International Dinner

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.
