First of all, I want to say - thank you! to all the guys who sent me some e-mails :) It is really nice to know that someone appreciates what I am doing and is interested in it. What is more, some of you asked me pretty important questions (thank you Margo ;)) to which I will keep answer answering in my posts and e-mails.
I believe there are many unclear things about The Netherlands, The University or my program. Well, I'm sorry but I still don't have all the answers. However, it is a pleasure for me to give you the ones I do. So - keep asking!
Now, I apologize if this is not on the top of your priority list, but I've just finished a looong homework and I need to relax a little by starting with this question: 'What do you and your colleagues do in your free time? Are there many leisure activities?' <= You can't imagine!!! It is a lot of fun round here, trust me! My intention is not to bore you so I won't repeat all the opportunities that the university offers. But I highly recommend you to check at least the videos on the web-site (if, of course you still haven't done it) :P
So if you are more or less like me and you can't stay at home for a long periods of time - you will certainly like the life here. Usually, there is something interesting every day of the week. Sometimes is so hard for me to decide where to go. There are live music performances almost every night, almost everywhere (for every different taste!), loooots of parties with or without dress-code..(chuckle) And you know that we have the beach where all kind of events take place regularly. The Hague is also a perfect shopping spot :P But this, as well as cinemas, theaters, art exhibitions etc. is related to your budget (most of the things I listed are gratis). For tourism lovers - lets start with Delft, Leiden, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Utrecht and continue with the rest of the Dutch cities located nearby (I'm saying nearby because in The Netherlands even the most distant place is a few hours away). If that is still not enough fun for you - then jump to Belgium or Germany :P About the libraries and the bookstores - still can't believe how many hours I spent there..I'm completely unable to resist..
Last but not least - the sports.. wow.. that's a topic for a whole new post! Anyway,I was worried at first that I won't be able to practice ski or snowboard here (as Holland is famous with how flat it is :P). And, yes, they have (artificial) slopes here <:D
Well, that was how I entertain myself in brief. However, if you are into something else - probably you can find it here. What might be a problem is how you manage your time. But, in awhile, you will learn how to do it properly.
