Pentru cei care stiti romana, cititi versiunea in romana... Aici departe de casa stiu sa-mi exprim mai sincer parca trairile in romana. E ciudat ca aici simt ca in engleza nu sunt decat traduse, pentru ca atunci cand simt, simt romaneste. Asa ca o sa incerc sa si traduc mai jos pentru cei care nu cunosc al nostru "grai mioritic".
Sunt deja de 2 zile in Olsztyn si pot sa scriu primele impresii, "la cald", inainte sa incep sa gasesc toate explicatiile si detaliile. De fapt ce e mai jos a fost scris ca un mail pentru ai mei parinti, a doua zi dupa ce am ajuns asa ca e foarte la cald.
Am ajuns bine dupa ce am asteptat bagajele juma de ora in aeroport, i-au pierdut bagajul unei fete (m-am descurcat sa-l gasesc:)), am luat trenul, care a facut un accident pe drum si a avut o intarziere de o ora.
Ne-au asteptat in aeroport si si la gara si tipa din Olsztyn a venit cu tatal ei si ne-a luat cu masina pana la casa unde stam. Este o casa cu gradina, o vila as putea spune. Si ce credeti voi? E roz:)) Au multe flori in gradina dar si niste ceapa si morcovi.
Fetele ne-au asteptat cu mici cadouri, ne cumparasera paine, pateu, zahar si alte chestii care se gandeau ca ne-ar trebui macar pentru seara aia.
De dimineata am mers la serviciu unde ne-a intampinat directoarea: o tipa la 50 si ceva de ani care nu vb f bine engleza dar e tare draguta si pare genul de femeie foarte hotarata. Restul sunt toti tineri asa ca stiu engleza si le-a facut mare placere sa stea la taclale cu noi. Ne-au dat cafea, ceai, ne-au dus sa mancam, ne-au luat cu ei in oras sa plateasca niste chestii la banca si ne-au plimbat. La intoarcere vroiam sa facem si noi ceva util si ne-au zis ca nu e cazul, ca e prima zi si trebuie sa nu ne stresam de acum.
Sunt foarte caldurosi si cei de la serviciu si cei din AIESEC dar nu pot spune acelasi lucru despre toti. In tren daca intrebam "Sorry! Do you speak English?", raspundeau ca nu si intorceau repede capul sa fie siguri ca nu mai deranjez. Am fost putin surprinsa dar or fi avut ei vreun motiv.
Cam atat deocamdata din orasul cu multe lacuri
I’ve been in Olsztyn for 2 days now and I’m ready to write my fisrt impressions, before I find out all the explanations and details. Actually, these rows were written in a mail for my parents the first day after I got here so they were very fresh.
I got here ok, after waiting for half an jour in the airport in Warsaw for our lugguage. Roxana’s baggage was lost but I managed to go and ask for it and finally we found it. The train for warsaw to Olsztyn had an accident somewhere on the way so it had one hour delay.
There were people waiting for us both in the airport and at the train station. The girl from Olsztyn came with her father by car to pick us up and they drove us to our flat.
All three of us (Andreea, Lia and me) live in a rented room in a big house with flower garden, in a beautiful neighbourhood. And guess what! The haouse it’s all pink on the outside! They also have some vegetables in the back yard.
The 2 girls from AIESEC welcomed us with some presents (@ strings and T-shirts) and some bread, paszta, sugar, tea and other things they thought we might need until we have the time to go shopping.
In the first morning we went to work. There was the organization’s president that was waiting for us with a warm smile: a nice lady in her 50’s, that doesn’t talk a very rich english but very opened and seems that kind of strong woman. The rest of the employees are young and they speak english well enough so they enjoyed very much to talk to us. They served us with coffee, tea, cookies, than took us to the little restaurant inside the bulding (my frist time eating sausages and potateos soup – interesting and tasty all together). They’ve also showed us the city while going to pay something in an bank office and the post office. When coming back to the office we asked for something to do in order to stop feeling useless around here. They told us is our first day so we have to stay calm, drink coffee and just chat with them.:))
The people at work and the ones from AIESEC are all very warm and always opened to help us. I can’t generalize though. In the train i looked for somebody to help us with some information and when I asked “Sorry! Do you speak English?”, they said a very short and cold “NO!” and just turned his/her head, making sure I don’t bother anymore. I was a bit shocked but I gues they would have had their reasons for that so I can’t blame them.
That’s it for now from the lakes city
