Here are some background information for those who don`t know anything about my trip.
I am taking part in Erasmus exchange program in Hogeschool van Amsterdam. That will start 29.8.2011 and will last until end of January 2012. I am studying power electrical engineering and in HVA I will be part of department of E-technology, which teaches both electrical and electronics engineering. There will be a lot of project works in which I will be participating and I`m really looking forward to that.
I am going to be living in Diemen, about 5 km from center of Amsterdam. The locals are calling the apartments "containers", so I can not wait to see what they look like :)
Learning Dutch
I arrived in Amsterdam 27.7 to take part in EILC (Erasmus intensive language course) Dutch course. The course will end 17.8 and by that time I should have reached level A1 in common European framework of reference for languages in Dutch.
During the course I´m living really close to the central station of Amsterdam, which is cool because almost everything is walking distance away from flat.

We have a really fun group of students who are taking part in the course and the time has flown by so fast.
but that`s it for now, later on I will tell more specific what`s going on here.
Alles goed in Amsterdam en tot ziens!
"Eastern wing" :D
