A Taste of Nature in Wroclow

04 March 2012
Second day in Wroclow was totally different than the first day. Honestly it was a little bit boring to visit Museums alone without any historical information. However, Pawel was busy and they were my only choices. Is it true to say there are always Must See places that you shouldn't miss them even if you don't like? In my opinion ... it is nonsense. :)

Anyway, it was amazing to go biking with Pawel into the nature around Wroclow. Although the Bicycle of Pawel's friend which was being ridden by me was not in a good condition at all ... but man! It was amazing to get to the nature of Poland for the very first time.

In cantrast with me which I was totally impressed by the atmosphere and I couldn't care about the details Pawel was concisely searching for the footsteps and the signs of animals. After some careful detections just look at here.

The second weekend in Poland turned into an interesting one by travelling by POLSKI bus! It is not an expensive option for travel while keeping an eye to its WIFI connection. It cost 30 zl from Warsaw to Wroclow and 35 zl for the return. However, I couldn't surf the web because I could not keep my eyes open enough.

A unique wooden Cafe glowing by small yellow lights on the roof and the smell of wet woods all around was a good reason to take out of the bus in a short stop. An atmosphere which had come out of the movies and cut the distance between reality and imagination. I never forget the sound of my steps on its wooden ground.

Although most of the cities in Poland were destroyed during the WWII Wroclow is among the topest. What makes this city different from the others is the fact that before WWII it was a german city- now Polish :) It is kind of a stolen city ar maybe a gift from germans to relieve the sufferings.

Still the smell of war is felt while walking through the streets. Silence in here tell stories from painful days and the tears are still shining in the moonlight. Partying, drinkings, and dancings do not hide the sense of sadness among these people.

Pawel is still travelling in Iran mentally since he has come back.

I made my day by eating an international regular breakfast (tea+bread+cheese+honey+chocolate) and began my way to the old city by crossing the river.

National Museum of Worclow


02 March 2012

ISIC card (international student card) discounted the ticket of National Museum by 50% and turned it to 5zl. Again, it felt pretty good to be student. The exterior design was much mysterious and captivating than the interior. Although it was boring to visit a meseum which I had no idea about its historical background didn't force me to pay for the English Guidance Book. The items themselves without their stories could stay me alive for two hours.

What is Love?

A state of mind, a method to observe, and a lifestyle in which one feels safe, calm, and blessed.

When we are in love :
         we never become angry,
         we never become unable to laugh,
         we never feel tired mentally,
         we never stop to progress,
         we never feel empty,
         we never feel jelousy,
         we never feel misery in lonliness
