Outstanding NL

Haven't been around forever! I got lazy digging stuff on blog last weeks. Honestly, I got a lot to tell including the continuation of my Euro trip. On the first weekend in March, I made it to Netherlands. Thanks to internet for connecting people around the world in existence. Well, I have been friends with a Dutch guy through online for ages but I hadn't had a chance to see him in person. Once I decided to come over while I've been in Czech Republic, I told him. He was like super glad that he proposed me to stay at his house instead. For real, it was such a privilege. Living with a local host without spending more money for accommodation.
I learned a lot about the Dutch culture and I'm really into the culture! They appreciate freedom without harming others. 3 rules of being Dutch said by the tour guide:
  1. Live free
  2. Don't harm other people
  3. Make money
I've been to 3 cities in Netherlands including the city where my friend lives at. Most of the things are pricey but they are all worthy. The government take quite high taxes but they give them back to fine constructions. Diverse cultures are really exquisite there and people greet to each other. Obviously, Netherlands is one of my fav places to visit. I don't mind coming over for hundred times.


One of the windmills at Neerloon



This reminded me of Hogwarts' train station. Well yes, Netherlands somehow looks like England



Hands down for the concern of public places (y)


Amsterdam Centraal Station. Captivated much?




Loads of canals ^^



Home of bikes



Loving the white tulips ♥



I used to get Apple Pie at BK store but apparently the genuine one is just the best!



The finest one



Don't get wrong but all the coffeeshops in NL are meant to provide some pot. People get high in public is a common thing and all the paths around smell like pot ; )



Hehe :D Remember Spongebob?



Good profit to start such a business there



I was so amazed by lots of Indonesian shops over there when I already started missing my home



Indonesians absolutely recognize this name regarding the history in the past



then heading out to a local restaurant getting a piece of Apple Pie. Yummy in my tummy! :9



The last day of weekend in a city called Eindhoven to catch up the flight in the early morning. Eindhoven is a piece of art. The buildings are insanely GORGEOUS!



Never crossed in mind that it was a clothing store :O



Peeps, I'm going to leave 3,5 months more. Honestly, I have been missing home for the past 3 months. Just to be surrounded by Indonesian speaking is the thing that I'm longing. Being home in particular. I don't know if I will ever make it coming back here. For sure, I'm not going to live in Indonesia for the whole life. Ending up my Euro trip, Germany and Italy are already covered then heading back to Indonesia and finishing the phase of school. GAH! In the bottom of the heart, I don't want to leave the school life. I'll see you later I guess!
