First Impressions of Ostrava

Hi everybody.

The differences between Prague and Ostrava are huge.
Here in Ostrava you have a street named "stodolni" full of pubs and klubs, really crazy! In Prague is different, you should choose one place to go because it's hard to go from one pub to another during the night, they're not so close.
On the other hand, during the day, Prague is far better than Ostrava. Ostrava is a "little" city, compared to Prague. Prague is magic, always full of life and with a lot of cultural events happening. Ostrava is also a big city (compared to Aveiro), but is mostly an industrial city... there's not so much animation during the day.

Currently I'm at the residence hall. There are 3000 people living here, it's crazy! You can party every night... but as you know, that's not what I'm looking for in Erasmus. I want to communicate, to know interesting people.
I've a single room! For now... probably my room mate will arrive in the next days, unfortunately. I'll try to get used to it, but probably I'll try to rent a flat, I want my own room to receive people and to be alone.

I'll miss so much the people I've know in Prague. It was a great month, exactly what I was waitting for. I went to Radiohead's concert (with my sweet little finnish friend Saara), I've known a lot of interesting people, I've known a great city that I'll visit more than once during this year and I learned a little bit of the Czech language (which will be helpfull during this year).

There's a problem here in Ostrava - too much portuguese people. I don't want to speak portuguese and, mostly, I don't want to communicate with people that went to Erasmus just to try to "bang" (and I'm sorry for the expression) foreign girls. They are the typical guys that have just half of the human brain (or less) and they can't have a serious or interesting conversation with someone. I think that I'll try to avoid they're company...

Well, now it's time to go to sleep, tommorow I'll have the first meeting with my Erasmus coordinator and I want to be prepared.

Goog night and good luck.

P.S. - (I promise that I'll post some photos here soon... I still don't have internet, I'm using the computer from a guy who lives next to me).
