Orange Kitchen sing-a-long

Feb. 27th, 2012 12:16 am


Gotta love those Sunday night jam sessions~

Today, Albertine tried its hands at volleyball in the ACLO! It was a really fun game, despite the fact that none of use really knew how to play (though Mikko and Julie were actually pretty pro, and Esra definitely gave the ball what-for). After an hour of that, we biked back home and dug out Jamie's (nigh) deflated basketball to shoot hoops in the Noorderplantsoen. More epic funtimes! :D We also climbed on the play structures (i'm the king of the castle and you're the dirty rascal~) and climbed up some trees, earning some rather nasty stink eyes from parents, and wholehearted hero-worship from their children.

This evening, Nescip and the Turkish girls treated Orange Kitchen to a sing-a-long of sorts. Basically, Nescip brought out his ute (NB: IDEK exactly what it is; it's pronounced like U-T-E, but IDK if the spelling is anything close to correct, and I have no idea about the English name for that thing - to me, it might as well be a guitar) and serenaded us with some awesome Turkish music. Apparently, 99% of Turkish music is about love and tragic romance. Which is legit.

I AM IN HOLLAND.

WHAT THE CRAP.

Many, many photo posts up at Dutch My Life, though I feel like I could never actually textually capture the whirlwind of the last three days. Right now, I'm chilling in the Orange Kitchen with my roomie (Cindy, from China) and our neighbour Jamie (Master's student from England) and Hanna, another Master's student from Finland. I'm sleep deprived and haven't exercised properly since I left, but oh mannnnn, this is just going to be so much fun, I can't even. Last night, I went out with Jamie, Hanna, Sara (psychology student from NYC, also probably a Fan~), Francois (from Belgium), and a couple other people whose names I don't remember exactly atm, but who are all awesome!  Had my first Dutch beer - but was dumb enough not to take a picture of it, so I don't know what it was called.

Today was the first day of the Welcoming  Ceremonies. We got so much paper and free food - and free beer! (I can't get over how cheap the stuff is here... good thing I don't like it :/). IDK, it's just been so busy, and ESN week is on Friday, and classes start on Monday - I don't even know how I'm going to handle this, but oh my god, I am jjust so excited and whelmed to be over here, I have no words.

THIS EXCHANGE IS GOING TO BE SO INTENSE. :D
