It was emphasised that the choice was based on quality not price. Within the centre of Ypenberg, where flats have been built around the old shopping centre, densities ware at their highest. <br><br>In the afternoon we visited Ecolonia, initiated in 1989, it is a demonstration project incorporating<br>the ...

... keys had been found, and we also found a 50-euro bill under the platform for the ride. So Sahara, being the smallest one crawled under and grabbed it (I don&#8217;t even want to think about what she crawled through!). Afterwards we headed for the LLC, stopping for Thai egg rolls (although I think they were more meat rolls) and ended up in a street party from one of the bars. There was also a desperate search for one last oliebollin, but all the ...

... told for normal Dutch weather. Our TAs are also trying to plan a trip to a Cheese Farm for us. We will get to see (and more importantly taste) the cheese and see how the wooden shoes are made.<br><br>Today our big excitement, and the source of most of my pictures, was our boat tour of the the canals of Leiden. The tour was a lot of fun, and a great way to spend 2 hours. Of course there were a lot of bridges to go under, some with some VERY low ...

... left. Live and Learn. Oh, and we will be walking by there with our hands by our faces for the next few weeks. We finally found a cheap place serving middle-eastern food, with side orders of Orieda French Fries, for 6 euro. Much better!! Sunday night was wrapped up with a pint of cider at the English Pub down the street and a stroll along the canals.<br><br>Tuesday night we had our first class, Introduction to International Relations. I left ...

... the man didn't speak a word of English. Irina told me to use the one Dutch phrase that I learned - "Hoeveel is het?" How much is it?, not realizing that the man would of course answer us in Dutch! After much confusion, he pointed us on our way to another shop where the owner spoke English :) Our bike will be fixed on Monday. <br><br>At night, we went out to a bar for a bit where a man (Francois pictured here ...

... oh well. Been there, done that. I hiked back to this awesome library thats 7 stories tall to use the internet! weee. Not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow since its going to poor down raining...but lets be honest, I'm used to the rain! I think its rained 25 days out of the 36. We brought the rain to Berlin(we are so nice since they were in a drought). The first day in amsterdam it rained ...

... that covered the secret stairwell all those years ago. Once upstairs I got to stand in Anne Frank's living room, kitchen and even her bedroom and saw pictures she herself put on the walls. I have never experienced anything quite like that before, and fear I never will again. Anne Frank was a hero in her own right, and it is well preserved at that museum. The next stop was the Van Gough Museum. Very interesting, and lots ...

... to uploading anything. I'll do it when we get home. Drinking some fine beverages on draught and enjoying the Dutch sun.. quite a few degrees cooler than Budapest. Thankfully. Planning to visit a brewery today located in an old windmill. Should be pretty cool. Home on Monday. I'll try to get more pics to ya soon. Love to all. Kisses to that tiny dog.. we miss her.

... if you were sitting in a different century. 18th, 19th - take your pick! Of course, this beautiful image was ruined when 2 guys rode by on a single bike. The way they were sitting was very strange and can only be described as being like the Ambiguously gay duo, Ace and Gary!!! The entrée arrived - succulent suckling pig chops with a flavourful chorizo-like sausage, served atop a mound of mashed potatoes and surrounded ...

... S. Burroughs, Ed Sanders and Amiri Baraka, and John's perspective of Prison as Political Prisoner, mad-to-talk fellow freaks (particularly Abbie Hoffman and the Yippies), and the pervasive psychic &amp; spiritual obliteration of psychedelics. OBLITO IN TOTO. The very phrase Guitar Army describes the same phenomenon Abbie dubbed Woodstock Nation. We not only had our own culture - music, books, art (including comics and posters), film and video, press, radio - but we had ...
