It was only a layover...but since most of us had never been there before, we took advantage of the time and road the train into Amsterdam, our anticipated destination being the Anne Frank House. Amsterdam was totally different from any American city I've ever been to. There were bikes everywhere! We walked down street after street, and there were canals next to basically every street with probably as many boats as there were cars in the street. We visited the Anne Frank House and got to walk in the rooms where the Frank family spent several years hiding. It was an [View Full Entry]

I write here two lines about the day of my PhD defense. A big thank to all the people who came to my party and that contributed to make this day very special, to my paraninfs (Elena & Simona), to all the friends that I met in Holland and also to all the ones who came from Italy. And for the people who didn't come... well, maybe I will forgive you :) You can see here some photos of the defense, dinner and party. [View Full Entry]

Ed: Figure it’s been a while since our last update - Matt’s in Exeter (about 3 hours away) this week so I have a bit of spare time.. Anywho - We seem to have finally settled in at home. We’ve furnished most of it - mainly with cheap things that we think will just manage to last the time we are here. It’s on a busy road so on the weekends it can get pretty noisy late into the night - luckily the last few weekends we’ve been out and normally get home just to pass out so the noise is [View Full Entry]

Cath arrived that night at 1am. We woke up got high and headed to the Heineken Factory, spent and hour or so there and then moved on to the Holland Casino. After totally fucking up the slot machines (we put coins in the slot [View Full Entry]

Amsterdam is like New Orleans. People go there to have sex and get messed up. So what were we doing there? Well, it started off with us standing in Heathrow, not knowing what time our flight was, what number it was or even the name of the airline. However, by some weird twist of fate, we wound up on a plane there. After trains and planes and buses and everything being in Dutch, we wound up at the hostel, which was smack on the edge of the red light district. When I opened the door to our room, five guys were [View Full Entry]

This has been the first chance I have had in the Netherlands to sit and type something. We have no problems accessing the internet to upload anything, we have just been too busy having fun to set aside some time for typing! So, this will be a quick update because in the next half hour or so we will either be out bicycle riding, walking, driving or something - today is too nice to waste in front of a laptop. The following covers the period from 22nd to 29th October, later today we will visit Gert and Henny, then tomorrow we [View Full Entry]
