Volgograd is a miracle city itself. When I was a child, I used to hear sad stories about Stalingrad(Volgograd), how it was destroyed and brought to the ground during the World War II. Now it's really amazing to see how the Russians got together and brought back this city of miracles from the city of ashes. What I won't clearly forget about this trip was the fun that we had together put aside our differences," said Pamod Wickramanayaka, student of the Control Systems and Computer Science in Engineering program.
