This Weekend

My weekend was pretty good.. did a lot.

Saturday during the day Marte and I met up with another exchange student and her boyfriend who's visiting for the week. We showed them around a bit of Amsterdam and had a good lunch at this pizzeria and talked a lot about the exchange and how things were going for each of us.

I had to leave them around 5 and then head back home. Then me, Beer, Marte, Bauke and his friend Simon all went to an 'American Football' game as they call it. It was pretty good.. although freezing.. and the Amsterdam team wasn't the greatest either. We ended up leaving at half-time.
So got back home at nineish.. sat around and talked with Marte for a bit.. then left at ten to meet Omani for some drinks. There ended up being about 6 of us there and we stayed at this one place till about 2.. then went to another for a little bit.. then home. Below is Omani and Kaj..

So today I slept in till noon. Just beacuse I was tired and I could. Me and Marte eventually went to this Music Showcase that Omani was in and got there just in time to see her perform. We walked around after that for a while.. I tried Banana Milk.. which is really good by the way.. and then eventually came across this group of people around this big canvas. There was a bunch of people were painting on it and this lady yelled to us "hey you guys, want to paint?"

And of course, we did. It ended up being a church group from somewhere in wisconsin who flew here for the week to just talk to people from all around the world who are in amsterdam. We talked to this one lady from the church for a while.. then painted a bit..

The whole basis of it was 'what is peace to you?'.. Or something like that.. When it was doen, the entire canvas would be donated to a children's hospital.. along wiht 3 or 4 more that they'll be doing through the week.. Here's a link to what I did.

So all in all.. I had a pretty good weekend.
