I’ve been
really looking forward to this day after seeing the program. In the morning, we
had a session on experimental surgery and it was super interesting. I really
appreciated that the professors explained it in such a way that even I, a
non-medical student understood clearly. It also made me want to be operated by
the lecturers, if I ever had to undergo an operation. Or by one of my
classmates. Anyway, Cerena, if you read this, you really need to apply next
year. I’m sure you’d enjoy it a lot. This year, there were two girls from Australia, so I suppose you don’t have to be
from Europe.
Anyway, these lectures were amazing, but
unexpectedly. The thing because of which I was jumping like a happy bunny was
the visit to Atlanpole Biotherapies near Nantes.
It’s a biotech cluster and I think I just found another one of my dream jobs.
It would be insanely cool to be able to work for an organization like this.
After a short “I’ll explain what we do and how we work” presentation, we went
to see the labs and then the bus took us to Nantes center.
I admit I
had no idea if there were any monuments we could have still visited despite the
late hour, but we had very little time anyway. So as we roamed the streets, B.
and me spotted a really small bookshop and we spent a looong time inside. It
was really cool, but it looked pretty horrible - just white walls and books piled
up in several rows on each shelf. But they had many books that were really
cheap - all the classics were for like 1 - 3 E and I found several comic books for
a fragment of the price they sell them for at Fnac. It’s the first two volumes
of xxxHolic (who loves Clamp?) and the first volume of Tarot Café (manhwa I’ve
wanted to read for ages).
I took pictures of random
pretty buildings and had no idea what they are.
I dragged
B. to a local Lush shop and got two things I haven’t even seen in the Prague one - a cleanser
and a body mask. I also got the tooth paste tabs, because they cost 3 E.
They’re about 6 E or more here. >.> Then again, in Nantes you obviously don’t get any freebies
with your purchase, however B. said she sometimes wouldn’t get anything even
here in Prague (which is weird, because I always got something even if I just
bought one small thing). Our purchases could be smelled across the street, it was
pretty fragrant.
We met up
with the other girls and went to a restaurant where we got some local
delicacies. It was specialized in potatoes, so I got potato and tons of cheese.
It was really good, but there was way too much food. I took pictures of the
decoration and also of the toilets, because I’ve never seen a toilet-gallery
before.
Off topic:
It’s soooo much easier to only write the posts in one language! I gotta enjoy
it for the few more days before I have to go back to bi-lingual posts again…
Yours truly
