Wageningen, have you ever heard about this town?
For you who study in natural science, may be you heard about it once or twice, about the University. Well, the Wageningen University and Research Center is really well-known for life science students. But not about the city. I never know about the city before. I got little story about the city from my boss-wife who spent 4 months here for her Post-Doc. But I think it's not enough.

If you ask me about Wageningen in words, I will say: suburb, farms, silent, cold, beautiful. I love it!
Just judge it yourself by these photos, please
