After a two-week break, I would like to share a new article with you. During this period, I would like to give you short notes about these countries I visited for various researches and relatives visits between November 28 and December 8.

I would like to say that I received my German tourist visa very early. Because in my country, these procedures are a little tighter and slow. That's why I was so happy that they were quickly confirmed. I had already purchased my flight ticket and started to wait for my travel day.

One day after staying in  Šibenik, I left for Split Airport. I got on the plane after passport control. I arrived in Stuttgart after 1 hour and 30 minutes trip. With the train ticket I got here, I reached Stuttgart central train station and then Karlsruhe. After waiting for another train here, I reached the city of Offenburg. Together with my relative, I went to the city of Strasbourg, the nerve city of Germany. I would like to say that it affects me with its nature. After resting that day, I met with several institutions to get information about universities. I planned to have my department in France or Germany and to pursue my life in one of these two countries.

I first went to the University of Strasbourg to inquire about these issues. They said it would be more useful if you came here as a student. Because if I come with this visa, I can benefit from scholarship or accommodation. During this period, there was also the opportunity to explore the city of Strasbourg and to see its important structures. As it is known, Strasbourg is one of the most important cities for the European Union. It is the centre of many European Union institutions and ministries. Naturally, the crossing of the Rhine through these city borders adds a different meaning to it. People from different nationalities live in this city. France is, therefore, a multinational country.

In these days, I also went to Konstanz, Germany, where I had already communicated with the university. This city, also known as the student city, is a neighbour with Switzerland. There are many social and cultural activities for students and local people. I need to tell you about the position of the university. It is a university within the forests with an advanced education and training staff and hosting many students from abroad. Here, I would like to thank my close relative who introduced me to the city. If you go there, I recommend you to try one of the hot wines and traditional cakes ;).

After this day, it was time to see Strasbourg famous Christmas markets. In particular, it is possible to reach many parts of the city via trams. I have often used this means of public transport. After buying a few souvenirs, it was time to return.

As a result, it would be best to apply my plans in those cities according to my budget. Both cities have fascinating natural beauty and a structure that attracts people. I will make my decision within 6 months and make my decision by using all my chances.

Together we will see what's going on for the future. You just can't beat the person who won't give up.
