As the primary purpose of this trip was education, I present here a series of photos chronicling those good, funny and memorable times in the German section (as it is affectionately known) of the Main University library and the Eagle's Nest (balcony) of the KOG Law Library (providing a good 'overview' of 'shifting demographics') as well as other quiet areas of University buildings around town that were conducive to study.

The German section.

To break up the monotony of study, there was always Koffie, YouTube, Facebook and of course, we got by with a little help from a friend: http://www.mymagnum.com/?gold=4bf19e87734b9


A mid-study dinner from the pizzeria next door to Odessa on Hogewoerd (Sorrento's, I think), eaten on the steps of the law building. One of the best pizzas I have ever tasted, mostly due to study hunger, the knowledge that we had worked hard before it, and the Italian culinary authenticity.

One of my favourite sculptures above a stairwell in the KOG. A reference to Blind Justice and a strong powerful image that features 3 icons of legal education: the books, the scales and the sword of justice.

Babs, Thort nen, Lena and Frauke working hard.

We go to Einstein's for inspiration and encouragement. This being especially potent on Wednesday, particularly at night.

Cf. The same image taken during the mid-semester exams in cold wintry March. Also, a symbol of progress and flourishing in the library.

Thorsten 'studying' and Inga looking on.
As I later tell Thorsten: "We will make history because we studied in Leiden!"
