Chess.
There is a great little park, not to far from the University, filled with many cool things. Last Sunday two of my friends and I decided to go and try to get in a few games of chess before the sun went down. We found an available playing board, and the cool part is that these boards are about 3 meters long! The chess pieces are freely available (honer-system) and there aren't any fees associated with playing here in the park. It was quite pleasant to see so many people (mostly older guys that seemed to take their chess a bit too seriously) walking around these boards, carrying pieces as large as an 4-year old child! I really enjoyed the time we spent there, and to be honest it was challenging playing chess with a perspective like this.

Near the chess boards, there is a nice restaurant and bar - and of course I had a 50cl beer in my hand while I walked around the "battlefield". Many locals were hanging out inside the restaurant, listening to the live piano music and chatting away in various languages. I think this will be my new autumn hangout!
