StuerziBernd - Bernd Stuerzenhofecker

Hi, my name is Bernd Stuerzenhofecker and I study Information- & Communication Technology at the University of Erlangen. That is next to Nuernberg in the northern party of Bavaria/Germany.

But this year I make an ERASMUS study exchange at the Technical University of Hungary to improve my english, do the rest of my 4 courses I need, see the country and of course have a lot of fun during this time.

I'll probably stay here until next year because I plan to write my pre-diploma thesis here in Hungary in the winter semester.

So don't hesitate to contact me, if you come to Budapest:

Visegrad

Europe » Hungary » Budapest

Small village between Szentendre and Ezstergom, very famous for medival castle standing on the hill overlooking the Danube. VisegrÃ¡d is picturesquely situated at the exit of a loop in the Danube in the Danube Bend about 40km (25mi.) north of Budapest. This historical town is a popular destination for excursions because of the ruins of the royal palace and the views from the citadel. History The Romans took advantage of the strategic location above the Danube founding a military camp on the Sibrik Hills in the 4th C (reconstruction of a watch tower near Fo utca).

Exam Time

Europe » Hungary » Budapest

So, in letzter Zeit ist es ja en bisschen ruhig geworden um mich. Liegt aber v.a. daran, dass jetzt Pruefungen sind. Die Vorlesungszeit ging ja heute zu Ende. Gestern hatte ich dann auch schon meine erste erfolgreich Pruefung. Montag dann noch Software Quality and Control Management, sowie Freitags Database Design und Satellite & Mobile Communication. Etwas hart 2 Pruefungen an einem Tag, aber dafuer bin ich ja dann auch vor Pfingsten fertig. Die Zeit danach ist auch schon voll verplant. Muss ja noch ein paar Freunde in Debrecen und Pecs besuchen, solange die noch hier sind und ich die Gelegenheit habe. [View Full Entry]

Trip to Poland

Europe » Poland » Lesser Poland » Kraków

Krakow
Krakow from above

Last weekend we went for a trip to Poland that was organised by the esn form university. After a 9 h trip we reached the cheapest hostel in Krakow. As we were too late for dinner there we started to explore Krakow at night. So we found some snack bar's to eat and asked for some Pubs and local diskos. Surprisingliy the polish beer is quite good, I'm so use to the hungarian awful ones. Next day, the organisation was quite chaotic. No one has seen the organizer since we left the bus, so we did't know at which time [View Full Entry]

Wine Tasting Tokaj

Europe » Hungary

Climbing
the bandit waiting for his booties

The last days were really fully booked. On Friday we were rock climbing the whole day with some mentors outside in the Buda Hills. Really good and nice to learn/try it a little bit. Saturday morning I went with Andre to Tokaj - the famous white wine region in the northeast of Hungary. There had arranged to meet with the other esn-group from Debrecen. In price it is quite cheap here. Accomodation less than 7€ and beer in the Disco also only 1€. Before we started with wine tastings, we looked around in the village of Tokaj and visited the [View Full Entry]

Ostern und Geburtstag

Europe » Hungary » Budapest

Concert
A strange pyramide next to the Palace of Arts

So, auf vielfachen Wunsch werd ich wieder mal einen Eintrag auf deutsch schreiben. Ostern, mein Geburtstag und 2 Klausuren (gestern und heute) sind rum, so hab ich auch jetzt wieder ein bisschen mehr Zeit, obwohl das Wetter hier wirklich herrlich zur Zeit ist. Ostern: Los geht's erstmal mit Ostern. Was Freitag waren wir bei den Italienern zum Essen, und danach natÃ¼rlich wieder mal Flat-Party (waren auch einige Girls aus NÃ¼rnberg da, die mich und Jakob sofort am Dialekt erkannt haben) und Disco. In der Disse war's ganz lustig, da ich Burak zu ein paar Girls hingeschoben habe, und er dann [View Full Entry]

Lot of Culture at the Weekend

But first there was a big international Erasmus Party, organized by the esn (European Student Network) because of their 20th birthday. It was very cheap: Entrance and every drink 1€. And this was a good change to get rid of the 1€-coins you cannot use here. So a lot of people or almost every one (@mum: not me!!!!!) was very drunken and slept the whole day. But those who were a little bit fitter, gathered to go to [View Full Entry]

4 Tage in RumÃ¤nien

Europe » Romania » Transylvania

Auf vereinzelten Wunsch speziell meiner Eltern, gibt’s jetzt ausnahmsweise diesen Eintrag auch nochmal auf deutsch. Also wir haben gleich die Gelegenheit genutzt, da ja am letzten Donnerstag in Ungarn irgendeine UnabhÃ¤ngigkeitstag ist und es da dann sowieso immer Krawalle gibt, zu flÃ¼chten und mal einen lÃ¤ngeren Trip nach RumÃ¤nien, speziell Transilvanien zu machen. Ich hab dann auch schon frÃ¼hzeitig mit den Planungen begonnen, dass alles nach deutscher Ordnung und PrÃ¤zision ablÃ¤uft. So habe ich dann 2 Minivans fÃ¼r je 9 Leute angemietet. Waren 11 Studenten aus Budapest, 9 aus Debrecen und natÃ¼rlich noch meine Schwester Nina in RumÃ¤nien, die fÃ¼r uns [View Full Entry]
