Pierogarnia Mandu

Ribs sculpture
I can assume that each big city has some odd work of art hidden somewhere and here is one of them in Wrocław. It was finished not so long ago, I guess around two years and it was a controversy from the beginning. People couldn't believe how the city could spend more...

Hala Koszyki
It is really cool, insta-friendly place, where you can have a drink, eat or go shopping. It is like a street market but really well-designed and not so cheap. The venue looks simple and modern. I think it's mostly for young people, looking for some hipster, trendy...

My experience as a full-time student in Aalborg
Firstly, I need to mention that I'm a full-time Masters student here but I arrived only 9 months ago, so I believe my impression is relevant also for exchange students. Even though, Aalborg is Denmark's fourth biggest city, it is still small compared to other...

Vigelandsparken
Oslo is full of a bit weird and scary sculptures, located in different places around the city. Vigelandsparken is definitely one example of this odd art. The park itself is very big and unfortunately placed further from the city center, so you can't go there on the...

Aalborg Karneval
When you think about Denmark, stereotypically the first thought which comes to your mind would be probably cold weather and not so friendly people that rather don't speak to strangers. Yet, once a year everything changes and you can experience the biggest carnival in...

Different from traditional universities
Maybe it is only my experience because I come from University where both the professors and their teaching methods are present at the faculty for over twenty tears. But studying at Aalborg University is so much different, more modern and practical, than at those...
