The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

It's been 4 months since I started a job that I like and that makes me learn new things everyday. There are guests coming and going everyday - some of them are nice, give us cakes, smile to us everytime they pass by and there are those who try to get more that they are supposed to, who wouldn't smile back no matter what you do and who just want to shout at someone. Talking with the nice guests is fun, but it's those irrate guests that teach me more. I feel quite stressed about dealing with angry guests, I believe with experience I will learn how to deal with them properly.

But for now I'm counting days to my holidays. In exactly one month I will be in Malta, burning myself in the sun and drinking sweet, red wine. I'm travelling alone, but meeting some people there. It's not gonna be the first time I'm travelling alone, so I don't feel weird about it, I'm just soooo looking forward to it. I bought new bikini, new flip-flops, Malta guide book is ready, everything is ready to go. Just that I still have one month to go.......! I want the time to go by faster this month!

Malta, wait for me!!!!!!!

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

It's been a while since I wrote a post that I usually commit here, not a good-food-post or an advertisement of a chain bakery, but just my own style not informative at all type of post. So here it is. I just want to write about my last month, which I spent mostly at work. It was quite intense, so intense that I had to give up quite a few events, and which was also a reason a few people got mad at me, cause I'm always busy. High schools friends say that I'm mean because I don't want to preserve our friendship and it's sad. Because I can't give up work, which gives me this satisfaction! Because it does. I love it, because I am learning everyday. And not only me, but every worker in the hotel needs to go through trainings from time to time. It's like at school, you have to learn and pass a test later on. That being said, tomorrow I have a 'basic revenue management' training, which name was quite vague for me until I decided to consult it with wikipedia. Thanks Ms. Wikipedia, you were a huge help!!!

And when I'm not working or sleeping dead after work, I go to trainings and prepare for the next performance. Meeting Japan's prime minister's wife wasn't quite as I imagined it. She was very nice, and taller than I though she would be, she took a photo with us, but when I expected that the so-called "dinner with Mrs. Abe" will be a real dinner with Mrs. Abe - sharing the same table and chatting happily, it turned out that she is too much of a VVIP person to share a meal with a common people like us. She left with all the important people - Manggha Museum's director (who was rude enough to come late and make a ruckus during our performance - damn her), our Japanese studie's Main Professor (he's my idol, seriously <3 ) and some embassy people and ate with them, while we were given some buffet food, a duck and potatoes.

It was quite yummy.

But I was quite dissapointed.
This time we will dance in the same museum with one only difference, we can invite some people we know. We only got 10 invitations per whole dance group, but suprisingly my friends turned out to be quite interested in attending. The dance I'm practising is not really something one would be crazy about, but it's fun for me. I really hope that the people that comes won't be too bored and dissapointed!

Kraków - spot no 2

On a unexpected date with Ellen, who was shopping in Bonarka City Center we went to eat some cakes in a small stall inside the mall and I even took photos of the desserts we tried.

1. Czarny las
The one that Ellen ordered. That's a must-try for people who like chocolate, because it was intensively chocolatish. The white cream was awesome too.



2. Macadamia cake
...is what I chose. A creamy cake with macadamia nuts. It was quite sweet, very very very sweet, so if you prefer something less sweet, but more fruity, go back to my first post about cakes from Krakow ^^

The cake... and someone's sneakers in the background.


And I have another thing I want to add. I went to the Buczek Bakery again and I tried truffle muffin. It was sweet and tasty, but a bit dry. But it matched cappuccino just fine!



Oh, and let me add a cake I tried in our hotel's restaurant! I don't have a clue what kind of cake that was. It had a light milky cream on shortbread and a strawberry on top. Delicious! (And free~~!)


Well, enough cakes for now!
