On the 7th of February I finally went to the first event organized by Vila(UAB'S campus). Arrived to the meeting point really awkward and shyly introduced myself to the others. Was quite interesting that the majority Erasmus students are people just like you, left their countries for a semester to experience life and explore and only a few came in groups rather than alone. So we all felt the same way, and could understand each other. Apparently we all found it hard to get to Bellatera and the first day was quite exhausting for all.
There are so many international students from all over the world, Europe, Asia,America and Australia, loved the cultural diversity! I think what connects us the most is the adventurous spirit and the thirst to explore as all are fans of travelling!
First of all, we visited Sant Pau(first Sunday of the month entrance is free!), a must if you visit barcelona!
Overall, the trip was quite interesting, we were walking for so many hours but was totally worth it! In just a few hours we explored so many places in Barcelona and got to know each other! So If there are any tours when you go Erasmus do not miss the opportunity!

And a group photo of all of us!
Therefore we made our stop at Sagrada Familia (although we didn't get in). There is entrance fee in Sagrada Familia and a very long queue so If you ever plan to visit, make sure to book in advance online!
Afterwards took the train and arrived at Placa Espanya, there is a show where the fountains are but we were unlucky as it was under construction.
In placa Espanya, we "visited" the art museum("visited" as I was really hungry and pretty much ran away to the mall to had my lunch right after the photo was taken-GUILTY!)
In the photo below you could see my new Korean beautiful friend Yie Rim, at the top of the Mall "Las Arenas". Las Arenas used to be a bull ring, but it's now forbidden in Catalonia to have full fights as they respect animals so they turned it into a commercial centre!
Afterwards we visited Montjuic Hill and had some great views. Below a photo with my friend Lisa from Austria! Will never forget how so many people were stuck in a bus.! Had to stand on the tip of my toes and hold my bag on top of my head because we took over a whole bus!
And lastly, we visited Olympic Stadium in Barcelona and enjoyed the sunset! Had some great views once again and had a really nice time!
