Przeprowadziłam się do Gdańska na początku października. Wiem, że w moim życiu to chyba jeden z tych przełomowych momentów - dlatego, że wiem że to właśnie ten okres gdy podjęłam decyzję, że wyprowadzam się z domu na stałe. Kocham moje rodzinne miasto - i nie wiem dokąd poniesie mnie życie - ale wiem, że ten okres mieszkania w domu rodzinnym mam już za sobą. Życie ogólnie w polsce wydaje mi się tym z czym chciałabym łączyć przyszłość - przynajmniej na jakiś czas - czuję się tutaj jak u siebie a charakter Słowian jest mi bliski i czuję się tu dobrze. Oczywiście nie mogłabym i nie chciałabym zamknąć się tylko w polsce i polskości, kocham odkrywać inne kultury, tradycje - dlatego nie wykluczam w przyszłości przeprowadzki na pewien czas w zupełnie inne miejsce. Mimo wszystko gdy myślę o swojej przyszłości - wiąże ją raczej głównie z byciem w polsce. Ale to później - teraz mam jeszcze sezon odkrywania. Zresztą ciężko jest coś planować - przecież tak właściwie nie mogę być pewna tego co wydarzy się jutro.

Je pense que je garderai un très bon souvenir de mon séjour en Pologne. J’y ai rencontré des personnes intéressantes ainsi que de très bons amis. La ville de Gdansk en elle-même est très particulière, elle semble en reconstruction permanente : en effet, partout, où que j’aille je vois des lieux en travaux, on refait la chaussée ou on repeint des surfaces. J’ai aussi une forte impression d’habiter un décor de théâtre, cet étrange ressenti est le plus fort à Gdansk mais je l’ai aussi remarqué dans d’autres villes de Pologne comme Lublin. Ce pays étant plus à l’est et au nord comparé à la France, il y fait nettement plus frais. Après près de neuf mois passés ici, je peux aisément constater la différence de perception du froid qu’il y a entre moi et les natifs. En France, on dit parfois que « le fond de l’air est frais » et j’ai enfin pu prendre la mesure de ce cela voulait dire. Il est relativement fréquent de devoir m’habiller d’un ou plusieurs pullover et de croiser des femmes en jupe et t-shirt. C’est toujours quelque chose auquel j’ai du mal à m’habituer. En arrivant ici, je ne saurais expliquer pourquoi mais je croyais profondément que les polonais étaient très à l’aise en anglais. Quelle ne fut pas ma surprise de constater qu’il n’en était rien. J’ai l’impression que nos nations partagent ce rapport à l’anglais. On dit beaucoup que le niveau en langues est très mauvais en France et que nous saurions trop fiers pour parler une autre langue. En réalité je pense que, tout comme les polonais, nous sommes plutôt timides. J’apprécie beaucoup ce pays et j’envisage de prolonger mon séjour et d’y travailler encore un peu.

У Гданьску, як і ў самой Польшчы, я ўжо не ў першы раз. Для свайго абмену Эразмус я абрала менавіта Гданьск – таму што я памятала, наколькі гэта выдатны горад. Да таго ж, ён знаходзіцца вельмі блізка да мора - а для беларуса гэта раскоша. Польшча мне вельмі падабаецца эстэтычна: пачынаючы ад гісторыі плаката і дызайну, заканчваючы рэканструкцыяй дамоў і зачараваннем прыгарадных раёнаў. Самае моцнае жаданне, якое ўзнікае, калі выходзіш на вуліцу-сесці дзе-небудзь на лаўцы ў парку або на парапет каля набярэжнай і маляваць прыгажосць вакол цябе. Мне вельмі пашанцавала жыць у выдатным сучасным інтэрнаце ў цэнтры Старога горада-інтэрната тут нашмат лепш, чым у Беларусі ці Літве. Пажыць у самым сэрцы старога еўрапейскага горада было маёй даўняй марай, яшчэ ў Вільні, але заўсёды спыняла кошт жылля. І вось, мая мара вярнулася да мяне ў такім выглядзе. Польшча-гэта цудоўная краіна, з узрушаючай прыродай, выдатнымі гарадамі; тут ёсць мора і горы-усё што трэба для шчасця. Я вельмі рада, што правяла чатыры месяцы свайго жыцця тут, і думаю, што буду прыязджаць і падарожнічаць у будучыні - бо столькі адкрыццяў яшчэ чакае наперадзе. Адзінае, што мяне крыху хвалюе-гэта нестабільнае надвор'е. Вясновае цяпло ў Беларусь прыходзіць нашмат раней-ужо ў красавіку. А тут, у Гданьску, я тры месяцы з чатырох праходзіла ў цёплым паліто. Але я стараюся выкарыстоўваць пакінуты месяц тут па максімуму-шмат гуляю па горадзе і атрымліваю асалоду ад сонца. Я шчаслівая быць тут.

I moved to Gdańsk at the beginning of October. I know that this is probably one of those breakthrough moments in my life - because I know it was the time when I made the decision to move out of the house permanently. I love my hometown - and I don't know where my life will take me - but I know that this period of living in my family home is over. Life in Poland in general seems to me to be what I would like to connect with the future - at least for a while - I feel at home here and the character of the Slavs is close to me and I feel good here. Of course, I could not and would not like to close myself only to Poland and Polishness, I love discovering other cultures and traditions - that's why I do not rule out moving for a while to a completely different place in the future. After all, when I think about my future - I associate it mainly with being in Poland. But that's later - now I still have a discovery season. Anyway, it's hard to plan something - after all, I can't really be sure what will happen tomorrow.

I think that I will have very good memories of my stay in Poland. I met interesting people and very good friend The city of Gdansk . I also have a strong impression of living in a theater set, this strange feeling is the strongest in Gdansk but I also noticed it in other Polish cities like Lublin. itself is very particular, it seems to be in permanent reconstruction: indeed, everywhere I go I see places in renovation, the pavement is rebuilt or surfaces are being repainted. This country being further east and north compared to France, it is definitely cooler. After almost nine months spent here, I can easily notice how differently I and the natives feel the temperature. In France, we sometimes say that "le fond de l’air est frais" (the back of the air is cold) and I could finally understand what that means. It is quite frequent that I have to dress in one or more sweaters and pass women in skirts and t-shirts outside. It is always something I have difficulty to get accustomed to. When I arrived here, I can't explain why, but I deeply believed that Polish people were very comfortable in English. I was surprised to find out that this was not the case. I have the impression that our nations share this relationship with English. It is often said that the linguistic proficiency in France is very poor and that we would be too proud to speak another language. In reality I think that, like the Polish, we are rather shy. I like this country very much and I plan to extend my stay and work there a little more.

This is not my first time in Gdansk, as in Poland itself. For my Erasmus exchange, I chose Gdansk – because I remembered how beautiful it is. In addition, it is very close to the sea – and for a Belarusian it is a luxury. I really like Poland aesthetically: from the history of the poster and design, to the reconstruction of houses and the charm of suburban areas. The most powerful desire that arises when you go out on the street is to sit somewhere on a park bench or on the parapet near the embankment and paint the beauty around you. I am very lucky to live in a beautiful modern dormitory in the center of the old town – the dormitories here are much better than in Belarus or Lithuania. Living in the heart of the old European city has been a long-standing dream of mine since my life in Vilnius, but the cost of housing has always stopped me. And so, my dream came back to me in this form. Poland is a wonderful country, with stunning nature, beautiful cities; there is a sea and mountains - everything you need for happiness. I am very happy that I spent four months of my life here, and I think that I will come and travel in the future – because so many discoveries still lie ahead. The only thing that upsets me a little is the unstable weather. Spring warmth comes to Belarus much earlier – in April. And here, in Gdansk, I spent three months out of four in a warm coat. But I try to use the remaining month here to the maximum – I walk around the city a lot and enjoy the sun. I'm happy to be here.
