Hey everybody!

It has been three years since I was a brand new student, fresh out of high school. I'm currently in my fourth year. I started this blog in an attempt to keep my family, friends and any prospective students up to date with my life at the University of Lethbridge. I'm continuing with it this year as it worked well. Thanks for reading!

April 26th, 2014

Happy King’s day everyone! Today some friends and I took the train to Amsterdam to celebrate King’s Day. We took the 9 am train, transferring in Maastricht and Utrecht Centraal, before arriving in Amsterdam. In Maastricht, I bought an orange t-shirt with a crown on it, a headband with a crown on it, and a ribbon to wear in honour of King’s Day (all in orange of course as that’s the colour everyone wears today). 

We basically enjoyed the day, taking part in all the festivities we could. We went on one of the fair rides (a giant swing with an amazing view of the city) and just walked around and took in all the sights, including the “Iamsterdam” sign. 

My favorite part was when we stopped to use the washroom, I went into an “American foods” store and what did I find? Sour Patch Kids, Hamburger Helper, and Kraft Mac’n Cheese! Three of my biggest cravings since coming to Belgium! So of course I bought a package of all of them! I also got a Henna tattoo on my arm.

King’s Day was such a cool experience and they had events and activities for people of all ages.
