Happy Easter...

Gdansk, Poland

Such a happening weekend, food and drinks and eggs aplenty, and yeah, ive had my fair share of attending Polish mass in different churches...albeit not understanding a word the priest had to say, i really did enjoy the presentation, and being in the temple of God, all the understandings that you ever need is between you and God...enough said.

so i met up with Marek in Sopot and was welcomed into his household. Brilliant God-loving family, i had one of the best Easter in my life, not only experiencing Polish Easter and rituals, but also first rate polish hospitality.

Just got back from the village of Prabuty in the countryside, and cant stop thinking of the warmth and love that was shown to me. I've always been deprived of grandparents, and was totally spoilt to bits earlier by Marek's. Being seated conveniently between grandma and grandpa, my plate was constantly kept full with food by grandma on my right hand side and my shooter glass with polish vodka by grandpa on my left hand side, they really did adore me!

there were also water fight (they throw water at each other on Easter Monday, yeah even when it's freezing ) and egg fight with the cousins, talk about Easter fun!

We will be heading to Lodz tomorrow where Marek studies and will meet up with Rafa for some reunion, and drinking is definitely in order.

I'm loving Poland!
