Orchestra of the city of Krakow

Last year, when I visited Krakow, Poland, I went to see a performance by the Orchestra of the city of Krakow. I have never been to any of these shows or concerts before even though I am a big fan of classical music. Tickets were cheap and my evening was free, why not I said to myself. I do not regret it. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I am no judge when it comes to music but in my opinion they were flawless. It was simply beautiful to say the least. It took place at St. Peter and Paul Church, which is beautiful by the way and lasted about an hour and I enjoyed it from start to finish. I could listen to them all day. Luckily that is possible because I recorded the whole thing, well almost everything.

Here are some photos and a video embedded of them performing

Hope you enjoyed it as well.

One Year Anniversary!!

         Hi guys, today marks one year since I started this blog. Yes, today one year ago, I wrote my first post. I can't even believe that time has flown past this fast. I was in Kenya by this time last year. I started this blog to keep an account of things, places I visit, my experiences in general in my final 2 years of school. For posts on Kenya, I'll leave the links below.

    If you are just stumbling on this blog, just a recap for you. I am a medical student (final year now...YAY) with a love for travel and photography. This blog is a way of bringing this three aspects together. As I said earlier, I started this blog for me, so that in some distant future I can recapture these times in my life.

  Somehow, I can bring these aspects of my life together. My school allows students to take some Hospital practices outside the university and so I just make the most out of that. As a matter of fact, thats what I was doing in Kenya last year. This summer, for the last 5 weeks, I have been in a small town in Sweden called Uddevalla. It is part of Surgery rotation. The experience has been very positive as I found that swedish people are extremely nice even though I couldn't speak the Language (a very large percent of Swedish people speak English ). The doctors were all kind, just ask and they'll help. For that I am extremely grateful and pleased that I came here.

As for photos, I am extremely sorry that I have no photos. I have not carried my camera for about 3 months, for personal reasons I guess, maybe it's just lack of motivation or inspiration. I hope I can get to taking photos soon.

I will leave you with this one photo. It is of the Uddevalla bridge, very pretty, isn't it?

The rest of Krakow

I'm so sorry that it has taken me forever to post the rest of the Krakow photos. I have been super busy with school and have very little time right now.

A photo of the huge church in the Rynek square.

This is the other bridge, adjacent to the 'love padlock bridge' for cars and trams and pedestrians as well.

Beautiful Sunset.

On our last night in Krakow, we went to have the Polish hot red wine called Grzani. 

Eger Basilica/Catheral, Hungary

Last Sunday I went on a school organised trip to Eger, Hungary. We visited a lot of sights in Eger among which include the Eger Basilica. I decided to make this post separate from the rest because I took a lot of photos. To check out the rest of my trip click HERE.

The Basilica in Eger is the second largest in Hungary, which has a dome shape. It was built in 1831-37. It is open to visitors. Inside the Cathedral, there are a lot of paintings on the ceiling. There are also a number of sculptures. Its a really beautiful building. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to see and experience it and to take photos as well.

I took different views of the exterior.
