Cemetery

Yesterday, I headed out with a few friends (including the woman who lost my phone. See last blog.) to a cemetery in Warsaw. Typically, I think visiting cemeteries is a bit weird, but, as everyone hyped up this holiday and told the foreign students at my school we had to go to cemetery I decided to go and arranged for a group of us to go together.

Screw this, literally.

Today (Wednesday, September 5, 2007) I was investigating my apartment in Warsaw.  Specifically, I was trying to figure out what seemingly useless switches were supposed to accomplish.

I just realized what one of the big draws of travel is for me - the complete and utter ecstasy of not knowing anything about what's going on. I was looking through photos of Paris and I only have one that I'm the subject of. I'm on top of Arch de Triomphe. The background: a metropolis of some twelve plus million francophone speakers and no one knows who I am, what I do, what I think, or that I simply don't care about some things. Ecstasy.

An Insane Commute?

On Saturday, July 7th, I received news that my friend in Poland would no longer be attending the same school that I will be attending. Well, actually she didn't have time to confirm that because I was on my way out the door to work, so I cut the conversation short. However, I deduced some information from our very brief conversation that she'd be attending school in Warsaw and that she had found a new roommate.

Polish visa

I sent away for a Polish visa last week and I've already received my visa. I asked for a few extras and I'm surprised that it was really so simple. All I did was send them a $9 money order (visas are free to Americans so the $9 was to cover overnight UPS shipping), paper confirming I had been accepted into a university's program for foreigners to study Polish, the visa application, one 35mm by 45 mm passport photo (though, I gave them three since I figured they'd miss my beautiful face and want a few extra for themselves), and my passport.
