Thursday evening, I took the bus from Lisbon to Coimbra to visit Regina, the other Portuguese girl that I met in Turkey last summer. She studies at the pharmacy faculty Universidade de Coimbra (University of Coimbra) which is actually a World Heritage Site. Coimbra is basically the definition of a U.S. college town, they refer to it as "the city of students" and "the city of doctors" (because it used to be the only medical school in the country). In simplistic terms, the closest analogy for me would me like how State College exists largely because Penn State University is there. Since it is during the summer, many of the students are now at home and the city was less busy than it would be during the semester. We visited the university and toured several of the preserved rooms from when the school was originally built. Regina explained to me many of the school's myths and traditions as we wandered around the campus. For instance, they have a school uniform that includes a long black cape worn on the shoulders. If you're thinking that sounds like Harry Potter, you might be right! Turns out J.K. Rowling lived in the Portuguese city of Porto and the uniforms the students of Hogwarts wear are rumored to be inspired by the Portuguese university uniforms she saw during her time there. Visiting the library, in particular, was breathtaking with its beauty of intricate design and the shear volume of old books collected there. Interestingly enough, it houses many bats that do not cause problems but rather they eat any bugs/moths that enter the library helping to rid of pests that may damage the works of literature. Photos were not allowed inside many of the rooms we visited, so feel free to click on the link above to gain an idea of what was seen. I also ate another traditional Portuguese meal, Francesinha, which I was skeptical about at first but it turned out to be delicious, of course. The rest of my time in Coimbra we spent walking around the various streets with Regina just talking and catching up. We were able to see the oldest pharmacy in Coimbra, which is still in operation, and is also most likely one of the oldest in all of Portugal. Afterwards, we packed up our things and met several students from Regina's faculty to take the train to Figueira da Foz for the Student Exchange Program (SEP) Weekend! Pharmacy students from many countries including Serbia, Poland, Spain, Hungary, Turkey, and even the United States (one from California, the other from Indiana) are here to spend the weekend socializing at the beach.
