Keep your mind open

Keep your mind open.
Uma boa moral de vida, abrir a mente a novas possibilidades, novas experiências.
Ter uma visão limitada do mundo em que vivemos é o pior erro que se pode fazer, não aceitar que existem pessoas e culturas diferentes da nossa, acharmos que somos donos e senhores da razão e que a nossa visão da vida é a correcta.
A vida é demasiado curta para ser desperdiçada a tentarmos provar o nosso ponto de vista, ou a olharmos para o nosso passado como quem não tem a oportunidade de mudar aquilo que somos.
Errar faz parte da vida.. Mas não aprender com os erros.. isso é 1 erro imperdoável.
"Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it."
Para todos aqueles q passam a vida a queixar-se, mas não fazem por mudar.
Para todos aqueles q se deixam viver numa dormência, só pq é confortável.
Para todos aqueles q não abrem a pestana.
Esta música é para vocês.

Keep your mind open. (and wear sunscreen)

Trip to Krakow && Auschwitz

Hey hey. Imagine yourself with 30 Erasmus guys, going by train to krakow and auschwitz. Damn fun! It was interesting to travel in a train, during the night, full of Polish ppl (specially Militars).
I do not advise you to try the trains in Poland..
Krakow is awesome!! Castles, old churches, nice sidewalks and lovely parks. Feeling the old history on every corner of the city is wonderfull. From what i've seen, kraków is a much nicer city that warsow, by far.
We made a really nice tour by bike (as you can see by one of the pictures), it was so nice, fast, ecologic and i think the best way to know a city like kraków.
One of the pictures is from the Schindler's Factory (remember the movie Schindler's List?) that we were able to visit in our trip.
A place i recommend to everyone who likes history and cultural sightseeing.
A trip to repeat, one day. with more time.

Auschwitz is a quiet place, with loads of green around you. It's even hard to imagine it happened there the biggest extermination of jewish ppl. 1.5 million were killed there. The museum shows a lot of impressive things, like the hair of those that would be killed in gas chambers (they kept it for further use in manufacture of carpets and other things), shoes, bags, everything you can imagine. I didn't like the museum, i think they exploit to much the suffering of those who passed through that horrible place. For me the most important was to see the place, the buildings, the conditions and everything.
A trip not to repeat, i've seen enough.

Cya around everyone. (next post: Trip to Praga and Budapeste) :)

Ao fim de 1 mês..

After 1 month.. So many things to say, so many stories to tell. So few time to write them. As you can see by the pictures, I've meet alot of ppl around here. Spanish, Portuguese, French, German ppl all around.
I must say, Polish ppl really kinda nice, except for that fucking drunk guys that will shout to you CURVA (bitch) with some weird face, like they are gonna hit you right away. ahah.
You can see the 1st picture, the Wroclaw town hall. its like the image from the city, it's right on the center, around it are like 1000000 pubs and discos where you can get really drunk. (beer here is so cheap..).
Ppl drink wodka here like there is no tomorrow, i think im imune to it already!
Oh well. 1 month has passed. I miss the Portuguese food, i miss my sunset on the beach, i miss my DOG!!!!!! damn.. But im enjoying it ofc. I eat well, i travel. The university is really nice, teachers as well (wonder if its because im an erasmus student), the residence where i live have nice conditions. What else could i ask for? Oh.. just a Feijoada à Portuguesa! just one!! :)
Do Widzenia my friends.

A vista da minha residência.. Estas cores matam-me!!
