Stranded in The Hague

Swedish Chocolate Balls

Last night was so much fun! We were some 13 people who showed up, and there were more than enough food to go around. We had (among other things): French cheese, Bulgarian bob, Dutch poffertjes & negerzoenen, German pretzels and wine, Surinamese chicken and rice, and pumpkin pancakes from Curacao. As I wrote yesterday, I contributed with Swedish chocolate balls, cardamom crackers and Absolut vodka (we never made it to the vodka though). I was so full after all the delicious food!

Later, when some of us were going home, we realised that we missed the last bus and tram to the centre. It was over midnight, freezing cold, and we were in the middle of nowhere. It was basically one of those situations where you wished you had McGyver with you. We waited and waited, asking every buss and tram driver if we could get a ride. No, we couldn't. It was really annoying, because we saw buses and trams coming and leaving all the time to go even deeper into nowhereland, but no one to the city centre. Finally, we got a ride by a friend's grandfather who came and picked us up. Savior of the night!

Today we had a lecture in Branding, and we got a really interesting assignment that I can't wait to start with! We are supposed to develop a brand concept for an Aloe Vera drink. Exciting!
