Wow, that was probably the fastest 10 days of my life! Yeah, it's been 10 days since I've come to the Netherlands. And I am absolutely loving it. Then again, who doesn't love the Netherlands?!

Everything's been perfect so far... Ok, maybe not that perfect, finding accomodation was pretty hard and stressful but now when I look back I am able to say it was no big deal at all. Which is all that matters I guess.

If you were expecting me to have a culture shock, I would have to say you've been delusional. It's all just what I expected to be. Beautiful cities, lovely people, shitty weather :) But here are a few things I didn't expect:

The Wind: How the hell can it blow right toward you and push you back when you're cycling, regardless of the direction you're cycling to?! I love cycling, I totally didn't expect to sweat my ass off riding my bike to the campus just for 15 minutes, no. I can take the shitty weather, having all the 4 seasons during my ride may be ok, but I don't know how much longer I can take the wind, I'm just so glad I didn't come in winter.

The Extreme Courtesy: People I see on the streets are extremely kind to me somehow. They always smile, if not say hi. But from what I hear from the local people, it's not that common. Maybe it's just me, I don't know. Probably I am so obviously foreign that people feel the urge to show me some affection. Whatever it is, I am so ok with it :)

Well, this is it for the time being. Will be updating this as soon as I have the opportunity.

Tot ziens!
