I Am For Real.


So, my friend Abi was here this past week and we had a lot of fun. I showed her around Amsterdam (which you can do very quickly), and then one day we hopped over to Antwerp, Belgium for a day. I had real Belgian chocolate, and real Belgian wafels. They were delicious. The weather was really, really, really nice when Abi was here. She must have brought the good weather with her, because up until then it had only been about a high of 50 degrees. Today it's sunny but windy as hell. Windy as in you can barely stand up straight outside. It definitely makes riding your bike fun. I shouldn't be still wearing my pea coat at the end of March. But, I'm currently not because it's at the dry cleaners because I got shat on by a pigeon. I hate hate hate pigeons. They freak me out. So getting pooped on by one was just the icing on the cake, let me tell you. 

I, in 8 days am going to Barcelona. From 8 April to 11 April. I don't speak any Spanish. Uno, dos, tres. That's about it. I'm just going by myself because I always have time off that no on else has off, so I just decided to go for it. Then I come home and on 14 April I go to Japan to visit my parents in Tokyo, untill 22 April. I then have more holiday from 1 May to 9 May, and then from 12 May to 16 May I'm going to Paris again with one of my friends Delaney. We're taking a bus. It takes about 7 hours, but it was the cheapest way of going and I think it will be fun if you go with someone you know. Pretty scenery. Then it's June. And then I come home. 

Anyways, here are pictures from Belgium and Abi's visit. 




This was a design store called "Droog" it was really cool and it features young designers trying to get their work out there.





Chocolate shop in Amsterdam. The lady was SO nice in there that she scolded me for taking a picuture and wouldn't let me take another one. (??)


Lunch by a canal because the weather was so nice. I do this everytime the weather is nice. It's great.






Huge houses behind Vondelpark!








Antwerp Centraal Station

P.S.

I hate blogging...and uploading those pictures took me forever. So I'll most likely only blog from now on when I have something to say or post....which is usually not so often because nothing interesting ever happens in my life...so...doei doei.

England



I went to England a couple weeks ago, and here's a lot of pictures. I went to go visit some family in Emsworth, which is about 40 minutes outside of Southampton. I went to London for a day by myself, and the weather was about 50 degrees and sunny....I haven't seen the sun in 4 straight months, so it was nice to say the least. I did all the "touristy" stuff like Buckingham Palace, Green Park, London Eye, Big Ben, etc, and I ended my day with shopping on Oxford Street, which did some major damage to my wallet, but oh well. We then took an overnight trip to a small town in the Cotswold called Painswick. Long story as to why I wanted to go there, but it's the cutest town. On the way home we also went to Bath, which was beautiful, and Stonehenge. I also did some other things that would make my father jealous...like having beer and lunch in a pub from 1140. No big deal. Anyways, I had a lot of fun and it was SO nice to get out of The Netherlands for a bit (because it WILL drive you insane.) I hope to get back to London again before I leave...or my parents can pay 20,000 a year for me to go the University of The Arts London. Yah. No problem, right Mum & Dad...??

My friend Abi is coming soon. Soon as in the 23rd, so in under 10 days. (!!!) 


Enjoy. Yahhhhh?




Good beer in the pub from 1140!
