22:45 Jia Ying 0 Comments


The Poznan Tourist Organisation in cooperation with several hotels, restaurants and musuem offer half price in  one of the weekend last month. 
I was grabbing this chance to visit one of the classy Polish cuisine restaurants in Poznan. 
Billy Goat Inn Restaurant ( Gospoda pod Koziołkami) , located in Stary Rynek, Poznan
It's specializes in polish cuisine dishes which consists of many centuries and many culture cuisine tradition. 

The promotion menu is mainly grill-based dish. After half price promotion, it's affordable by us as a poor student....Haha!!


A unique atmosphere created by medieval times interior, Grill cellar in this restaurant have great historic background behind . The wall is all by real brick. 


Waiting for our dish coming~~~ The menu is well designed like a adventure map.  

Typical old polish sour soup with an egg. 
It's not so salty, not so sour even it is sour soup. Generally, I like it....

This is my main dish today~~~
Grilled Salmon in smoked salt crystals with a hint of orange, baked potatoes, grilled broccoli, cauliflower and carrot, lemon sauce. 
The salmon is fresh, taste awesome~~The ingredients used were chosen wisely...  
This dish made my day!!!haha :D

My friend ordered this main dish~~~
 Spare Ribs in Spicy Sauce served with grilled jacket potatoes and braised sauerkraut.
According to my friend, she can't taste any spicy , even the ribs is in Spicy sauce.
Hmm, yes,it's always happen in Europe. The spicy hot level is always not as expected.

Student Parade in Poznan

20:30 Jia Ying 0 Comments

Every year of  May, Poznan will have student festival,
Some universities will organize the festival.
Seriously, it's a bit out of my imagine...( Student festival in Malaysia is not like here~~)
The common thing I saw in festival will be rock or heavy metal band concert, BBQ, beer, beer and still the BEER.
Personally I don't like beer so much, but the youngster in Poland is really a good drinker!!
and generally I observed some trends in Poznan,
Youngster will be active in late night, having fun in club, bars and drinking beer.
Old people will be active in morning, like to listen philharmonic concert,
Some old people even collected the bottles and cans of beer; personally think that they are going to make small money with their collection.  

Ok, come back to student festival; one of the main highlight is the parade, which will join by all universities and high institution in Poznan.
According to my Polish Friends, every university will have their theme, and the student will wear based on the theme. There are award for best dress with theme....It's look fun...
Didn't able to snap more photos....some photo below are from the organizer FB page.

My university, University Adam Mickiewicz .


Candy-theme....

Student in Poznan are really crazy....I'm crazy too~~~ and I really scare of drunk guy in Poznan during day...It's disgust~~

Wao, Chemical theme~~ Are they.......








The parade end when the students reached the venue for band concert. and again the beer stall is the largest!!! Haha~~

Last but not least , I with my classmates in the festival.

Museum in Poznan and the Zoo

06:17 Jia Ying 0 Comments

Every city have their history, museum is one of the place to discover the history of a city.
Most museums are free entrance for every Saturday in Poznan, Poland.
Some museums are interesting, some are boring (just my opinion~~);

1.Museum of the History of Poznan.
Situated in the center of Stary Rynek (Old Market Square),
In history, this building is a city hall, somehow like a government office.



The symbol of Poznan - billy goats. 

Unique design of ceiling in City Hall. 



 2.Archaeological museum
Honestly, I felt this museum boring.
Mainly because all information and detail in exhibition are in Polish,
There are many exhibition, divided into several part.
Besides that, there are some interactive games for children in this museum.


Chess set always drawn my attention. Something interesting in this musuem. ( but I don't know the background and history of this chess set, since I don't understand Polish.....Hmm =.=)



 3.Museum of Musical Instrument 
I have a high expectation on this museum, since I'm classical music lover;
There are many collection of musical instruments, especially string instruments.
again lack of description and information in English,
Besides western musical instrument, there have some traditional instruments collection from Asia and America.



The main highlight of the museum will be this grand piano, which was used by famous composer from Poland, Chopin during concert in Antonin. 
Look at the keyboard on the piano, the black white keys is totally reversed from the piano we known nowadays. 




 4.Military Museum of Wielkopolska. 
Not a big musuem, display some military items.


Poland national coat of arms ...white eagle with a golden beak and talons, and wearing a golden crown, in a red shield.



5.Gallery of Painting and Sculpture 
Located in 2 buildings
Historic wing shown the gallery of Polish Art from 16th-18th century, Gallery of Medieval Art and Ancient Art.
Modern wing shown Polish art ranging from Renaissance, Romanticism, Impressionism and symbolism.


Some contemporary art.


The only painting by Claude Monet in Poland - Beach in Pourville. ( Many Monet collection can be found in musuem in France. haha~~) 



6.New Zoo
In Poznan, there are 2 zoo.
Visiting zoo is a daylong excursion, and suitable in Spring and Summer season.
but sadly, most animals still not actively "show" to us ( the weather on the day I went is still quite nice~~)
Suddenly I felt I'm like a children when I still excited to see the animals in zoo....LOL~~




The deers


Feel young and energetic in the Zoo. hahaha~~ cute Polish children~~


Animals just walking around us....It's not kept in the cage~~ aha!!


It's not my 1st time to see elephant , but this is my 1st time to see the elephants to have this kind of pose...


Special species of monkey....I can't remember this species name.
It's look sad to be kept in the cage....T.T


The Kangaroo....It's so thin and small~~~ and I can't see their pocket.....


I can feel the lively, energetic Poznan when Spring and Summer are coming~~
The flower, the fountain , the sun !!!!




That all~~

Study @ Poznan, Poland

00:00 Jia Ying 0 Comments


Many people know that I went to France to study my Master degree,
But, many people don't know why I stay in Poland now.
The Master Degree I studied now is an Erasmus Mundus Programme,
The uniqueness of this programme is the mobility to at least 2 universities from 2 different European countries ( It's a collaboration of 4 countries Universities) 
It's mean every semester, I will go to a new country, to know a new place...
So, my 1st semester, in France , you can read back my post before http://mush4crazy.blogspot.com/2012/11/study-paris-france.html

and now, 2nd semester, I chose Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland. 
Poznan, well known as students' city ( every 5 people in Poznan, one will be student ) 
Poznan is not a very famous tourist city in Europe, but it's the best city in term of learning atmosphere and public transport. ( from students.pl) and also the various privileges and discounts that a student can have. 
The university name- Adam Mickiewicz is from the name of a  famous polish poet.
To know more about Adam Mickiewicz University, you can go to this website: http://amu.edu.pl/en/

Poland is one of the European countries, but this country not using Euro,
There have their money currency- Zloty. ( 1.00 Zloty = around RM1.00) 
I'm confusing when I just reached Poland. 
It's interesting that this country have 9 different value of coins. 


Poland has low cost of living if compare to other European countries.
Many thing here are generally cheaper, especially beer~~
It's so normal to see that in most restaurant and bars, beer, coffee,juice, plain water have almost the same price. ( That why polish people like to drink beer, and they are hardly drunk...)

To proof that you are still a student, identity card is always need
Lalala~~~ I'm still a student and forever young!!! Hahaha~~~
It's a bit sad that student card is a bit simple and non-electronic...



Come to a new country, learn a new language...
One European country, one language.
Adam Mickiewicz University have it's campus spread in many areas in Poznan.
Faculty Chemistry and the place to learn language is totally different building in different area; You need to take tram to go from Faculty Chemistry to Language class.
Honestly,for me, polish language is hard to learn, especially the pronunciation.... :(


The building of Faculty Chemistry is very new, just started using this few years
I like the modern design of the faculty. Another special about this building is their huge transparent window.


Practical session- It's seem like easy, but somehow it's difficult....


Laboratory


Really BIG organic laboratory. It's also annoying that I need to walk a lot when I want to get some apparatus & materials...etc....


University Restaurant food- Food was nicely present (it's really give you a good 1st impression)
Taste- average;  Price- average


Tea session with my lecturer,tutor and classmates. 
Most polish people are friendly, even though their English proficiency might not so good, 
but they tried their best to make you understand what they mean. 


After a tired day in University, It's time to go back home~~ 
Sunset~~ On the way back to home.....


It's seem like most Poland city will have a old market square ( Stary Rynek). Many nice design, colorful,historic building and shop will usually surround the square. It's always the main tourist attraction for each cities in Poland. 


Last but not least, haha!! Again, it's me in the entrance of Faculty Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University
