This is the University Quarter. This is part of the old university, i think. There is a story about how a very smart woman, who became king of Poland donated all her jewellery to built the university or something like that. I need to check this story. I don't remember some of it and some of it i couldn't quite here. There were a look of loud school children around and it was also raining so it was hard to gather around the guide. It's summer hols now in Poland so lots of school kids on excursions in the city. Anyway, apparently nicolas coppericus studied here.
who is nicolas coppericus?
ReplyDeleteHahahaha...
ReplyDeleteSpelling error. You know that spelling isn't exactly my strongest suit. =)
It should be Nicolaus Copernicus, a rather famous scientist / mathematician.

Icic. Will check it out when I have time. I'm sure my lecturer colleagues will know who he is. Found out another interesting thing. On the 22nd of July, my dept celebrating Pi Approximation Day. 22/7. Get it? We buying pies for tea and everyone is going to eat pies. Cool huh?
ReplyDeleteOMG, that is hilarious. I like it, Pi Approximation Day, trust the academics at the U to think of something like that.
ReplyDeleteSo what kind of pie will you bring?
