Warsaw's nightlife touch

Last night I was at an amazing concert of the dj Shy FX & Stamina MC, with theyre Drum'n'Bass mixed to Hip Hop...for the cheap ticket of 10 zlotys (about 2,5€)

The structure was a very nice place for every type of events, indeed there are organized a lot of concerts (Klub Palladium http://www.palladium.art.pl/)...in Italy this kind of events are performed in abandoned warehouses... -.-


Here you can enjoy every style of music and event in cool and safety places.


But...let the videos speak! ;)

A nice sunny day in Warsaw

Today I've enjoyed another wonderful sunny day in Warsaw. It was a good opportunity to go to the gym and to visit some shops at the Arkadia shopping center!

Now move in the city is more easy, after learning to use the trams! ;)

First sunny day in Warsaw!

With the sun Warsaw is so much better! 

Erasmus experience proceeds very well! After a double meeting, yesterday, in both faculties (management and economics monday courses are going to begin.

Nightlife in here is really great! There a lot of amazing locals, for every night.

The gym was great! I've already attended it for two times!

There is a very enormous shopping center, called Arkadia (where the gym is), with a lot of shops, and a Carrefour for do shopping. It's quite near from our dormitory, so with buses, metro or trams it's easy to reach.

See you later, aligators! In a while crocodile

Let's talk about some particularity here in Warsaw...

  • The first particular sound heard here in Warsaw is the crows' cry...they are as popular as pigeons!
  • If you walk on the street and cross out of the crossing lines you may be punished with a forfeit of 50 Zloty (about 13€), the same thing happens if you cross with red traffic light.
  • In the metro you can find a lot of people at 5 a.m. yet, on the streets there are people all the time.
  • In some streets there are mans who polish your shoes for few Zlotys.
  • In supermarkets you can find an amazing quantity of sausages, wurstel, and other specialities like these.
  • Wardrobe is a must for every place! Library, pubs, locals, university's offices...
  • Carrefour sales catsuits, probably for the cold temperature (now 5 degrees, and we are still in september!)


Today I am officially a student of the University of Warsaw, I've picked up the student badge at the International Relationship Office, after a little queue. After that we have visited the University's Library, near the Central Campus; it provides a very efficient service and is a very big and modern building. Below you can watch some photos of it.






Now we are trying to register at the courses of the University, it's request an online registration for take part in courses; the service is a little bit complicated, but we are trying to understand how to use it.

First impressions after the arrival

Here I am! Landed in Warsaw on Monday, immediatly fascinated by this beautiful city.


The offset between the old city, the tradition, the Communism after the WW2 until 1989, the ancient buildings and the residential blocks...and the new city, with a lot of skyscrapers, shopping centers, a very active financial life, interesting night life...a transformation of the capital in an American colony gives to Warsaw a touch of western way of life.


The weather is not so good, there is mostly cloudy, cold and there is very much wind! The humidity is very high. So I have to walk on the street like in italian's winter!


The public transport system is very efficient, with about 100 Zloty you can (if you are a student) utilize all the services of the city (metro, bus and tram) so is very easy to move from one area to another one.


The university is very cool! The campus is a true little city in the center of Warsaw. There are a lot of faculties all over the city. I will attend the Management one, so I visited it yesterday...is a very modern building and the ambient is confortable and very very cool and professional! There is also a copy for students of "The Wall Street Journal" every day! For complete the integration with the american's economy and way of life.
