Erasmus in Zagreb,Croatia (Part2-Favorite Coffee Shops)

Welcome to my blog again! 🙋

  In this blog, I will continue with my favorite coffee shops. So if we remember the previous blog, I was talking about the earlier days. In these days, we found some coffee shops which is my favorite part☕ (I love coffee so much!💗) there were so much of them, especially in the city center. So I want to start with the first place we explored. When we were walking down the very very long street, we got tired and I saw cofeee shop named Oranz Bistro&Wine Bar. So we decided to come in.There were so many people so we can say people love this coffee shop.😊 

  As you guess, there were also different kinds of beers and other alcohols. Zeynep and I explored a very delicious beer, actually I shouldn't say beer because later a Croatian friend told us that it wasn't made by barley as a normal beer. It was made by an apple fermantation. It tastes so good and also has normal percentage of alcohol in it. As you would know, generally flavored beer has less alcohol in it, but it wasn't. The name of beer is Stari Lisac. If you find any chance to taste it in any cafe in Europe, you won't regret.💃

   We went to K&K Milcec by a suggestion of our Erasmus Buddies. If you don't know what does it mean I should explain: Your buddy helps you with anything during your Erasmus, you can think it as an informal consultant. We were lucky because mine and Zeynep's buddy were so lovely and we all became good friends! 😍 I want to say hello to Paola and Matea. We met them at that cafe and spent very lovely time. 👭👭 

  My other favorite coffee shop was Meet Mia. I found this cafe through Google Maps and loved it! The most attractive feature of this cafe is, smoking is not allowed in it! If you don't know, in Croatia, you can smoke in closed areas like most of the cafes. However, in this cafe you can drink your cafe without any disturbance.

Hey, there! 😊

  Welcome to my blog 🙋 I would like to talk about near future. The subject is my Erasmus experience. In the 2020 Spring semester, I was supposed to be at Zagreb, doing my Erasmus. I said "was" because now I am back in Turkey.🙍 The reason is very clear if you are reading this on April 2020 but if you will read this blog later, it is because of pandemic. Corona virus has spread all over the world. It is supposedly came from China, but now it is all over the world. I hope it will get better beacause this is very serious problem. 🙏 At the first place, I thought there are so many prevention and it can't be a big deal. So I never thought it would end my Erasmus, but here we are. 😭 

  After all this complaint, I should start from the beginning. On 27th of February, I travelled to Istanbul with my parents for my flight.✈ I flew with Turkish Airlines, which is the perfect choice, I was at Zagreb about 8 a.m. Firstly, I took a bus to arrive city center and then went to my place to settle down. On that day, we had an orientation at my school. My school's name is Zagreb University of Applied Science (TVZ). So I went to the school but it was a little bit late so I couldn't find our Erasmus coordinator. Before I go, I met a friend on social media she told me everything about that meeting. I was lucky to have friend like her who was also Turkish Erasmus student at Zagreb. She went there a few days earlier than me. She was so kind to me and than we were going to spend a lot of time together. Her name is Zeynep, I love her!! 😍👭 

  At the beginning I met other Turkish friends who were also arrived before me. They showed me around the city center. At first I thought everything is similar I could get lost easily, but then realized it is not possible. 😀 I can't forget the burger we ate that day. In my country, the menu prices are pretty cheap and satisfying. Don't be afraid if you're coming from an Europian country prices won't seem that high. There are so many Pan-pek bakeries where you can buy various pastries. We loved these bakeries. 🍩🍰 I can talk about the food later if anyone will be interested. So we wandered around the city center and I bought a new Sim Card for an acceptable price. It had 10 gb internet so I could use Google Maps freely. 

  In these early days, we spent out time exploring the places to eat etc. 
So this is the end of the first part! Thank you for reading. Love you all!! 💖💖
