Warsaw I
After almost hitting a number of deadlines at work,
my body decided to hit the exhaustion button. So I needed
a break outside Glasgow. Whizz air fly from Prestwick airport to
Warsaw, so since I have never been to Poland, here I am.
I had to do some chores in Glasgow before I left. I walking behind
some guy who was casually throwing up all over the street. This was at
10:00 in the morning. What worried me the most was that his puke
looked green and purple, like some cough or methadone medicine. He was
not bothering anyone, but was walking in the same direction as
me. Anyway he got on a bus going to the city center. I didn't view
this as a good omen for the start of a holiday, where the temptation
of Polish vodka will be ever present.
I the went for a hair cut. The woman who was cutting my hair was
complaining a little bit about her boyfriend who had fallen off
his motor bike for the fifth time. As I am the kind of person who can
fall over in the street and hurt themselves just walking about,
I doubted that I would be much of an improvement (apart from
not having to pay for the bike repairs). I am not good around
happy people. She was telling me about a holiday in Paris. I have been
to Paris for a conference, but I was depressed on my day off,
because of what had happened at the conference. I decided that this
wasn't going to help the faltering conversation along.
Anyway I got to the airport with no problems, and I ended up in Warsaw.
