My home town is Śrem. It is 45 kilometres to the south of Poznań and has a population of about 31 thousand. I do not want to bore you with long descriptions of my town so I will just put the most important information about Śrem.
Although Śrem is not a big city, it has all things which a city should have:) There are many companies of different specialisations, e.g. metallurgy, furniture production, transport, window and door production, textiles and food processing. So as you can see almost everyone will find something interesting.
If we take attractions into consideration, there are quite a few of them. There are three beautiful parks where you can go and do whatever you want (do not think about stupid things:)), there are several good restaurants where you can eat delicious food and some discotheques but personally I like none of them.
If you like sport, you will be pleased with my city because it has a lot of sport facilities such as stadium, swimming pool, gymnasiums, bowling alleys and yacht club which is situated near a huge lake. Unfortunately, you have to be brave to swim in this lake because the water is awfully dirty. Recently, a new ice rink has been opened but I haven't been there yet.
As far as education is concerned, you may find a branch of Adam Mickiewicz University but you can study there only chemistry and tourism.
To sum up, I must admit that in the past I didn't like my city because it was boring for me but now when I study in Poznań I am really happy that Śrem is not as big as Poznań:)

Hehe Śrem is pretty nice:) but as far as I am concerned, I come back home just to see my lovely patents & friends as I do enjoy spending time with them. For the time being Śrem is too peaceful ;)as I found it really hard to adapt to a big city's way of live as Poznań when coming back from Śrem. Nevertheless, yes if you want to relax Śrem is a good destination.

Paulina did you notice that there is no place for as in pubs? Last time when I went out with girls I was horribly irritated to find out that almost all people were younger than me :/
ochhh hehe maybe we are just too old to enjoy nights out :)
