Sorry I haven't posted anything in about a month. I've been working really hard, and just completed a 45 page paper as well as a 24 page zine (http://zinewiki.com/Zine). I'm really happy with how the semester ended and the work I produced. I've already received a lot of positive feedback on my paper and presentation.
Tomorrow morning I head to Paris, where I'll be staying with my friend Matthew and his host mom for a few days. Then, on the 20th, I head to London to see some friends and fly home on the 23rd.
I've really loved living here and am going to miss Amsterdam a lot. I'll have to find a place to live with canals and bikes and millions of little dogs :) You really can't go wrong.
I'll post more pictures when I get home (or if I get wifi on the bus or train).
But here's a few funny ones:
Out on Queen's Day with my friends.
found the worlds tiniest dog in the street.
he tried to follow me home,
so i brought him back to the shop he wandered away from.
patat frites, a dutch delicacy.
grouchy while writing my paper at Latei (my favorite cafe in Amsterdam).
I went here almost everyday for the last month.
I think the staff was getting mad that 5 of us would come,
order one coffee, and sit around all day. But it's a cute place.
The aftermath of Queen's Day, a holiday where essentially everything is legal,
and the entire city becomes a street party.
I can't imagine the queen of england celebrating her birthday this way...
Some British tourists (I can't make this up, it really always is the Brits) trying to make a Queen's Day pyramid in their tiger outfits. It didn't end too well...
I'll be home so very soon with lots of stories to share!
lots of love,
Kathleen
