LIGOTA 

              If you are coming to Katowice as a student probably you will stay at Katowice Ligota. Don't worry i know it sounds out of city when you hear Katowice Ligota but it is only 7 minutes by train :) and only two minutes distance of dormitory and train station of Ligota. Also there is supermarket left side of train station, you can find most of things what do you need in a day, which name is Biedronka. 

             About to dorm there is 2 buildings which is you see for erasmus students, behind to it there is another blok, which is staying Polish students. i mean if you want to have fun during erasmus and if you want to international environment during your erasmus you should not think about rent a flat. Stay at dorm, get more friendship ;)

KATOWICE CITY CENTER

            Second part of these photos, i would like to share some part of city center with you. when you get out to main train station it means you are close to everywhere :) you can go every where by walk or you can took tram or bus as you want. after 2 or 3 minutes later you will see to Rynek which mean is Main Square of city in Polish. Every city has rynek at Poland you will see :) but in here different from the others because normaly all Polish cities have old buildings at there but in Katowice totally different there is only 2 or maximum 3 old buildings not more then but do not understand Katowice has not any history, of course has. the old buildings are different places of city. About to Rynek there is available for activities or festivals.

            Mariacka Street is pub street espically for students. you can meet with your friends and taste Polish and Czech beers also wodka :) i mean if you are not like always party you can go this street and get good conversations.

SILESIAN PARK

            That was so lovely day for us, someone post it on Facebook "Hey Guys! What about Silesian Park?" and we did not think on it to much :) we had hard party before it, it was good oppurtunities for get fresh. About to time, i mean on spring park is looking awesome, i guess it will be good again when everywhere be white. to be honestly, i love spring :)

           I would like to share with you some info about what has Silesian Park.

           Silesia Park is a perfect, all-year-round destination for nature lovers, tourist attractions hunters, sport & fitness fans and all those who appreciate and enjoy any kind of outdoor activity. No matter which of the 7 entrances to the park you choose you will always find yourself surrounded by beautiful trees, picturesque meadows and thousands of flowers. During the winter time you will discover how relaxing it may be to come for a walk to experience peace and quiet in the park desolate and covered by snow. But we were lucky to see on spring, when is the best time parks thanks to colorful tree leaves.

There is not only park;

Silesian Planetarium

-The oldest and largest planetarium in Poland. It was designed by Zbigniew Solawa, an architect from Krakow acclaimed for his unconventional and innovative concept of the building.The planetarium was officially opened on 4 December, 1955 and built to commemorate the legendary achievements of Nicolaus Copernicus. The inside of the 23m-high dome is used as a screen imitating sky on which the images of planets, constellations and other celestial bodies are displayed.

Silesian Amusement Park

-Opened on September 12th 1959 until today happens to be the largest amusement park in Poland. Set on 26 hectares surrounding a huge pond, the Silesia Amusement Park offers a variety of attractions as well as numerous bars and cafes. One of park's main attractions is the Big Planes – a giant carrousel 30m high. Each of the 6 aircrafts seats up to 10 people and is attached to cables over 20m long.

Silesian Zoological Garden

-Established between 1954 and 1958, the Silesia ZOO happens to be one of the youngest in Poland. It is also one of the largest in terms of area and number of residents from almost all continents. Set on 48 hectares, the Silesia ZOO is home of more than 2200 animals representing about 280 species.

Krakow Trip

             Krakow trip one of the best times in Poland. It was our first trip with whole erasmus students. First i thought it will be boring with all those people because i always thought crowded bring troubles. But it was complately opposite of my thoughts. Every hours of these trip was amazing. The hostel we stayed was near to the old town. That is why we went around at the first day and also the second day with ESN members and guide. 

            The biggest event was the Tram Party. If you ever have chance to go to Krakow, you should definetly try it and you will be shock when you see the horses in the old town. It was so different to me because i never saw big horses like them. :) I went a lot of capitals at the Europe because of being an Erasmus student but this city is really one of the best and don't forget Poland is not that far away all the good cities at Europe and easy to live. See you at the next post.

Global Villlage 2015

         Global Village 2015. This day was so friendly for all of us. Maybe some of us se each other firstly there. We are grateful to University of Economics in Katowice also ESN members for organised this day. After this day we got new friendship from every country thanks to them. There was president of university, manager of international office and all members of ESN Katowice. So I can say this was formal meeting.
       That day every country had some presantation about own culture. some of us showed videos, some of us showed us tradational dance, some of us showed music. So it was good chance to know cultures.
