Barcelona - Beloved city


Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain after Madrid.
 I lived in Barcelona for two years; as a result, I studied my master degree of International Business there. The reasons because I felt in love with this fashionable city are: arquitecture, nightlife, beautiful beaches, tasty food, football and so many friends from around the world.
First, the art and arquitecture that you can appreciate in this city is amazing. Gaudi, who is a famous arquitect in Barcelona, designed the Sagrada Familia Temple, Parc Guell, Casa Batllo which are the most important main attractions in the city.
In addition, the Football Club Barcelona, which is the best football team from Europe, is a mainstream around the world.  Whenever a game takes place, the stadium which is called Camp Nou is crowded of fans who become crazy to support the team. Moreover, nightlife is amazing most of the best cool bars are along the beach which is called Barceloneta. The beach is just 10 minutes by walking far from the downtown.
Definitely Barcelona is not only the perfect place to live as a student, but also the perfect place to spend the vacation that anyone can dream.

Toulouse – La Ville Rose



Toulouse, 4th town of France and economic capital of southern France, is also the European centre of aeronautic and space industry. The headquarters of Airbus are located there. There are a lot of places that you can visit such as Garonne River which is on the site of an ancient Roman settlement; even today many of the smaller streets and the red brick buildings are from this Roman style. These buildings are also what give Toulouse its nickname La ville rose (The pink city).

In addition to the main places to visit, you can taste not only rich food and good wine but also enjoy the slow living that is what this city of southwest France is all about.
Toulouse has an important meaning in my life; as a result that I lived there for almost one year in order to learn French. I used to study in the Alliance Francaise a Toulouse which is one of the most well-known learning language schools around the world.
