The Beautiful City of Rzeszów

Image
It's been almost 2 weeks since I came here and I finally start work tomorrow - teaching English in a school for about 2 hours everyday, except the weekend and Mondays! So far it's been great. Me and my new friend/roommate have gone and seen all the main attractions already and taken a few lazy all-day-indoors days. We did a lot of touristy stuff like going to the Underground Cellars, taking pictures with a huge monument in the city centre, and walking around Market Square, exploring the little cafes and seeing the incredible churches. Finally got to try pierogi ! It was so good, and also cooked (by which I mean watched roommate cook and cut up some sausages as neatly as one can dare I say) once in the common kitchen we have on every dorm floor. Avoided being run into by quite a few bikers thanks to my smooth as fuck swerving skills. Crossed the road like the savage Indian I am and gave the poor girl a fright. Walked around lots. Talked about how big and beautiful the moon is

Never thought the day would come so soon! But here I'm sitting in my dorm room using my Filipino roommate's MacBook in the middle of Rzeszow, Poland! WHAAT Finally getting to use a laptop after days! So exciting :D This is all so surreal! I got here on Wednesday and have been living alone till now, walking around the city, stocking up my mini fridge and chilling in this room with such a beautiful view. POLISH KIWIS (that look like balls) (oh no why did I think that who will eat it now) I had such a long trip to here. Almost 24 hours! - Doha, so lovely from high up above Snow capped mountains!!! Landing in Warsaw xD  I had to take the bus from Warsaw to Rzeszow, so I barely got to see much of Warsaw, just my short bus ride to the bus station. And then I bought a pina colada flavoured chocolate and the best Lays I have ever had for my dinner on the bus. My room - Look how girly the curtains are! And the view from my room. There

First Solo Travel Adventure!

I just got back home from my 2 day trip to Delhi and Vrindavan and I am bone tired but I have so much I want to share! It was so much fun, and so many firsts, and it felt so natural to be alone and travelling. I made a new friend who said something like, "you seem to have globetrotting in your blood!" I am no Samantha Brown but I've decided I will blog about every STA I will have. It's written in the stars, that I will have lots of STAs! (so glad A looks so different from D) (also not written, imma make them happen bitches) So Tuesday night I was so restless I couldn't sleep, slept barely an hour before it was time to leave for the airport at 4:30. I purposely booked the early morning flight because I wanted to see the sky transition from pitch dark with the crescent moon to dawn and full blown sunlight and also because I needed to have enough time to spend with one of my oldest friends who invited me to come stay with her in Vrindavan before my interview in

The Incurable Diarrhea of the Mind

If you could see someone and see their ghosts when you looked into their eyes The haunting ghosts of a time long since passed, seen in their gait, in their smile, in the way they pause sometimes when they're talking. If in dreams you could remember how you felt exactly at some point in your life So when you would wake up the world looks unfamiliar, cold, unfriendly enough to make you wish you could go back to that dream So you conclude that nothing is ever irrecoverable as long as it lived and breathed at some point and you knew it. Even if your knowledge of it differed from what it really was. But you knew it and now you can't forget it, and so it will live on, if not in reality, in your head. And reality is that; what you choose and what is allowed to exist. What you've lent enough importance to, so it looms large, however irrelevant it really is. And most times your reality and reality are strangers who act like friends when they meet, but when they part ways they
