I arrived home on Saturday's very wet and windy morning. I cried when I reached Liverpool, it was all over.
I started this blog in an attempt to maintain a diary of my time away and as a written hunt for the differences between England and Poland and the things that make Poland both an individual and a great country. I'm happy that I'll be able to look back on all the places I visited, all the things I did and for me most importantly all the quirky little things that I found along the way.
It's too hard to try and summarise my 'findings' from the last 9 months, sometimes being away was easy, sometimes it was hard, sometimes it was the best thing that I could have asked for and sometimes it sucked! I can't say that I wouldn't change anything, I still wish I'd got to drive that Maluch, but maybe next time!
For anybody thinking of visiting Poland, do it. I wrote about my opinions and my experiences but be sure to explore and create your own, it would be great to hear some of them. I know that my journey in Poland isn't over and I hope it never will be. Luckily my thoughts remain the same as when I started this blog - the people, the history, the architecture, the beer and the food are all worth visiting, thanks to those things for making the last 9 months of my life truly great ones.
Pa pa Polska, kocham cie!
I'm sad you're gone! and this post was genuinely moving - maybe I'll feel more appreciative of old Polska?
ReplyDeleteCome back soon!
I'm sad I'm gone! Thanks, I'll stay in touch with Poland via your blog, so be nice ;)
ReplyDeleteRuth, how about your students (mostly early teenagers as I saw in the "birthday photo"), any great farewell gifts? Any girl's stuff like "I'll write you a letter, for sure!" or boy's stuff like "You were spoko! Come back again in September!"? :)
ReplyDeleteI had a mixture of both adults and kids, and yes some lovely gifts including a handmade necklace, lots of flowers and chocolate. I like to think some of them were sad to see me go and I'm sure some of them were thrilled! I'm still waiting on a few emails, I'll visit in the future so may see a few around. I hate goodbyes!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time in Polska. I have learnt a lot about yur adopted city through your posts and also feel a great sadness for not having driven a Maluch (as yet). Greetings from Warsaw.
