1 month!

Time runs so fast. It's been already a month since I am in the USA again! Can you believe it? It passed with the Cultural Care New York training school, New York City short seesighting, coming to my beloved host family, meeting for the first time baby Anna, playing and spending plenty of wonderful time with my big boys, visiting old friends, finding new friends, visiting and tour-guiding Washington DC and a lot more. Let's see...
;
Czas leci tak szybko. To już miesiąc od kiedy znowu jestem w USA! Uwierzycie?Wszystko zlecało wraz ze szkoleniem Cultural Care w Nowym Jorku, krótkim zwiedzaniem Nowego Jorku, przybyciem do mojej ukochanej rodziny goszczącej, pierwszym spotkaniem z malutką Anną, zabawą i spędzaniem mnóstwa cudownego czasu z moimi chłopakami olbrzymami, spotkaniami ze starymi znajomymi, spotkaniem nowych znajomych, zwiedzaniem i oprowadzeniem po Waszyngtonie i wiele więcej. Zobaczmy...;

New York City tour

Cultural Care at the end of au pair training always offers the possibility to take a bus tour in New York City. Hare is my experience from the second time of this trip.
Pod koniec szkolenia dla operek Cultural Care zawsze oferuje możliwość wycieczki autobusowej po Nowym Jorku. Oto moje doświadczenie z drugiego razu na niej.

The Training School


The training school in New York...
What can I say. I was my second time there and it was, most of the time, just like dejavu. However, I have to admit that the food there improved a lot. In the training, all the au pairs could learn many useful things for safaty and health and creativity. There were also some break in with you could get outside and walk around the campus or use an internet to contact your family back in your country.

The trainnig was followed by a trip to New Your City - the pics from this will be in the next post. Here are the ones from the trainnig school.
Szkolenie w Nowym Yorku...
Cóż mogę powiedzieć. To był mój drugi raz tam i przez większą czasu to było jak dejavu. Jednakże muszę przyznać jedno: jedzenie tam serwowane naprawdę dużo się polepszyło. Podczas szkolenia operki mogły nauczyć się sporo użytecznych rzeczy na temat bezpieczeństwa, zdrowia i kreatywności. Podczas przerw, które tam były można było wyjść na zewnątrz i pospacerować po terenach Universytetu lub skorzystać z internetu by skontaktować się ze swoją rodziną w kraju.

Szkolenie zakończyło się wycieczką po Nowym Yorku - zdjęcia z niej już w następnym poście. A tymczasem zdjęcia ze szkoły szkoleniowej.

Welcome to United States Of America


I made it! I made my number 86 in my bucket list: Visit USA for the third time. My flight was okey, Changing the flight at the airport too. I watched really nice movie during the transatlantic flight 'The lucky one' - really nice.
There was a lot of line at the passport check in the Newark Airport - but it was funny to talk to this guy there. During the passpart check we talk a while about the family and why I am coming back again, few laughs (e.g. that I am kind of the second mother in this family :D ) - if was nice and funny.

I hAve to tell you that IT IS SO MUCH DIFFERENT WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO USA FOR THE THIRD TIME.
We had to wait for other girls from the other flight so it wa long time there. When we finaly get to the trainig school in New York it was after midnight and I was so freaking tired. The very next day, I had to wole up at 6 am - I looked and felt like zombie!


Hera are some of the pics from all the travel
Udało się! Odkreślam numer 86 na mojej liście zdobyczy: Odwiedzam USA po raz trzeci. Cały przelot był wporządku. Tak samo jak przesiadka. Oglądałam bardzo fajny film w trakcie lotu przez Ocean: "The lucky one" - zdecydowanie polecam ten fajny film.
Oczywiście nie obyło ię bez kolejek przy sprawdzaniu paszportów i wiz na lotnisku w Newark - nie mniej jednak było bardzo zabawnie podczas rozmwy z gościem (celnikeim czy jak on tam ię zwie). Rozmawialiśmy o tym dlaczego wracam do USA ponownie (nawet stwierdziliśmy że jestem taką drugą, przyszywaną mamą w tej rodzinie) - naprawdę fajna gadka.

Muszę wam coŚ powiedzieć: JEST ZUPEŁNIE INACZEJ NA LOTNISKU GDY PRZYJEŻDZASZ O RAZ TRZECI.
Na lotnisku trozkę poczekaliśmy na dziewczyny z innego lotu. W sumie do do szkoły w Nowym Jorku dotarliśmy po północy,byłam paadnieęęętaaa. Następnego dnia musiała wstać o szóstej - Wyglądałam i czułam się ja zombie!


A poniżej kilka zdjęc z podróży:

The final countdown


"(...)And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell ?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?

It's the final countdown!..."
"(...)A może wrócimy,
Na Ziemię, kto wie?
Chyba nie ma kogo winić
Odlatujemy
Czy kiedyś będzie jak dawniej?

To końcowe odliczanie!
I'm leaving tomorrow. Where? What will I do there? Why am I going? And how look like my last days in Poland. Of course, additionaly a few fast tips.
Wyjeżdzam jutro. Gdzie? Co będę tam robić? Dlaczego wyjeżdzam? I jak wyglądają moje ostatnie dni w Polsce. Oczywiście, dodatkowo kilka szybkich wskazówek.

Visit at the radio

OK, I finaly figure out how to put my huge audio file with the radio audition into my blog. The 2hours program run so fast. I could said so much more about the program, my knowledge and bet of all - my experience, but the program frame didn't let me.

Radio

On Wednesday 27/06/2012 at 4-6pm - I will be at the Radio Kim talking about myself as an au pair and my two years in America - feel free to listen about my story and my point of view :)

Wiza wiza wiza wiza
Visa!

3 days after my visit at the American Embassy at here it my NEW and SECOND au pair (J1) Visa is here with me.

This time I haven't take anything weird stuff with me to the embassy as previously:
- 2007 - I was during camping at the Polish Scout Jamboree in Kielce (100 years of Scouting Movement) and the date for my visit was set exactly in the middle of the event. Those of you who had any touch with scouting know that usually you have many weird things, all put together in one backack in the tent, and so I had the same. The worst part was that I had many things to do right before living the camp site. The result of this one was that I packed myself really fast. When I got to the embassy, the first question at the security gate (when I gave my bag to the security lady) was: "Are planning to kill somebody here?". Imagine me... It was my first time at US embassy I was already stressed out and here I get the question like that with a very serious tone. I almost fainted! What was the reason of the question?

(WIEDZA KTÓRĄ MUSZISZ MIEĆ)
Piece of knowledge to have

There is so much to do still for my blog but at first, as I had promised, I will write about the last document completing and what you need/might need  to know.

As you know (at least those of you who the same as me is going to be au pair with Cultural Care) there is no need of running after any documents for the agency before your perfect match. Then after the final match, you will have to take care of the papers that will consume same of your time:
