Maastricht
Hello hello,
It's been almost two weeks in Maastricht, Netherlands and so far so good. I arrived on the 31st of August and there was a huge pub crawl that night. But really, it's pretty tough to have a pub crawl in a town with 365 pubs. Not much to choose from really :). That night I met a rediculous amount of people and probably remember about half. I'd say that's a pretty good ratio. We went to around 5 different bars and I got to try out some of my Dutch pick-up lines some of you might of heard of. Haha, they were eating it up...
The next few days after that has been going out and checking out Maastricht's night life. So many bars to choose from, but most of them are chill pubs/restaurants. I managed to grab a ticket for the Intro weeks: Sports Day. I finally got to try out rowing for once. Ironically, away from Victoria but hey, it was about time. It's definately fun givin er' on the boat, trying to go as fast as you can. I just wish the other guys knew what they were doing, haha.
The end of the intro week had the final day party. It was a spring break party so I naturally brought my lei that I got in the last pub crawl (Thanks Akemi). Most of the int'l students didn't even know what a lei was! The party was in an old historical fort of all places! They squeezed in 900 people in that bad boy. I'd have to say it was really cool and an incredible time. There's nothing like partying to some trance beats in an old school fort. The party was amazing and I managed to stay up till 6AM. Thank you Euro night life!
April from Commerce stayed with Alex and I for a couple days. We finally checked out the infamous coffee shops of Netherlands. Definately weird buying weed over the counter. To add to this, the coffee shop was on a boat called the Mississippi. You know your in Netherlands when... The next night we all went out and checked out some new bars. We found this new spot called Allah. As you can tell the Dutch don't hold back even when it comes to names of bars. This place opens at two (Not closes) adn goes till 5AM. Awesome music and great atmosphere but a little corwded, but I'm getting used to that.
Lately we have been making plans for trips in the next month. It's looking like:
Next Weekend: Amsterdam
Weekend 2: Manheim
Weekend 3: Oktoberfest!
Weekend 4: Barcelona (5 days)
That's what we have so far. There are many trips to be made though. This will only be the beginning! I better get back to some minimal reading that I have been doing of late. Tonight is the int'l student night (Every Tuesday). Definately one of my favourite nights... I hope all you are doing well in Canada and abroad!
