Politically Incorrect Juwenalia!

This photo was taken by a friend a couple of days ago in town. It shows a few more Juwenalia students in fancy dress. Could you imagine people dressing up like this in the UK...in such a politically correct country?!

Many thanks Andrew for the photo!

The Attack of the Killer Pussy Cats (or Juwenalia)

It's that time of the year again when most of the university students don fancy dress and roam the streets in search of beer money (well asking fellow passers-by for a kind donation!). Some of the costumes this year have been rather imaginative...we've already spotted a mobile phone, 2 guys dressed as a tank and even a guy looking like a carrot!!

The other day, we were waiting at the traffic lights, on our way to Inowrocław, when we were pounced upon by these black cats (well I actually thought they were bunnies at first)...must need my eyes examined!! LOL!!

More desperate students!

Once again, the streets of Toruń were full today with costume-clad students trying to earn a few extra cash towards their beer. Last night there was or at least should have been a huge student concert near the university...but the weather was sooooo bad. Hours and hours of heavy showers. What a wash out!!

GETTING THEIR BEER MONEY!!!

It's that time of year again...when the students dress up in crazy costumes and beg for money. Not to raise for charity...but simply to fund their beer drinking lifestyle!! At least they're honest...and many people are quite happy to give them some cash. This year's JUWENALIA is shaping up to be a fun event with many incredible and ingenious costumes (though perhaps too many witches and goblins!!).

Copernicus comes alive!

Here is the great man himself Nicolaus Copernicus in front of the famous statue that commemorates his life. But why is he carrying a bag of money in his right hand?!!! Well...OK...its not Copernicus...but a university student dressed up as him!!!

This weekend, it was the annual student piss-up "Juwenalia" where students dress up in costumes and literally beg for their drink money!!! It's funny as most of the citizens of Toruń willingly give their cash away to the students...but its a different matter with the homeless. Then again the students do only beg once a year!!!

If the young student behind this costume happens to visit Toruń Daily Photo, please leave a comment and let us know how your night went!!!
