07 Introducing Eskisehir
It’s funny that Eskisehir literally means ‘Old Town’ but that you’ll find nothing of old around here what so ever. Modern mosques, clubs, cafes, restaurants, bridges, houses and people dominate the area wherever you go. It’s a student city. There are two big universities in Eskisehir that both hold 67.000 students every year!!! Right now it’s still a quiet city but next week everything will change, so we’ve heard.
We have been staying in Eskisehir for a few days now. It’s still pretty quiet but you can already notice it’s a real student city. We hooked up with two Erasmus girls. Aga from Poland and Pina from Slovenia. They actually knew the previous ‘Dutchies’ Mathijs, JB and Erwin. We went out several times now and had a lot of fun. It’s amazingly nice meeting all kinds of people from different countries all combined in one city. Everyone - including a lot of Turks as well - is internationally orientated. This is something I really miss at the NHL. It’s such an eye opener to stay in another country for a while. Only for this reason everyone should do it once during their studies or afterwards.
This week I shot a panoramic view of Eskisehir. I added the Panorama to the photo section in the blog. It will give you some idea of what the landscape in and around Eskisehir looks like. I’ll also ad some typical city images of Eskisehir in this blog later.
