Since my last post, I indeed received A1 level in Dutch which means that I can say thank you in Dutch :)
I want to wish all my EILC-buddies good luck with your future studies. You all made the course what it was. And that is extremely memorable.
Vacation
Last week I had my summer vacation. Few days without any obligations and just being in the City and exploring the nearby area.
Here are some highlights:

If you are going out on Friday night, nice way to start the night would be to go to House of bols. On Friday nights it is open until 22, ladies get 5 euro discount and students 20% discount. So the ticket costs 6.50-9.20 euro and that gets you a tour that includes f.ex. test, where you can smell all the bols drinks and you have to guess what they are(which is actually quite hard). Ticket also includes one cocktail of your choice and two shots. Extra cocktails are five € a piece, and that is bargain in this city.

Boom Chicago is in the heart of Leidseplein. It is comedy theater that has different kind of shows. We saw show called Social media circus, and if you use facebook or twitter it is a must see! All the actors are Americans, so it is easy to understand everything. Show also includes lot of improvising. Free tip, when they are looking for Mr. Facebook, raise your hand!

Rye bread
I got some souvenirs from Finland. And o`boy the Finnish rye bread is good!
Diemen
I moved in my new room on Wednesday. It is located in Diemen, in Amsterdam suburb. The neighborhood is really quiet compared to the lively central of Amsterdam. My room is actually quite nice. I was expecting lot worse.
My actual school starts on Monday, so I will have some new posts about that real quickly.

How lucky of you to run into J-Lo... You gotta tell us your secret!!Although, she seems to be thinking that she is the lucky one in that picture!! hahaha...
VastaaPoistaWell, I guess you should also be given B1 level of tour guide! I didn't know any of those events/places, and I really would like to go to that Cheese Market!!
Also, we should all go to this House of Bols... I mean, we will always have our benches at PH for pre-drinking but... Special ocasions are special ocasions!!
Good luck to you too, Mikko!But I guess you won't need it at all!!
