of course it is in dutch, but welcome to the world wide web and google translate :) you will get the basic idea.
I have also discovered ice skating. outside over the canals. Pretty much the coolest thing ever! I will be the next World Ice Skating Champion! I mean i might not be able to stop on my ice skates yet but...i can go fast. that is how you win right?
In other news. All the new exchangees have arrived in Holland, there is 11 of them from the southern hemisphere. I have one super awesome brazilian in my town, Maria. It is quite sad to see their year beginning and mine coming to an end. BUT! i still have 5 months. LOTS can happen in those 5 months!
I am going skiing at the end of this month with my host family in Austria. I am super excited. hopefully i won't die.
