Poland, what a beautiful experience...

Here I am,
sitting in front of the computer I started to use in the las week of October 2008.
In the lab of AGH University of Technology.
Writing probably the last words I would like to say to Poland, Polish people,
to all the people I met during this Erasmus year,
to all the people who was following me in this blog and all the ones who were supporting me during the year.

It is difficult to imagine in the beggining, how much your life will be involved in the Polish way of life,
how your habits change, how even your thoughts change after such a year.

Now, I'm coming back to Spain, to see my family, my friends, my places, my real util October-life.
But I carry a lot from Krakow, a lot of experiences, places, parties, friends, facts that will be in my mind for a long time,
and will influence me for future plans and actions...

Today when removing all the pictures from my bedroom and watching the white walls I realised that I'm really leaving this country.
A country which has treated me with respect in every moment and has given me so much life experience.
I would not like to say it, but I felt sad, really sad to leave this life, these people and culture.

I want to thank many people and I'd like to mention in this post some important names as:

A very special place is for my Polish flatmates, Bartek, Aga and Szymczak, always there, willing to chat, to help, to smile.
I really want to thank all of you all the moments we spent together, all the conversations we had, and all the advices and good words
coming out from your mouths. I know we also had not so good moments, but I think this is also making a relationship closera and stronger,
and to us more confident to each other.
With this I want to express that I'll never forget you guys. Have it sure.wherever I'll be, whenever you'll think of me, you'll now you have a friend to count on.

I also would like to thank my family, always there, willing to know what I was doing, if I was ok, following me on facebook,
sending me pictures through email, keeping me updated on everything.
They are great, and in a few days I'll be enjoying them again.
Love you!

Thanks for everything, this year wouldn't be the same without all of you guys.
Thank you for reading.
