I made it!

I'm here in Poland. I made it safe and sound. I was so stressed on my plane ride from OKC to Chi-town, but once I got to terminal 5 for my international flight everything was fine. I had absolutely no stress. I wasn't worried about anything. I was on a 747 from Chicago to Warszawa. There were like 8 seats in "first class." Then normal coach and the second cabin. If anybody's ever played commercial crazies you remember the commercial with the illegals and goats and chickens behind the curtain, that's where I was. There was an in flight movie but my cabin didn't get to watch it. We had a screen and the LCD projector worked but we didn't get a movie. O well I'm halfway thru Catcher in the Rye. It's ok. I know it's great american literature and that's why I bought it but it's not holding my attention. Jake, if you haven't read it , you will like it. I'm sure I will like Emma better.
Customs in Warszawa was a breeze. I just had to show my passport and my tickets and I was good. I probably missed a step somewhere and am visiting illegally. O well. I got my bag and went thru the doors and didn't see Verno. So I kept walking and then I saw her and Damian. Damian is frickin tall. Verno wasn't lyin when she said there were tall people in Poland. She really the only short one. I felt short. We went to her flat to put my stuff up and get the presents for her family out and stuff. We stopped by the bowling alley to see her dad he had a tournament and couldn't eat dinner with us. The first english I heard besides talking to veronika was clear as glass "Fuck you." Bogdan's friend Martin told another friend as he was getting up to bowl. A lot of people know english but are afraid to speak it. Then we went and had dinner with her mom and sister. Her mom is a mom. Always saying eat eat take this food with you. Her english was very good. Everyone understands what I say ( if I don't use slang terms) and I'm understanding a little bit of what they say but only in context. I will hear a word or two that I know and can piece together what think they are saying. Verno will translate and I'm not too far off. After dinner we went back to her flat and got ready. For being on a plane and in airports for about 16 hours total, I wasn't tired. I am still on Oklahoma time. I slept til 1 pm today which is 5 am there. I'm trying to get my clock set, but Verno has me partying til 4:30 in the morning here 8pm there. There's a bit of difference in the time. I gotta get used to it. Her friend Bartek came over and went with us. We went to get Damian and Farmer. Farmer's name is Lucas or something like it. But they call him Farmer cause he's chunky. He's not chunky. So we went into Katowice and were going to go to this disco called Scandel. It's next to the SEXX Shop. But it was closed. So we went to another one. Downstairs was the techno. It cracked me up. Right now the really big music is a bunch of 80's pop that's been mixed into techno. The FlashDance song was teched out. I couldn't dance. I don't know how to dance to techno anyway, but I was just laughing so hard. Everyone went crazy over the song like it was the next big thing. Upstairs, where we stayed most of the time, was hip hop and stuff I knew. Older stuff tho. They love Michael Jackson. Billie Jean, Beat It, and one more but I forget were all played. There were some Polish songs that I knew cause of Verno all her friends were impressed when I sang along. I don't know what I was singing.
Right now Verno has students and I'm playing on the computer. Some are actually speaking english; it's fun. These girls right now are 8 or so. So cute.

Well I can't talk anymore right now. I'm helping talk english with them. I will write more as the summer progresses.
