Kalisz is a small town, and I am from Istanbul, one of the most crowded cities in the world. Everything, from the classes to the streets and cafes, was always so crowded in Istanbul. However, during my first week in Kalisz, I was struck by how empty the town felt. After 1-2 months, I grew to love the calmness. This was my first time living alone, as I had always lived with my family before, and I’m glad it started in Kalisz.
I enjoyed the cities in Poland and their historic landmarks. I would recommend starting with Wroclaw. I also loved Krakow, a well-preserved medieval city that has everything a city needs: history, population, entertainment, and transport. During my time there, I met many new people, including Carmen, who is the sweetest person ever. The teachers were really nice. Our Neurosurgery professor took us to an autopsy. My only regret is that I did not see any snow at all. I kind of wish I came in winter. I had a great time and I look forward to telling my friends about!
