I’m heading off into the forest to the town I used to live in. The hotel I’ll be staying in doesn’t have free internet access, so don’t look for any updates til I get to Warsaw, and then only if the hotel still has free internet access.
Had a great time staying at this hotel. Plenty of people to hang out with in the evenings. Last night I talked about teaching with a German that teaches Political Science in Kaliningrad and one of his Russian students, as well as a male nurse from Spain that’s doing an internship in Sweden, while the one of the French people I mentioned a few days ago (who, by the way is a fellow blogger) played the guitar. This is life!
Adios for now.
Having a great time;
Met up with three friends yesterday;
Spent time reminiscing;
Sunny weather;
I still love Poland as much as I did when I lived here.
I arrived in Gdansk despite the fog not wanting us to.
Staying at a backpackers’ hotel with free internet access.
Currently in the lounge with:
3 Americans
3 French people
1 Aussie
1 Scotsman
1 German
1 Welchman
Life is good.
(after an annoying five hour stop at work (I’m taking my backpack with me))
It’s been 1 ½ years since I last visited the wonderful country I spent 3 years in before moving to Germany, so I’m totally looking forward to this trip. I’ve arranged to meet friends in each of the three places I’ll be visiting, but I have to admit that the place I’m looking forward to the most is my lovely town of 20,000 people in the Lake District.
So, you lot are on your own for a bit.
I am definitely not a morning person.
Despite the fact that I usually get up early, I am not all that pleasant of a person in the morning. That worked out fine when I lived in Poland, as I didn’t have to deal with people until 15h. However, it’s quite different here. Granted, most of my colleagues do know that I’m not a morning person, so they steer clear of me until afternoon.
Also, I teach a class 7h30 – 9h on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the good news is that the students in that class are not morning people either.

and if so do you happen to have (or know somebody that has) an extra couch (or even floorspace) that Elemmaciltur could crash on for a bit? He’s been left high and dry. If so, please contact him (calaquendeli AT yahoo DOT de) as soon as possible.
I’ve just ensured that it’ll be raining in my town in Poland on Saturday. I’ve arranged to do some cycling with a friend and have a barbeque in her village afterwards.
I don’t like seafood. I’ve never liked it and stopped trying it about 25 years ago.
I have to admit, though, that I did used to enjoy a (Starkist) tuna fish sandwich two or three times a year when I lived in the US (perhaps to reaffirm to myself that I don’t like fish).
I remember a funny story from when I was growing up about this. We were on vacation somewhere and my parents and brother wanted seafood, but they knew that I didn’t like it. So, one parent and my brother went to a seafood restaurant and the other parent and I went to Burger King.
