February 2- Today we finally got bikes and biked to the street market called Albert Cuyp. Later there was an International Dinner with pancakes. The international dinner was made up of a group of only international students and offered a chance for us to meet new people from all over the world. I met Sheena from the Philippines, Lee from South Africa, Francis from Ghana, Christine from Czech Republic, and Deson from Portugal. It was really fun to talk to them and learn a little bit more about their culture and about their home countries. We discussed various things about our home countries and I learned a lot more about the countries they are from. This was the first real interaction with people from a different country and I really enjoyed talking to them. Oh and the pancakes were delicious! I had a pancake with apples on them and Matt Wever had a pancake with bacon on it. Those pancakes were very thin and are a Dutch specialty. That night was a very good way to experience the culture from a lot of various places around the world.
