City Hall "Ijs Paleis" |
I've now been living here for two weeks, and I am completely in love with this city! We had the first real classes yesterday, and they all seemed so interesting and fun! Last week was introduction week and we did a lot of fun stuff like going on a field trip to Delft, running around the city of The Hague and taking photos, going to introduction lectures, watching a dutch movie, partying and of course, getting to know eachother! Today is my second day of classes. I have Dutch A1 and later on Introduction to Dutch Culture and Society. I'm really excited! So far, I can really recommend people to come to The Hague, despite of all the rain we've been having. In the weekend the weather was actually pretty nice and on saturday I went to the beach in Scheveningen. What an amazing beach! You wouldn't think that of the Netherlands, haha.

I'm starting to "adapt" to the dutch ways. I've bought a bike and am now biking everywhere I go. Also, I've started listening to some dutch music (probably need to discover some new music soon, been listening to this album about a trillion times now). The food however, is a different story. With an exception of Gouda cheese I mostly eat the same food I eat in Sweden (knäckebröd etc.). I'm even going to IKEA today to buy some Lingonberry jam probably. It's really easy for me to feel at home here actually. I've found that the Netherlands is very similar to Sweden in many ways (but just a lot more happening all the time!).
