One of the greatest things of being here is the opportunity to meet so many people from all over the world, learn about each others cultures, countries, special dishes, landscapes, their way of living, and so on. It is surprising to find so many differences, but at the same time, to realize that it really doesn’t matter where we are from, we all have great expectations, willingness to learn as much as possible and live the best experiences life has.
I have to admit though that lately I have been feeling homesick. Probably it is because this time on the year is very nice to spend with your loved ones, with your family, but well, the people I’ve meet here have become my new family and this is my home for now. The cold weather and the few hours of sun might have something to do with the homesick feeling as well, but even though I really miss the sun early in the morning and the bids singing outside my house, experiencing a few days of snow here was great.
Hi Daniela,
ReplyDeleteYou were worrying that you would soon be up to your waist in the water here. Well don't worry the deltacommittee and Al Gore are exaggerating, read:

Hi Daniela,
ReplyDeleteIf it is any consolation - us Dutch people miss the sun as well :) Hang in there; the days will soon grow longer again and the long summer evenings make it all worthwhile...
Hola Daniela!
ReplyDeleteMe estaba preguntando si hay alguien de Ecuador en Utrech. Estoy pensado ir a Utrecht por un semestre ya que mi universidad tiene un convenio de intercambio para master students.

Mi faculty advisor esta bastante interesado en que vaya a Utrech y a mi tambien me parece una buena idea. si puedes escribeme a danym64@hotmail.com
