My Second Week in Amsterdam
Tags:amsterdam video blogSo I’ve been here for over a week now. Check out what I’ve been doing:
I’ll post more photographs and also put them on a map (so it’s like you can go around Amsterdam via Google Maps but see my pictures) at some point.
Video Blog: ESN/VUniverse ISI Days
Tags:amsterdam video blogThe “International Student Introduction Days” are an event that the ESN group puts on every year, and it was really fun and better than I was expecting. I met tons of people, and everyone was really cool, especially the Dutch people. Check it out:
In the video I forget to mention we went to a brewery after the historical museum (I had red wine, ha), and I also forgot to mention that I went to a mall last Wednesday and picked up a Dutch mobile phoen.
BTW my internet started working again, but I haven’t had a chance to upload pictures. I took some cool ones today in the woods, though, so those should be nice.
Virtual Tour of My Dorm Room in Amsterdam
Tags:My dorm’s actually just south of the city on the tramline at the start of the southern suburb of Amstelveen. Even though this building is old and in need of some maintenance (enough that the DUWO housing materials actually say they plan to demolish it in a few years), it’s nice. Compared to let’s say Rhodes hall, I like it. Shared bathrooms/kitchens, but whatever works. BTW, rent here with everything included (with cable tv and internet) and fully furnished is €265/month. Cheap, huh?
It’ll be cozier when I get a few more things by mail that I couldn’t fit into my luggage.

Chickpea Stew with Quinoa (Gluten-Free)
Tags:gluten free mediterranean vegan vegetarianThis is one of my favorite dishes that France-Lee makes. Originally a stew served with rice and cheese on top, it’s far better as given here. You can also eat it with a bed of cous cous.
