I am doing mathematics at Łódź University in Poland for the summer. While I am here I will write a little on this site, but it exists primarily for me to share pictures.

Our Three Day Mission in Space

or "In three dimensional space"? The professors here, luckily for us, have pretty strong English.

Dear Curious Reader,


This is our office.


One of the craziest intersections I've ever seen. There are 6 lanes of traffic in and 4 lanes out, not to mention the several sets of tram tracks. To walk all the way around it and end up where you started requires at least 7 stoplights. See that yellow car in the background? That's in the same intersection. don't even know how many islands there are in the middle. Here is is turned a little to the left.



It's hard to be out taking pictures and not end up with one of Freedom Square. It's easy to get to by tram. It's my other center of reference: I know the relation between everywhere I go and either freedom square or the dorm. Also in freedom square? A martial arts supply store! It looks exciting inside, though I have only peered in. It's intimidating to enter a store not knowing the difference between "may I help you?" and "get out of my store."



The timeless battle of Dog vs. Water. I'm not sure exactly how long this dog was entertained by trying to drink out of this... vigorous stream of water. Eventually it gave up on drinking and just tried to defeat it in combat.

Today is the beginning of Wine Wednesdays. We just need to find a place to buy it. According to trustworthy sources, a red wine (like a cab) will go best with nutella.

We are having pasta for dinner, but nutella always finds its way into our diet. It seems silly to fight it.

I hate intersections like that. Also, silly dog.
