Indeed the editor is doing an excellent job. I was astonished myself when I saw the final version . The diary won't reveal if I'm still in the UK. I can do it but after publishing the last chapter . Thank you for reading. Regards Krzysztof

Thank you Ashi. I can reveal that gay part will start in next chapter . Anyway this story is predominantly about immigration with gay part in the background. Below you can find an explanation of mentioned terms: 1. CV(curriculum vitae)is a document containing your work experience, education, personal data and other information useful for prospective employer; it's called resume in some countries 2. Gumtree is a website, especially popular in UK and Australia, where you can find a job or s flat to rent; kind of online flea market Regards Krzysztof

Thanks for review. I agree with you regarding that vicious cycle. However immigrants' environment is very variable and there is always someone to rely on. Anyway first chapter is rather optimistic comparing to content of other ones. I encourage you to follow Regards Krzysztof

Hello everyone! My first text written in English was approved (thanks to LJH who helped me with editing). Now you can find it among other stories. It's about immigration and takes place in London. Would be great if someone wants to read and share opinion about it. Below is a link . Look forward to hearing from you. https://www.gayauthors.org/story/krzysztof/treasurehuntimmigrantsdiary

Author’s Note The language used in this story is simple. You’re probably thinking, he hasn’t even started and he’s already placed a disclaimer, on the first line at that. Nothing of the kind. I just want to let you know why it’s simple. I could write in my mother tongue and hire a professional translator, but decided against that. The Polish version would not be of interest because only a few people in my country are interested in the topic of immigration. Nowadays, in cities like Warsaw

What cross your mind if I say London? The Queen, London Eye, fun? Instead, I'll tell you about: violence, exploitation, sex, drugs and unhappiness. But also about love and hope. This is immigrants' London in the genuine immigrant's diary.

Sometimes I have dreams which continue next night at the point where they ended previously. My record was the series of dreams about pirates that lasted five nights in a row. Some dreams I can even control: once I was swimming in the sea when a hippo approached and wanted to eat my backpack. I said stop and everything started from the beginning with one exception. I was aware that hippo would come .

I can share a recipe for a traditional Polish cake. It's called Carpathian cake because it's growing in oven like mountains during prehistoric eras I suppose . The recipe is mine, however copy and paste from the blog I created more than one year ago but ended up only with one below : Ingredients for dough: - 1 glass water - 1/2 bar of margarine - 1 glass wheat flour - 5 eggs - 1 teaspoon baking powder Ingredients for cream: - 1 glass milk (separatly 1/3 and 2/3) - 1/2 glass sugar - 1 tablespoon wheat flour - 1 yolk - 1 tablespoon pudding powder - 1/2 bar of butter In the medium saucepan, melt butter in water over medium heat. Add flour and intensively stir with the wooden spoon until you get a dough (as in the picture, in this moment it doesn't have to be smooth). Let the dough cool down. In the meantime prepare cream. Melt sugar in the milk (2/3). To the rest of milk (1/3 cup) add yolk, flour and pudding powder. Mix all togheter and then pour to sugar and milk. Stir thoroughly until you get consistency of cream. Let it boiled and then cool down. Now we come back to our dough. Add 5 eggs and baking powder. Knead until you get the smooth consistency. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (about 200 degress C). Divide the dough into two equal parts. Put the baking paper on rectangular cake pan (never use butter or margarine!!!). Then put one part of dough and spread evenly. Bake for about 15-20 minuts. Look like it's growing... ...and in the meantime finish preapering cream. Grind butter and then bit by bit add cream still grinding until smooth. When the first part of cake is prepared (a little brown, as in the picture), bake the second part. Put the cream and then second part of the cake on this. It's ready to eat!

Hello! My name is Krzysztof (Chris). I live in Poland but recently decided to write in English. The idea to make such a move emerged after six months in London. I've just finished the book called "Treasure Hunt: Immigrant's Diary" about Polish lad (me ) who struggles in foreign reality, trying to make his dreams come true. He’s also gay, hoping to find easier life in London but on the other hand has to resist temptations which provides big city. However the whole story is much more universal, dealing with issues around the topic of immigration, showing experiences of people who moved to the UK from other countries. Basically it's very complex and a lot to explain so I will introduce it step by step in other topics if you want . Though, my English is intermediate, it's far from being perfect. Here I hope to find people to help me with everything, from grammar to contents, give advices. Then make some friendships with other writers. Please be understanding as I learn English all time. Trying to be sistematic, on the other hand I have to learn Italian as well because I study Italian philology. Anyway my aim is to become fluent. Don't know what to say more. Thank you for attention .
