Welcome Party | First time at youth hostel | First days at Work

So here I am again.
The last days were totally awesome.
I had one of the coolest welcome party, one of the biggest cultural shocks and very incredible moments.

So let's start from the beginning. It was the last day before the internship really starts, the morning was almost the same like the past few days where I woke up in the morning around 12.00. I sat for a few hours in the apartment and after that around 17.00 a cool guy just came in. He had just returned from his internship from Indonesia, where he stayed for about a year. He had a lot of stories to tell and a lot of adventures to describe.

Afterwards we went out with my Indian friend Alnavaz to visit the other side of the city by public transportation. So we took the first tram that came until its end. We saw a lot of interesting places, the city suburbs and yet again a lot of trees. We didn't stay there for a long time because the guys from AIESEC and some other interns were waiting for us at the Old Town.

We were about 13 people from 4 different countries. As you can see at the picture there are some river boats being used as pubs. It was the first place we went and it was very nice. We talked a lot about our experience so far and how we feeling.

After that we went to a place, with Turkish origins, for beer and hookah that was in a basement. I took a beer because I don't like hookah and stayed there for couple of hours talking for different things.
Our little party was continued to a Student club(ok I don't know how many of you are familiar with this term, because when I say student I mean free pass for students with very cheap prizes). The 0,5L beer costed me 4zl (1€=4zl) and we stayed there dancing and talking until 01.00.
Our trip ended at the bank of the river which was very nice at night.

Next day afternoon the time had come to move to my hostel, which is located within a fortress.
I was very surprised when I saw the place because it was something totally new for me. The temperature was quite low and the humidity level high. Afterwards I learned that the temperature remains this way for the whole year, and that's because of its construction.
I went to my room and found out that it had no plug ins and toilet. But the most "amazing" thing was its location within the fortress; it is at the first basement with view the party wall of the outside wall and the fortress's wall, exactly as it was in the Medieval Ages.
The first night passed without any difference except of the fact that I had a lot of dreams with different subjects; soldiers passing by, some religious wars etcetera.

The next morning was the most interesting one while I met with a guide, who is working here, and he showed me the place around. The history of the fort is quite interesting but I need a lot of time to describe it. The most wonderful think is that it was created in the 19th century basically for the World War I and its structure is accordingly to the laws of Physics and symmetrical. It could host more than 800 soldiers for about 3 months. Because this city was the borderline between Prussian empire and Germany, it had 15 other forts with same structure that didn't abstain more than 1,5 km each. It can't be seen from the outside and the only think someone could understand was a hill.

And we made it to the present, incredible moments, amazing experiences and interesting people continue to come and go.
I love my time here
