Hey everyone, hows it going out there ? Well Yes as most you all know I did make it safely and luggage attached. I have been here in amsterdam for only a few days now. Its great, lovin it already. There are 4 Nationalitys represented in my room. A guy from Finland, Germany, Holand on of course our fav the CANADIANS. Lol I heard a joke today about the orgins of " Canada "
Ok so when the peoples of north america wanted to pick a name for there country the desided that it was too hard for them to make this choice. So they desided that they would pick letters out of a hat and see what they came with. So the first guy went and said " C eh ". Next "N eh" and finally "D eh "......lol made me laugh anyways.

Anywho I have posted some pics that you can check out on this portion of my Journy. I think most of you know that I will be heading to Bangkok Thailand On sept 8th. Again just to let everyone know that this ( sept 8th ) is my Birthday !! So happy Birthday to me ! ok have fun checking out the pics !

Me and another YK'er
Yes it is true, I meet someone I know from Yellowknife on the flight from london to Amsterdam. Now it you have not heard the words " its a small world" now would be the time to look that up and see what is really means. Crazy 1/2 way around the world there she was sitting right behind me on the plane. WOW

Pics From the Bus
Just some random Pics from the Bus on our way to the conferance place called " De Bron"

The Conference Center
This Just a pic of one of the Pathways at the Conference Center. De Bron is the name and its about 2 hours East of Amsterdam. Which is considerd a long drive if your from the area

A group Photo OP
This is the group Of Canadians I traveled with over from TO. You might be wondering about the african lady in the front. Well she was the only here representing her counrty. So like nice canadains we kind of adpoted her.

Another fun Group Photo OP
The Title of this one pretty much self explains it

LOL don't ask
One of the first days that we were here we had to do some team building excersies. like I said about thing pic, don't ask

Amsterdam Airport
This is just a quick pic of the Amsterdam airport. Thought it was important because belive it or not this was the closest I came to acutally seeing the place. Got on a bus and drove here ( de Bron )

The main pathway
This is the "center " point of De Bron. Its really quite nice, all the roofs around here are amde out of about 6-8 inchs of grass or somthing. Very neat.

HeBron
This is my "resting Place" for the time I am here at De Bron. He Bron is the name of the complex, but not so sure I know what it means

By the river side
just a quick picture of teh river that is right next to the place. Very nice, however if you notice the cows on the other side. Ya they make quite the stink if the wind is blowing the right way
