Only memory remains..

Good-bye to you, beautiful Belgium. Good-bye my Erasmus friends.

Paris and Brussels. Again.

Because the time is running so fast, and my Erasmus adventure is coming to the end, I took advantage and I went for the second time in Paris and Brussels, two of the most European capitals.

Both of them are very similar and if you are a French guy, you will find Brussels like the second home. On my way to Paris, I had the chance to travel with TGV train.

My final exam session.

Today I had my last exam. This exam put an end to my last exam session for college. A wonderful feeling.

Once in a lifetime.

Two days ago I was asked by one of my friends: What do you feel now, at the end of this Erasmus experience?

„My friend, this experience is similar like when you are getting married. It happens once in a lifetime. Only here I had the chance to meet plenty of people from so many countries: Bulgaria, France, Italy, Greece, Russia, Turkey, Poland, Finland, Holland etc. Only here I could see so many places: England, France, Holland, Germany, Belgium and Poland. I am sure that you won’t see so many foreign people, maybe only in a pub like Irish Pub.

Here I’ve received my best lesson of my life: we can learn from each other. We are not so different as you think. You will be surprised to find out how many words and habits we have in common. And what it is more important: we think and act similar in most of the problems”

Let’s not forget this adventure. It brings us hope and inspires us. What we have seen here and learnt from it is to pay respect for everything important and for everything we forget.

My first Easter without my family.

I know that in this special moment for Christians, it’s a family meeting, but this year I skip this meeting. We did our best to prepare a similar party.

London Called…So I Went!

My impressions from London

I absolutely love London! I love the public transportation, and the attitudes of this city. I like all the public gardens, parks and public areas. I had the feeling of diversity in this city, there’s a great mixture of people and cultures in London (in special polish people). There are people from all over the world in London, just there to explore the city’s beauty, art and history. It’s a great feeling! If i will have to chose i place where i would like to live and spend some time, London can be one of my favorite destination. But you have to take in account, that London is one of the most expensive places from the whole world.

What I did in London

The time was very short and London is not a place for couple for hours. I checked out the, Tower of London, Millennium Bridge, Big Ben, House of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Oxford Street and many, many of the streets, parks and lakes. And I really took my time to take photos for each location. When I got tired I took lunch with my girlfriend somewhere around to Oxford Street.

What I Liked Most

The thing that I like most about London is because it hasn’t just one attraction, but the general feeling and experience of the city makes London a great city to explore. Maybe for most of us, their English accent can be quite annoying from time to time, but I could listen English spoken as it really should be. And it’s beautiful to hear! We were like because we had a beautiful day, we were scared that it might rain. It was an awesome day!

I am sure that London is going to be one favorite memories.

Get a piece of Nature!

Not too far from Kortijk, there is wonderful place called Harelbeke. My friend Steven invited me to his place and he showed me a real piece of nature. Thank you, Steven!

 

 

Gelsenkirchen. Düsseldorf. Köln

In my trip in Germany I visited 3 big cities: Gelsenkirchen, Dusseldorf and Koln. In each city the weather wasn’t so friendly. We didn’t pay to much attention on this bad weather and we tried to enjoy every moment in each place.

Gelsenkirchen is looking for a new image.

In this place I came back to rest and sleep. I had the chance to stay to some friends of mine. In the past, Gelsenkirchen used to be known „city of a thousand fires” for the flames of mine gasses. It was the most important coal mining town in Europe. Today in Gelsenkirchen there are no mines any more and Gelsenkirchen is searching for a new image. There no many things to see in Gelsenkirchen, but it’s a very nice place to stay and live. Is has all the ingredients: clean, peacefull place, nice pubs and restaurants, etc.

Dusseldorf, the best place for shopping and tasting a beer.

Düsseldorf is a city where everything is close together: just near the well known shopping street, the „ Altstadt” the old quarter of the city, you can also find more than 260 pubs and home-brew taverns, a place witch is well known as “the longest bar in the world”.If you want to see a great view of the city, you can you in the top of the light house.

Köln – Dom is an important World Heritage Site.

It is one of the oldest cities in Germany. Köln is known as an important media centre. Several radio and television stations are based in the city. Köln is well-known for its beer, called Kolsch . Was it is incredible is that at the end of the Second War World, 90% of the city was complete destroyed. It took some time to rebuild the city, but I have to admit that I really admire what they have done with the city. It’s a complete new city. The most important place to visit, it’s of course, the famous Dom. Construction of the Gothic church began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, until 1880 to complete – a period of over six hundred years. This famous cathedral described by UNESCO as an „exceptional work of human creative genius”. This building is one of the most important World Heritage Site.
