After travelling in Poland and Ukraine for 3.5 weeks, I got back home last evening, and started work this morning at 2:30am.
I had many interesting experiences, some particularly memorable ones include:
- visiting many Catholic and Orthodox churches with richly decorated interiors
- walking in Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and trying to imagine the horror that took place
- attending a medieval fair and ate bread with melted pig fat
- 2 days later, I was melting pig fat myself
- buying train ticket in Ukraine, not speaking the language, being yelled at by the ticket lady and people behind me
- walking in the open markets in Ukraine, and was reminded of Africa
This trip was not all smooth and easy. There were quite a few challenges and tense moments, especially in Ukraine. However, I did have an adventure, and got to explore an unique part of the world.
I will post more pictures and write more about the trip in the near future.
