About Poland


Now as I mentioned in my previous writing, I have never been to Poland before in my life, ever.
I flew 7905.1 km from South Korea by airplane for 15 hours, and I didn't even know any Polish. Yet I can say that it was one of the bet trips I had in my life. Perhaps the fact that I was travelling alone or that I was on a quest to find my love made the trip more exciting, but it was a great country to visit.

Lucky for me, I do not speak any Polish but most Polish people spoke English. It was impressive, because most Koreans are bad at English especially with their ridiculous accent. Anyways many Polish people spoke English pretty well, and thanks to that I was able to travel with no big problems!
However, what was even more impressive was that Polish people were so nice and willing to help a lost foreigner. I remember them as very kind people.

Also I loved the food there, especially Kotlet! It was very similar to Don Kass, a fried pork meat we enjoy in Korea. Every restaurant I went, they gave more than I could eat. My taste buds were very friendly with  Polish food, and at one point I even thought I should have been born here. When I visited Angie, my girl friend, to her house, her mom cooked us all kinds of Polish dishes, and the food just melted in my mouth they were really really good!
 

Another thing I really liked about Poland was the beautiful houses. It made me feel like I was in a place from a story of grim brothers. It was a beautiful sight and it brought joy to my eyes just by looking at the houses. Korean architects should really take notes, I mean look at this contrast!

There were so many things I loved about Poland, but what I loved the most was meeting with the love of my life, Angie. Time I spent with her, which I'll mention in another post, was the most beautiful days I've spent, and I wish that the next two years fly by so I can come back to her as soon as possible and live happily ever after!

Chapter 1: Love

I'm a Korean and I've traveled 7905.1 km to Poland to meet a girl I've never met before, who also took my first kiss. To make things more romantic, I took her first kiss too.
New blog, new post, new chapter, sweet! Now that I got your attention, let's get started!
On my latest adventure, I went to Poland, which I've never been to before, and where I had the time of my life.
I'm actually writing this blog because of a request of the same girl I went halfway around the world to meet for the first time, Angie, who is actually my girlfriend now.
So how did this wonderful craziness all begin? Well it all started with a message I got on interpals, awebsite which let's you meet with new pen pals and make new friends all over the world. Basically, it's like facebook but you can become pen pals with who you want.
To be honest, I already had plenty of friends around the world, since more than half of my life I've been travelling and living in different parts of the world. Here's an example of what I mean by that; places I've lived in Spain, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic for around 3~5 years each 1year in Pennsylvania and 2 months in Boston, and I've traveled to Italy, UK, France, Netherlands, China, New York, Switzerland, honestly, more than I can remember.
Anyways, I guess now that you have an idea of how much I've been on an airplane and suffered from jet leg, you should know that travelling 7905.1 km to meet a girl I first met as a pen pal wasn't such a crazy idea for me. Especially when I was already in love with this girl I haven't met.
So her name is Angie, and honestly, I can say that falling in love with her was the best thing that's ever happened to me. Yes it's cliche thing to say, but it is what it is and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
Although we started off just as pen pals, we quickly got interested in each other, and we liked each other very much. And the more we learned and shared about each other, the closer we got and the more we trusted each other. I loved everything about her. Her sweet and caring personality, gorgeous face, beautiful smile, cute aegyo, and laugh which I've become addicted with. We talked day and night, and I felt like I knew everything about her, but the only thing I was missing was actually meeting her in real life.
So I decided to go and meet Angie by going to Poland!
