And the story ends...

This Sunday I came back from Krakow finishing my 1.5 year spent abroad...
So many things happened that it would be impossible to summarize everything in one single post. Most of the things are collected in this blog anyway; however the most important is maybe missing...
During this 1.5 year I guess the most significant was to have so many VERY GOOD friends that are friends for life!! Even if they are on the other side of the world, it doesn't matter because they will be always part of the best period of my life. I think I cannot express enough thanks for that...

I hope to see all of you. And earlier or later I will, I know.

I gonna end this blog now, with this post, even if it's really sad, because finishing an adventure like this makes me truly sad. I hope you enjoyed to read my posts and to my dear friends: I wish to meet all of you again!!!

Final Thesis

Farewell party...

Even though, I still have a week in Krakow, some people are about to leave the city... ESN organized a party for us in Zauek with free beers and pizza and many many people and good music... The very last party where most of the people were still presented all together, but after this, Erasmus life finishes...

Orsiiii we'll continue the party in Hungary :)

already a good day :)

Dear International Program Office,

I would like to inform you about the fact that Mrs Flora Gulyas from
the STAIR Programme has been awarded a 5.0 (very good) grade for my
Spring semester's International Trade subject.

I would be grateful if you could include this information in her study
documents.

Thank you!

Best regards

;)

Pluss, I officialy finished my final thesis today so I'll submit it to my advisor and then they can start the plagium check.

Warsaw

apparently, we were freezing :P

one of the main squares in the old town

castle on the lake (ice??)

Despite the cold weather and freezing all the time, the trip was successful and Warsaw is beautiful… Our travelling group was perfect and of course very international: Rabea (Germany), Valentina, Luis, Luis’s friend Beto (also from Mexico) and me.
Previously, almost everybody told us that Warsaw is an industrial city plus it was completely destroyed during WW2 (85% of the city…) but as a consequence, most of the buildings in the old city center were in an eminently good shape. The colorful houses and the Christmas lights highlighted the general perception.

purple christmas tree - almost february :D

We tried to look around and see as much as possible, so we went to a Park to see the Castle on the Lake, also Chopin’s statue that was a little bit abstract, walking around the old and the new city center, and visiting the Warsaw Uprising Museum! The most surprising part was the 3D cinema where we flew around Warsaw in 1945, after the bombardments. Of course, we ate many times and spent relatively a lot of time inside regarding the weather… Oh, and unfortunately, we “couldn’t buy” any public transportation ticket so that was free for us haha :DOh, and the funniest was definitely the change of guards at midnight :D

between exams

Hopefully I'm done with Int'l Transactions, if not, next week another chance to pass it...
Tomorrow Basic Law and Microec... not too bad :P

Good news: it's highly possible that next semester I'll come back for a weekend to play in the final games with the basketball team :D They'd pay the bus ticket for me :D We'll see but yes, I'd love it...:)

This weekend we might go to Wrocław and Warsaw with Orsi, Luis, Valentina, Luis's friend and Idonnowhoelse... I wanna use the time until I leave Poland because now I feel my international life is finishing for a while...

Waterpolo

another fantastic picture with Orsi :P

I really hope that Hungary and Serbia will play against each other in the final game this weekend :D
Nevertheless, we alo started to organize to watch the games at the weekend with Stefano (Italy) and Draga (Montenegro), I guess it gonna be a lot of fun :D

Concernig the recent news, I'm about to finish the semester, 1 exam tomorrow, I don't know about the rest yet (Microeconomics LOL), final thesis is almost done (waiting for Piotr...), another research paper is under improvement (in order to get 5), Int'l Management (or Strategic Management) is coming today...
Not too much left from this 1.5 year, next Monday I will apply for my courses in Debrecen, and in 3 weeks I'm going home...

UPDATE: Int'l Management = 5 :D

what a nice weekend :)

Propaganda

I was really glad that Hilda made it to Poland and visited me :) Being roommates in Debrecen we became really good friends and I was happy to host her for these 4 days!  Despite the fact that the bus got broken 10 km away from Krakko and they had to wait 4 hours on the highway, no other problems disturbed our time here. 

Without doubt, we had a lot of fun together: siteseeing, partying... We also had a '"Debrecen reunion meeting" with Iwona-Mikolaj-Agatha :D And yes, finally we made it Auschwitz, too.

Propaganda 2

Ohh the best story ever: Hilda and me had a drink in Propaganda, next to la Habana, and while we were waiting for the drinks, Hilda noticed that at the pub they're still using Pascal LOOOOL she took picture of that cause it was too surprising for her :P I was sooo laughing how much she's an IT girl :D

Nevertheless, now I have to start studying:

-          final thesis

Diva

-          SAP research paper

-          international management research

-          international trade

In addition, tests, exams, etc etc…

Also, we have to start planning our trip to the
Baltic states - or anywhere else - in February :D

when Timmo spent winter break in Budapest...:)

German Embassy

 First of all, I wish Happy New Year for everybody:D

in front of the Chain Bridge

My winterbreak with Timmo was amazing, I couldn't wish a better one:) It was eventful, foodful, beerful, and so on. :)
The pictures show just part of the places that we visited, we also went to Thália Theater (Miss Saigon), Morrison's (coctail discount), termal spa (Széchenyi), Balaton - travelling by a ferry from Tihany to Szárszó...

We met Zita and Laci in Andersen to drink some shots of Fény :D

Gellért-hegy

Also, we met Lex many times, and  celebrated together New Year Eve in the city center.
Climbed on the Gellért mountain, walked around Margaret Island accrossing several bridges...

New Year Eve with Lex

I have to say we almost visited every important places in Budapest so next time we have to explore other parts of the country!!!
