So, the other day my friend and I, Melanie found these houses near Leidseplein area that represent the architecture of seven different countries, but there was only actually 6(??). It was really cool, but honestly, looked kind of out of place and weird because they were "new" buildings, on a street with old buildings. I guess it's not something you see every day that's why it's cool. Before seeing the houses we had met up with another au pair, Tanya (who's from Australia, and is a blast) and went to the Rijksmuseum. I'm not a huge museum/art person but I found it interesting. You cannot have phones or cameras out, security will literally tackle you. It's strange. I guess because the "Nightwatch" painting was sliced a long time ago, and ever since then they've been anal about security, because you never know who has a knife in their phone OR camera.
I'm missing lots of small things right now. I'm having my mother send me a special type of chapstick that you cant buy here, my curling iron, dental floss, dental threaders, GUM, hand sanitizer, and crest white strips. So sad, I know.
I'm going to Maastrict this Saturday. It looks to be a beautiful city, so I'm sure that there will be some pictures to follow. We're departing at 7am on Saturday, and then catching the last train at midnight. This past weekend I went out, and didn't get home until 9am. Due to wrong information on the official GVB website. My friend and I took at nap at 5:00am in Central Station because it was freezing, then thought the trems (trams) came at 6:00am. Nope, mine definitely came at 7:34am. I was dying, basically. It was freezing. While we were waiting we saw the weirdest people, but then there are totally normal people like us waiting to catch their trem home because they've stayed out all night too. Usually I go home earlier than 6am, but we thought we'd stay out because there were a couple special events going on at a club. My Mother is probably freaking out right now. But don't worry Mum, it's safe. I promise.
