It's been three weeks since I've arrived and here is my first blagh update. ever. what ish up? I'm currently living in the Northern hemisphere, a bicycle has become my only means of transport, I've seen van Gogh, Monet and Gauguin for the first time, I've walked on water, I broke my record by writing 17 letters and 4 postcards in 8 days, I've mastered cooking and I'm now a proud maker of toast and pasta, I'm officially a Dutch resident for the next 6 months, I've started drinking beer, oh and I cut my hair! To my friends and family, I miss ya'll dearly, but so far, Amsterdam is treating me well. Here are the photos of everything.
