The IIIEE is located about 200 m from this 1000-year old cathedral, the main landmark of Lund

Most of downtown transportation in Lund occurse by foot or bike. MESPOM students are also primarily using their bikes to get around.

Handling four currencies in a day in the process - one of those uniquely MESPOM experiences - I arrived in Lund on an overcast, gray afternoon. This is a bit unfair to Budapest, of-course. While equally beautiful, much bigger and hence with many more sights to behold and marvel, Budapest did not get a blog entry when Sachin first set foot there last year. But then, this website did not exist and Sachin does not write blogs on lesser websites! It will be a bit of cheating to write first time experiences having spent an year there. All I can write now of there are anecdotes dripping with tearful nostalgia. It's a slightly touchy topic since I'm still recovering from the parting. Will have to postpone it until it sinks in. No, dear old Budapest will just have to wait until a third batch MESPOMer obliges. (Take a hint, guys!)
