Cheers Mate!

Not sure if anyone actually looks at or reads this blog but I'll keep on bloggin'.

I took four days off work to extend a weekend into 6 days away in Poland visiting my family. My mom's side of the family lives in a small town in south west Poland. I spent a few days at my grandmother's house with my cousin. We also visited my aunt and uncle as well. I've been to my grandmother's twice, once at age 9 and again at 15 so it pretty much felt like home to me.

I'm really happy that I have learned to speak, read and write in Polish because it is amazing knowing another language. I am definitely not perfect since I wasn't born in Poland but I can engage in conversations. Most young people in Poland know English anyways since it is a world language that will get you by in most countries in the world.

My last day in Poland my cousin took me to Wroclaw which is a city where she studies and lives. We searched for gnomes (an attraction in the city), went to dinner with her boyfriend and sat at a couple of bars in the evening.

I am glad I decided to take this trip. Not only is it cheap to fly around Europe from England but I also wasn't sure about the next time I would have the opportunity to visit my family.
