Trip to Gdanks

We left Poznan at 10am and we arrived there around 13pm.

It was so so cloudy but the weather still warm, I was a little bit surprised because It was October and Poland is known for being a very cold country.

We were a group of 16 people all from different countries but we really got on well.

The first day first of all we went to leave all in the Hostel: “la guitarra”, which is amazing, everything really clean and people really nice, also it is situated in front of the sea, so in our bedrooms we had awesome views. After that we went to visit some museums and just walking a little bit around.

The second day we went to Sopot a small seaside city, really beautiful. There we were just enjoying the sea and visiting some boats. I have to say that apart from the sea Sopot has really good clubs so you can have so much fun at night. In the afternoon we went to Oliwa and we saw some churches and also as it was 1^st of November we went to the cemetery just to see how polish people live this day. Actually it is so different from Spain; they put so much candles and flowers. When I went there I felt in Christmas.

The third day we went to Gdynia but it wasn’t so good because of the weather, it was raining so we return to Gdansk and we rest a little bit because next day we were leaving so soon.

I really loved Gdansk, It is so beautiful at night and also it is a really romantic city with too many interesting things to see.

Erasmus in Poznan

First day in Poznan:

all the feelings you have when you arrive to a new place, all the places you have to discover by yourself, a new culture to enjoy, new people who meet with and also a new language to learn.

When I got off the plane was the moment when I realize I was in another country, I started to believe it, and I was in Poland and for the first time I also asked myself: Why Poland?

Then I took a taxi and I started to be like a child who gets lost in a shopping center.

I didn't know how to use even the public transport; I thought it was like in Spain, but no.

The first anecdote was getting on a bus and asking the bus driver for a ticket by doing gestures because my polish was horrible. Although we didn't understand each other at the end we realize that in Poland you don't buy tickets inside of public transport so we thought it was free.

After taking a bus and a tram thanks of a polish girl who came with us until the dormitory's door.

Because of our perfect polish we didn't understand the receptionist either. at the end we got to our room and i discovered my roommate was from Germany and I have to say that she is an angel, I was so so lucky to be with hair. After a long day, we got to meet everybody from the course and We went party(as every Erasmus)

All the fear and nervousness finished meeting so many nice people and drinking polish beer.
