Yes, my friends, it is time to become patriotic and describe my time in Polakland. I have been here for about one week, and I have been restless since day 2 since I am used to moving along every day. Adam got to Warsaw on Saturday afternoon, and it has been a party ever since. He eased up the line of questioning from me to him, since my grandparents like to talk (while I am not used to it all the time). Him and I went out "na Starowke pod parasole" (to the old city to sit under the umbrellas of patios), and have been doing that every night since then.
We got a chance to chill with our little cousin, who is not so little anymore. Ewa is an adult, and an hot one at that!! I feel proud to have a model in the family, while Adam feels the need to protect her from all those aggressors in downtown Warsaw. She is really turning into a chick with attitude, and I love that we can finally chill with a family member our age.
We also met with Piotrek, our uncle, and our new little cousin, who is also not so little - an adorable, joy-for-life kind of child who made me realize that I actually AM capable of loving kids. He has the biggest, bluest eyes I've ever seen and I'm sure will be a heartbreaker in a few years.
My blog title is a result of the constant battle I have with my grandparents, and most people in Poland. Because there was always a lack of food, they eat every meal as if it were their last, and base their whole respect system on whether or not you eat enough of someone's meal. I, as a girl and also as someone who just doesn't eat that much (relatively), am suffering! But once I learned how to adapt, it all worked out.
Today, Zakopane - which will require a longer explanation later.
P.S. Adam says hi to everyone!
