A Network of Friends!
Throughout the period I spent in Poland I met many people from all over the globe. Students from around the world gathered by the IAESTE in Poland to do their internships and moreover to interact with different cultures.
I cannot count the people I met there. However I made new friends, with who I really enjoyed my time there. We talked, spent our free time, visited many places, had breakfast, lunch and dinner, partied and even traveled together.
Here, I introduce you to my new friends sequentially (according to the time we met) and I promise them - again - that I will keep in touch with everyone of them.

Ania
The first lady I greeted when I got off the train when I reached Gdansk. Ania and her colleague Stefan were waiting me at Gdansk Wrzeszcz train station. After a long trip from Amman, Istanbul, Warsaw and finally Gdansk, I reached my final destination extremely exhausted but I was glad that I made it!
Ania accompanied us during our stay in Gdansk. We went to many places and we had a lot of fun! |

Julian
He was with me in the same train that arrived to Gdansk! But we met when we got off the train of course. Ania and Stefan took us to our dorm and Julian and I were room mates for a month; until the time he left Poland back to his home country.
Julian and I were the first trainees to reach Gdansk. Ania and Stephan introduced us to the city and we visited some places during the weekend before we started our internships. |

We met him when we reached the dorm. He is a colleague of Ania in the IAESTE committee at Gdansk Polytechnic and he lives in the same dorm which we were in.
Arek always helped us when we needed anything. Moreover, most of the time we went out together with his friends - who became our friends as well - to change air and enjoy our time. |
