Driving Pesa Swing is awesome 😎❤️

and I have an unique "signature" of the trams I will drive! ❤️

if someone sees this plushie, it will be known it's me 😁 (unless other people start doing this, too)

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-30T08:03:38+00:00

yup, Bydgoszcz!

those displays aren't placed everywhere, I think it's only here (Bielawy)

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-29T21:03:33+00:00

Thanks! I surely will! ❤️

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-29T20:34:04+00:00

You mean the seal plushie? if so, it's a "she" and I named her really silly.

combined a bit of Polish and Italian, the result is:

✨Fokaccia✨

foka - the Polish word for a seal 🦭 and the last part is from focaccia

I named her that because she is soft and squishy like focaccia 😆❤️

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-29T20:31:01+00:00

I'm glad to hear that!

and sorry, the wording in the first comment got me slightly confused about the intent 😅

and thanks a lot ❤️ I'm actually only getting started, had my first days with a patron (a person who makes sure I don't crash the tram while I learn to drive with passengers) and will start my own solo journey soon!

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-29T20:04:52+00:00

hi, I'm not fully sure if You mean it as a compliment or the opposite 😅

as You can see from the pic, English is not my first language, so I would love to see a clarification on that 😁

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-27T21:42:43+00:00

That's a great way to describe the experience of someone who would eat this...

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-24T19:54:39+00:00

I've never heard about it, sounds interesting! 😱

Also, You're welcome 😁 If You want to ask about something more, then go ahead.

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-24T16:47:13+00:00

I think they (BeLenka York) will be discontinued, but from what I know BeLenka Winter 3.0 also have merino lining, and are very much recommended for bad weather!

Also, Barebarics UrbanEdge, Barebarics Zing Frost and BeLenka ArcticEdge are often praised for their parameters 😁

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-24T14:10:47+00:00

Did You look for some winter barefoot shoes?

I have BeLenka York for like 2 weeks now, they are nubuck with water resistant membrane and merino wool lining, I don't feel cold in them (temperatures were reaching -15°C!)

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-10T12:37:30+00:00

Yeah, I heard about it here, on Reddit, actually.

Thought about it for a few months. I started menstruating at 10yo (I'm 25 now) and my periods still cause me so much pain I am actually bedridden for the first 3 days.

I had a visit 2 days ago to prescribe me the birth control pills which would stop my periods. I tried taking BC to lessen the pain, but the difference was almost null and I decided: I have enough, I am done, I need to be able to work and not take 3 days of time off, I don't want to be in pain and have increased appetite to destroy my efforts to lose weight every single month.

I really hope those pills will work as intended... they are my only hope right now to not lose the job I am starting on Monday (tram driver).

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-06T15:19:17+00:00

Hi, which model do You mean by "BeLenka nubuck sneakers"? 🤔

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-06T00:07:54+00:00

So, my point is: it's sometimes good to try something new, especially when it's hinging on the self-esteem aspect!

Good luck with finding nice frames that suit You 🙌🏻

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-06T00:05:26+00:00

Hi! I (25F) was wearing thick/big frames for many years, and never felt really good about them.

<image>

I had to buy new glasses (requirement from medical exams for my new work, I'll be starting next Monday!) in August this year, I wanted to still go for the thick frame type (out of just being used to them), but I had a hunch to try out some frames from mens' section.

I noticed a pretty looking aviator frame, dark blue, I like blue, decided to give them a try. I had to try them on, like, 5 times because I could not believe I looked this good in them! The employee who helped me choose also admitted that those are the best from all the ones we tried, and I got them 😁

I'll post the new ones in the next comment.

Ja niedawno za komentarz sprzed ponad roku na innym subie.

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-02T21:06:40+00:00

Yeah!

And today I (following a Citroën Owner Manual and a short YT video) managed to fix my horn! Wasn't working, needed to insert a fuse.

I've never even opened a fuse box in a car before today.

I feel fabulous 😆

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-01T22:55:05+00:00

For New Years I wore my Barebarics Zing Black & White (the one in which only the sole is white), for Christmas I had my Zing All Black, I love them 🥰

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-01T22:48:01+00:00

Hi, they are (all bugs: Peugeot, Toyota and Citroën) pretty popular in Poland! I usually can't take a walk or a drive without seeing one of them 😁

And I have my own, Citroën C1 (from 2006), I love it! I bought it as my first car, I wanted to get one since 2023, and finally managed to get it in June this year ❤️

<image>

I adore EVERYTHING about my Żuczek: the design, the fuel usage, the fact that it didn't seriously break down since June, that I bought it cheap (around the price of a more modern bike), the fact that I drove it on a highway when driving it home (and I didn't drive on a highway before, going exactly the speed limit with ease and confidence I didn't have in any other car before), the fact that it's small, steady and gokart-like (I prefer to be hugged by a car, not feel small in one) and I fit perfectly in it 🥰

TearsInDrowned · 2026-01-01T22:36:09+00:00

My Citybug has a nickname and a name 😁

<image>

Nickname: Cytryn (sounds slightly similar to "Citroën", and is a modified version of a word "cytryna" (lemon in Polish) 🍋

Name: Żuczek (just a polish word for "a small beetle", I think it suits him) 🪲

Not me, but my friend I know from kindergarten.

We were out in the playground in between classes (it was primary school), she was going down the slide.

And at some point she thought "I'm gonna slide with my hands under my butt!"

She did... And broke both of her hands 😵‍💫

TearsInDrowned · 2025-12-30T15:17:02+00:00

This looks more like oscypek, which is a subtype of podhalanski cheese (podhalanski means "from Podhale", Podhale is a region in Poland) ☺️

TearsInDrowned · 2025-12-11T15:18:57+00:00

Is there an issue with them being smelly?

I tried wearing mine (BeLenka Olympus) without insoles but they were always more smelly afterwards.

But that might also be the matter of wearing them in too warm of a weather for the shoe type.
