Poland Trip 2004 Day 0-4

  • Mood: Excited and Crazy
  • Listening to: Nothing
  • Eatting/Drinking: Shrek 2 M&Ms (we brought them from the US)
Hey guys! I finally got internet access! I'm at my cousins house right now. His parents are at work and we are just "chillin" I guess. I just woke up to my forth day in Poland. It's 10:05 AM here and 3:05 AM in the USA! LOL! N E WAYS....let me tell you about my trip. The plane ride was very scary. There was a lot of turbulance and I was really scared. The plane ride was about 9 hours long. The plane took off an hour later than it was supposed to. It had to taxi for that long, we were in line on the runway and we were like the 40th plane in line so we had to wait long. We got the 3 seats in the middle between the isle and my brother got one seat on the side that was not a window seat (he had to sit next to an old lady...LOL). My mom did not like that. She specifically ordered window seats and we did not even get one seat with a window. Oh wells. Across form us was a little kid (about 10 years old) and his grandpa. When we were waiting on the runway he kept picking his nose and putting his gum in his nose then back in his mouth, it was nasty, I had to look since he was seating next to a window and I was looking through it to check if the plane was about to take off. During the in-flight movie (which was 50 First Dates) I was smiling and holding in my laugh (since it was time for people to sleep). My mom and Jesse were laughing and I wasn't. A lady in front of us (whom I felt sorry for earlier for being by herself) yelled at me. She is like "some people are trying to sleep, be quiet." I was so mad at her. See Poland is a lot different than America. People are different here. You can't smile at someone walking down a street and expect them to smile back. Everyone is really rude. I guess that living living in a country that is not free gets you that way. When we got here, we went to my grandfather's house where we will be staying for the whole trip. We had the usual welcome dinner as always. I got to see a lot of my family that is down here. My uncle, he is so awesome, he's so hilarious, no matter the situation he will make you laugh. His wife (my aunt) is really nice. She is very thoughtful and caring. Then there are my three cousins: Martinca, Silvia, and Mateuz (Matt). They can all speak a little English. My aunt and uncle can speak a lot of Polish, Silvia (the oldest of my cousins) can speak a lot too. After the dinner I went to sleep. I didn't get any sleep on the plane so I was really tired. The next morning I learned that one of our extention cords exploded and the power to my grandpa's apartment went out. I always have to miss all the good stuff. The power outlets are different in Europe than America. We tried plugging it in and putting the adaptor on but it overloaded the power outlet and yea...it exploded. Thank goodness that my brother's and Jesse's lab tops did not get messed up or fried. They were charging at the time. We had breakfast (leftovers from the welcome dinner) and then we unpacked our suitcases and put everything in 2 closets. Since it was Sunday in Poland, I went to church with my grandpa (which is all new since the last time I visited). After church, my grandpa went to vote for I forget what. I got to go with him. After he voted, we went on a walk around town (I was in dressy clothes from church). They used to have a farm-like place here where people could rent out little farms. They destroyed everything and built a huge park with a road for walking/bike riding/running. It looks really nice. On Day 2, my cousins and aunt and uncle went with my family on a long walk to the park and around other places. We stopped by the beach too. Martinca, Silvia, and I had a ball we were tossing around and that we were trying to keep away from my cousin Matt. It was fun. Until we lost the ball in a bush and could not find it. Oh wells. Silvia is really funny. She talks English and she always says "Of course" and when someone else says that then she says "that's my text" LOL. She can speak good English. We also went to the pier. That was a lot of fun. We got ice cream on the way back too. Day 3- we went grocery shopping and I played the Sims on Jesse's lab top all day. It was fun. My two cousins, Silvia and Martinca went on a trip for school so they will be away for a few days. Matt and I played the Sims for a little bit then we went to my uncles house where I am sleeping over with Matt right now. It is bunches of fun up in hurr, we are just walking around outside and playing with his dog, Pluto. His dog is very funny. HAHA. It is very smart too. I will post a picture here soon. It's the beginning of Day 4 now, we just woke up. I have to go now cuz we are going to get Strawberries. My cousin, Matt says "Hi." I'll try to post another entry before I go back to my grandfather's house later today. Wow it is so great to finally talk English. LOL. Buh Bye!

Hi, Matt!

I hope your mom and dad have a great sense of humor. If they don't, they're really missing out, cuz'... you're a riot!

Glad I found your journal. I had a lot of fun reading your post about your vacation to Poland and your visit with your family. Sounds like you're having a pretty good time.. (except for the rude people). But, hey... you know what... you just go ahead and smile and say hello to all of 'em, anyways! Give 'em a thought they won't ever forget... "that day that boy from America walked by me and said hello, smiling at me." Some day, they'll think back and wish they could talk to you more!

Even if you don't get a chance to post another update, I hope the rest of your vacation is a lot of fun!

I'm gonna add you to my friends list so I can keep up with you! Maybe you can help me learn more about Poland. And tell your Mom... she can raise a stink about not getting the seats she asked for with the Airlines you used for flying over there. A lot of times, they'll give their customers some coupons or special compensation for the mistake. How do I know? Well, I worked for Continental ExpressJet, Inc. until March, 2003. And my husband still works for the company. He's a supervisor over the mechanics who do the c-checks on the planes in the hangar, here in Knoxville, Tennessee. And tell your mom... if you don't get the seats you ask for on your way home... throw a fit! You'll probably get more special freebies!

Uh-oh... gotta go. My hubby's gonna try messing with me to get me off the computer again. He's always doing that "Whaaaaaaaa" thingy on that commercial with the lady dentist who got her identity stolen.

Cya later!
