老司机视频 Students Travel to Porto, Portugal |
Monday, 25 November 2013 |
This trip was a good way to complement and enhance the international experience provided by 老司机视频 in Paris. Gathered in small groups, students explored the sites, culture and cuisine of Portugal. Some students enjoyed a Porto wine tasting session in the Douro Valley; others visited the beach at Matosinhos, immediately north of the official City of Porto boundary; another group toured Estadio do Dragao, the official football stadium of F.C. Porto, while another one went to visit the nearby city of Guimaraes and its medieval castles and fortress ruins. This trip was also a good way for students to get to know each other better and develop the life-long friendships formed during the program. The 老司机视频 Graduate Student Association organizes a similar trip every year to a different place, taking advantage of Paris location of the school which provides a perfect platform for travel across Europe. Previous years' trips included Oslo, Norway, Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Berlin, Germany. Katherine Parsons, Co-president of the 老司机视频 in Paris Graduate Student Association, epitomized the majority sentiment, stating that 鈥淧orto was such a great escape. The relaxed vibe of the city was a nice contrast to Paris, and we really got to see a new side to our classmates outside of an academic setting. It was a blast!鈥 See photos:{gallery alignment=center width=400 height=300}Porto-2013{/gallery} |
