class, at 4pm – which is always fun – after it was my second class that was at the university! What a relief to have a class where I can see other people, and the lecturer doesn’t have terrible audio! What was not that good about it is it was freaking hard! I wasn’t expecting a Polish language class to be easy but wow! It is the next level of randomly placed letters in a word. And the fact that the class starts at 6.30pm does not help us. It seems like usually we are allowed to miss two classes, which is less – by one – than we can in Pécs, but here at the language course we have two classes per week and also two opportunities to miss class which honesty sucks… I do want to learn a Slavic language to be able to communicate in the Balkan, or catch some word when my

Let's pretend this is day one(?)

  Today we just took the time to really concentrate on ourselves. In the morning we slept late, then I did my little yoga with Bohobeautiful, after that we started cooking lunch and dinner yada-yada-yada. We did participate in an online webinar about the library in Warsaw. To be completely honest I am not big of a fan of libraries. Not like I wouldn’t like to read, but somehow every time I went to the library back at home, I could tell based on people’s look that they knew I was studying sports and therefore I did not belong to a library. Of course, Sara was paying attention she studies at the faculty of Humanities, “her type’s” natural habitat is the library. While we were listening to the presentation, I had the time to think. And I realized a rather strange thing. Yesterday while we were talking with Ola, we were Americans ! I mean me and Sara… Okay, let me explain. So, every time I hear some English-speaking dude walking down the street talking on the phone or with someone, I

Last Day in Warsaw

  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 for th
