wednesday wishes on a thursday
My Shakespeare exam is tonight, which meant last night was spent studying hardcore rather than wishing away. But now that it's the day of the exam, I find myself daydreaming more and more about traveling away -- strange how that works!
Going to Europe is more of a dream than a reality at the moment, and so many things are uncertain. But because of that, I try to remember Lucio from Measure for Measure (see, I am studying Shakespeare! Ha-ha!) who says:
And make us lose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt.
Wise words Lucio, wise words. So, I'm traveling back to yesteryear to remember a city I want to go to again: Gdansk, Poland. It's located at the northern-point of Poland, right at the Baltic Sea. It's an amazing city with so much to offer (since it has three cities in one!) -- want to go there with me?
Next time, I want to be barefoot in the Baltic Sea.
I want to pose in this exact same spot like last May, except this time with The Boy standing right next to me.
I definitely want to revisit this amazing restaurant that specializes in different kinds of baked potatoes -- it looks like a flower and came with authentic Coke-in-a-glass-bottle, which is my favourite.
Don't really want to repeat having creepy blonde-hair men stare at me as I browse through amber necklaces. MEEP!
But I would love to see The Street of Artists once again -- a narrow street with buildings dedicated to various arts.
And then I'd just go crazy!
Alas, I have to go back to studying. But that was a nice break, a nice look back, and hopefully, it'll be something I get to do again! My normal posting will happen by tomorrow, since I'll be FREE AT LAST! :) So sad that my true summer vacation doesn't start 'til the second week of August, but I'll try to make the most of it. 'Til then, my head is in Shakespeare.

Good luck on your exam!!! I hope everything goes well. Great quote, by the way. :)
I would looove to go to Poland, but I am not sure I have a specific city in mind. It was one place I wanted to go, but never got around to seeing, while I was living in Scotland. Such a shame! Hopefully I'll make it there sooner than later. Or I'll just live vicariously through you if you make it before I do. :)
Ooh, the next time you go, can you take me along with you? This looks like the most wondrous place on earth!
By the way, good luck on your exam! I know you'll ace it! :)
Aww what great photos! =)
Aww I love these photos too much pretty girl! You look so cool and happy lol :):)

I love that quote, it's very inspiring! Good luck on your exam. And Poland seems amazing from your photos :]
Ahaha, I love your photos! Especially the last one! :P and the exact same photo idea, that's romantic! x)
I want to travel to Europe too... argh, why is it so far from here? :S
and this comment ended with me wishing you a very good luck for your exam :D
First off, good luck on your exams! Heck, you will ace it I know!
And hey, I love baked potatoes more than anything made of potatoes. Hehe. I gotta go to that place. I don't think there's anything like it here.
Awesome photos, Nikolett! :)
I never really knew what's in Poland before until I see this post, now I wanna go! I've never been to northern or eastern europe and would loveee to give it a try.:)
Loved this post. :) The picture on the steps is beautiful. And I'm with you on the no creepy blonde man in your future visit! Ah, he's intense looking, lol.
I've never really thought about Poland as a vacation destination..but after seeing these pictures, it does look gorgeous. Though how do you even pronounce Gdansk? Heh, silent G I'm guessing? :P
i'm with you...i would love to go to europe. i've been trying to convince the boy but he's not so into it. what a nut!
I've never been there, but it looks lovely!
hmmm... this is the first time I see pics from you... and I always thought you were a blonde! can't explain why... maybe I'm confusing you with someone else! hahaha
Have a great weekend!
*loves*
ahahaha oh niks!! everyone thinks you`re asian... or blonde. lol
love the pictures
and i will most definitely be coming with you.please email me the details thankyouverymuch ahahah xx
you are too cute!! and poland looks so lovely, im am beyond lusting over going to europe someday soon (so much money i dont have...sigh). and that baked potato is to die for!! look at that massive pile of goodness, and with the tastiest coke ever as well (my boyf always craves the ones in the glass bottles most, too).
have a good start to your week lady! :)
haha that is exactly my situation with school! I get "3 weeks" to do nothing for end of august then back to classes for fall!
Psst, I have something sunsational for you at my blog. :)
@ Kym: Yay, come with me! And seriously, I cannot WAIT to go back to that baked potato place. I wish I could preserve it so I could send it to you :D
@ New England Girl: Thanks so much, I think I aced it! Scotland is definitely on my list of places to visit, so we can live vicariously through each other!
@ Erika: Aww, definitely :D Haha. It seriously is an amazing place, though a bit cooler because of the sea!
@ steph: Thanks! My great uncle took a majority of them, he's a great photographer :)
@ Girl With The Golden Touch: *blush* Thank you!!
@ Liang: Definitely inspiring; so many of his quotes are, it's amazing.
@ Little Miss Tiara: You are adorable :) Thanks for the luck, and gah I so agree ... why does it have to be so far away?! I'd visit it all the time if it were closer haha.
@ Jessica: Thank you so much ... and mm, I love mashed potatoes, but baked potatoes come in a really close second!
@ Andhari: Ah, Poland is one of those countries that kind of lays low on the 'tourist trail' but it is amazing. I would love to explore western Europe someday, but for now, eastern Europe is where it's at for me!
@ Archana: Yay, thank for that lovely gift! And whoo-hoo for you liking Poland! Gdansk is a bit hard to pronounce .. the G is there, it's like Guh-dayn-sssk ... have no clue if that helped, haha :) I think outside of Poland, it's pronounce 'Guh-dansk'.
@ bananas.: Whaa? Why not? There's so many beautiful places in Europe to roam. I hope you manage to change his mind!
@ Toothfairynotes: Haha, I've never been confused with a blonde before, that's cute :) I've considered trying blonde out, but I think brunette is for me. Hope you had a great weekend, too!
@ sarah: LOL I know, eh? And I shall definitely e-mail you details ... and I'll be sending your package this week!
@ josie(bean): Thank youuu! And ahh, me and your boyfriend share a great thing in common haha. I can't wait to eat another one of those baked potatoes, fo real. Hope you had a great start to your week, too! *HUGS*
@ Addict: Ah, it's a hard situation, eh? It's like, YAY FREEDOM but ... we've been so used to doing things that it's hard to get used to vacation! But I love it :)
