La mayoría de las personas parece creer que sólo hay una vida y un camino, que su mundo es el unico y que hay tan sólo una realidad.
When I am in Mexico, it is as if there was no winter, no Europe, no Tex-Mex food, no world without flan & churros and hand-made tortillas; it is like I was no güera or gringuita, as if my heart was morenito like cocoa grains or Oreo cookies.

I am (was?) considering “selling” myself to Brussels, and getting one of these really boring jobs in translating for the EU, so that every single sheet (shit?) of their documentation could be read in multiple languages, Maltese and Catalan included.
With this money, podría comprarme una casita de colores en Coatepec o por acá en la costa, abrir una escuela de polaco o un bar y viviría feliz ever after.

cuando estando en Polonia busco vestigios de México, y estando en México- trocitos de Europa. En Varsovia se puede conseguir margarita de fresas y “crepas de cajeta” que llevan chocolate, quesadillas que cuestan 10 veces más que acá, y burritos con salsa tricolor. En México ando en busca de “lo civilizado”, música en inglés y nieve en algunos pueblitos perdidos.
During this, already forth, stay here I am having the possibility to get to know different Mexico and a different self, that I had known before. First, the circumstances forced me to abandon my plans, visions, ideas, and later on I have started to open up step by step. Perhaps at this point of my life I’m not still really sure of “what to do about life”, but at least I am able to see (I am learning to see) that perhaps there are far more possibilities, paths and choices that can be made than I have always thought.

En mi primera Navidad fuera de Polonia y mi casa les deseo a todos esperanza, fuerza y alegría.
La vida es una lucha contra la desesperación, pero es mejor ser rebelde y perder que rendirse.

In my first Christmas far from Poland and my family I wish all of you hope, strength and joy.
Life’s about fighting with despair, but I’d rather be a rebel and lose than just give up.

This morning my mom asked me timidly when I was going to come back to Poland. My resolute answer was: When the snows in Poland melt for good...
I have just come out of the water. It's not really hot but perhaps hotter than normally in July at the Baltic Sea (and let me remind you it's almost mid-November!). I have devoured 8 empanadas de queso (Mexican dumplings) (well, I have shared them with some stray dogs), platano frito con crema, piña colada (but it is also possible to order Blody Merry or Ginan Tonic;-)) and cafe de olla (Mexican coffee). I have spent some time playing with waves and reading juvenile Mexican poetry.
Could one possibly ask for more?
