Krakow, Poland "House-Life Holiday"

in #poland6 years ago

I've been here now for 4 weeks in Krakow Poland and its time to do a post!

I'm now staying the next 5 weeks in another place, which to be honest was a great semi decision to get two places instead of just the one for my stay here. The one now is 3 times bigger than the first one, and some much more spacious. Today feels like spring is approaching slowly as the sun was up even though it was minus 6 in the morning, but still a great day so far.

I can smoke in this place! 4 weeks having to smoke under the extractor fan from a cooker is quite annoying and not at all a way to smoke and relax. I even noticed I had become accustomed to that load hummin' noise..

The last place didn't even have a spatula to use with the tiny frying pan, and nor did the tiny pot have a lid hahahahaha.

Here is very well equipt in comparison.

The bigger apartment.. here the lounge, but it also has a bed behind the sofa..

Lots of windows and not surrounded by other apartments so there's a lot of light here!


I went to find dumpsters as I'm bored of having to pay for the food when I know how much is chucked out daily from supermarkets, and this morning I went on a bimble. Like an idiot though I didn't take the camera with me :( or my phone even for @actifit app - I have no internet on my phone here and got a reminder today that the data i paid for before coming here is about to run out, that was like 60 euros worth!.

I found dumpsters!! It must be trash collection day because there was so many boxes of bananas and miscellaneous fruits on top of the food bins, that I couldn't even bet bothered to move it all of and go through it all, it will be better to start from scratch and let then collect it.

I came home and then took the dogs out, we went on another bimble to look for the trash and fond the closest supermarket just a few minutes too late.. The back door was literally closing shut on the truck that takes all the green bins away to be recycled somehow.

RE FOOD means FREE FOOD!

People think its cool the idea of bio gas. I see it just as a new industry that happened to make more rich people rich and to also numify the masses to food waste (by making you believe recycling it, is a good cause and to distract you from wasting of the food firstly,) and to keep you and me consuming in slavery instead of everyone starting to go dumpsterdiving and putting a wake up bell onto the issue of mass food waste.

Imagine if the people somewhere in a town or something decided they had enough of eating cheap foods pumped with added sugars and never to be able to afford good foods and started to go out and recycling the trash.

If you see these bins round the back of the supermarket, then trust me, unless its just been collection day, they will be full up with food, and the amount of package we use today mean that the food is always good unless it was punctures on the packaging.

I found a Lidl also on satellite maps and can see they have a cage, the standard as most lidl's have in all country's, locking it up so that no one can take it or even see them days when the wheelie bins are overflowing with luxurious goods. I got some strong glue and will go visit the cage one nice and squeeze some glue into the keyhole and then go check it again in a couple of nights after. The glue cause's Lidl so much problems as they cant put any trash inside the cage and also they cant leave it (usually) in the shop out back, and so they need to get a new lock if they really want to protect the trash so badly.

Usually after 2 or 3 times of them not being able to get a key in the lock - they give up, and so the door stays open to get to recycle the waste from this disgusting society.


Here's a cool website to read that's where I took this picture above from.


I just cant keep on buying the food hahaahahha..

Today I cooked some traditional Polish food called Pieriogi, much like what they got in south Germany. They have a lot of mushrooms it seems in Poland, because many thing have mushrooms in the mix and I see a lot in the shops for sale.

I will go and enjoy a fat spliff in the bath, and maybe later write some more on my experience of Poland just from walking around so far.


Big love and abundance!

If you go to any shop and buy a Lyca mobile sim card for around £3 it comes with unlimited free minutes and texts to any other Lyca sim holder, and for £3 you get via top up around 1gb a month data, and 150 international minutes to most countries including the UK. :-)

I just been hunting online maps and found 5 different places to go look to get some free food! just heading of now actually :)

Dude, nice apartment! How are you looking for housing? How much does it cost to rent such an apartment?

its only temporay mate lol :) I can live like this for 3 months tops before i see it as pointless hahahahahaha

rent is cheap here man, a small appartment is say 200-300euro month if you dont use airbnb and speak some polish to find a local rent

I just used my vpn when i was in norway to make me be in holland, and so I got it quite cheap from airbnb.. Its alot cheaper per night than the hostel is in Oslo for a bunkbed in a shared room hahahhhahaha..

I can even feel here the smartmeter, could have been was though as they are in the corridor and on the oppersite wall.. but still.. fuck ever living like this man!

My head is feeling constantly stuffy the same as my first ever experience being in a place with one, and i'm happy i "have" to stay here only for 5 weeks lol.. but seriously constantly my head is feeling it.

It gets me annoyed to think that 42 million of these meters are already installed, and thats the least amount already, its much more across the world.

Im looking forward to getting out of this "lifestyle" very much!

I will most likely get a secondhand bicycle and go on a trip part with train and part with bike.. although I also need a guitar to make it worth the while, or ill be limited to money hahahahh
