So another 2 weeks (ish) have passed since my last post. Time over here seems to go so much faster than it does in New Zealand. If you are an exchange student, make the most of every second. It will all be over sooner than you know :(
Anyway in this post I'm going to talk a bit about how I see the Dutch people
Firstly, in general they are really tolerant/patient and helpful. Most people at my school are really happy to help me with learning Dutch/translating Dutch in class and outside class. They are tolerant when I get things wrong inside and outside school as well, there are so many things about Dutch life I don't know about (those un written rules). My friends here are simply the best because of this. I'd be lost without their help
Dutch people are also young at heart. Last weekend I was at wedding and after the dinner, there was dancing. Now usually I'd expect the parents of the newly wed to be in to different music to the newly wed, who in turn would be in to different music of teenagers like me (the couple are in their 30s ish) But no, we all danced to Beyoncé at the same time. I was really surprised by the but it was heel luek (very fun/good)!
The Dutch also are very meticulous with their planning. They always seem to have planned their lives down to each small detail. While this is nice as you know what's happening and when, it can get tedious at times because as a kiwi I'm like 'she'll be right' all the time with everything which is just so different from this country. But its just a different culture and I ma getting use to it :)
That's about all for now. Enjoy the photos!
