The trip was LONG and GRUELING! I did not get much sleep.. maybe 5 hours Sunday.. no sleep Monday.. so by Tuesday when I arrived.. I was dead tired..
In Brussels.. WE GOT DETAINED! They were doing a passport checks and apparently we needed to have a VISA, funny enough, the girl next to us who was also getting grilled was on her way to the university of Groningen from New York :)
Of course, I was trying to talk the inspector out of detaining us, but I think I just ticked him off more.. hehe.. We went into a room where there were about 10 "inspectors" STARING at us.. uhhh a bit unfomfortable.. I was hoping they like Americans!! :) They let us go and now I have to get a VISA!
After getting off our FOURTH plane.. we were in amsterdam! Ok I was already feeling really cracked out.. after taking a whiff of the fresh green air I felt EVEN MORE cracked out. hehe..
Here is Victor:

He works for the student organization and met us in Gronigen after we got off the train. He was very nice, showed us around, helped by bikes.. told us a bunch of cool stuff.. then we got sushi (*gag* you CALL THAT SUSHI?!*).. BTW sushi is not very popular here.. I'm going to open up a sushi bar, as well as a taxi bike service for drunk people and .. Oh yeah.. I'm going to ship these cool untensils they have for smashing up lemons in your drink to the US and sell the shit out of them! WOOHOO!
Here are some pictures of the city:Here is the speaker.. for those of you who saw that lovely youtube video of the University I showed before I arrived :)
Here is the front of my building

And that is all I'm going to write for now! I'm tired.. I could write pages more but I still have unpacking and organizing to do..
Ciao for now!
