Laundry Day

Finally did laundry.  I stuffed all my clothes needing to be washed (all but 1 pair of boxers and 3 pairs of socks) into my backpack and went to my friends place who has a washing machine.  It is only a washing machine.  I was intrigued that the washing machine is kind of a dryer type of action but with soap.  It just tumbles one direction and then tumbles the other after a few seconds.  I believe the washing machines here are not really supposed to 'clean' the clothes, but make them smell better.  After they were tumbled 'clean' I had to stuff them back into my backpack wet and take them home in the taxi with me.  Of course the 1 drier for the bottom two floors was occupied so I found some spots around the room and bathroom to hang them.  Hopefully they dry...

Here are my clothes hanging on this heater we have in the bathroom.  Tonight for dinner I decided to get some McDonalds.  I wanted to try it here because I heard it was better than in the states.  It was typical McDonalds.  

One thing I noticed is that everyone is Poland in great shape.  From you children to mothers with 2 kids, they all are fit.  It is really amazing.  While in McDonalds, I saw the most overweight people since I've been here and they were all in one place!  I mean they weren't obese, but definitely as a whole slightly overweight.  Look what McDonalds is doing to us!  

Today I had classes as usual and decided to take a photo of the Dental Building.  They have a huge clinic in it and an orthodontist museum.  The building actually won an award for its design.  

 Wow Mr. Sun is out!!!

Czesc!

It is very modern.  Sometimes during class, a message pops up on the projector (from the projector and not the computer feed) saying in Polish that the amount of oxygen in the room has decreased and to open up the doors.  The message literally blocks almost the whole screen so the professor opens up the door and O2 floods in and before long the message disappears until the concentration decreases.  Here is a photograph from one of the lecture rooms.  Can you see one of the messages on the back of the chair?  Answer will be at the end of this post. 

Between classes I went to the P i P with a friend who needed to get more minutes for his phone.  It's actually quite cool, you tell them you want 50 or however many zloty and they print out a receipt with a number and code on it.  You simply call, put the code in, and you have more minutes.  During this visit I saw a music legend who is hiding out in Poland.

Jerry Garcia!!!  Most thought he was dead but who knew he was relaxing in this lovely country!  Can't blame him.

Time to study more and maybe take some breaks to blow on my clothes to get them to dry quicker.  More class tomorrow.  

David Haselhoff rulz!
