Date: 6th May 2010, day 99 of my exchange to The Netherlands
The plan was to have a surprise belated party for his birthday. So, we planned to have a picnic by the lake. Fong Chi, JH and I had earlier on that morning, met to get him some guitar strings for present. I went down to Kai Hee's place to help her make potato salad. We then brought Azri down to the lake using a route that he suggested. He was told that Kai Hee and I were going to have some picnic over there. Once we were there, we had to find the 'right' spot to meet up with others. Since the others had already been informed, they were all hiding behind a bunch of trees. We eventually found them. I then announced the sad news from Italy, which was that Johnny couldn't join us for Azri's birthday celebration :S
We then went down to the tables by the lake to eat the sandwiches and drinks. Pau joined us after sometime. It started getting too cold for us to stay there and so, we went over to Fong Chi's place. That's where we had a birthday cake and played some cards before going back home :D

Cycling at Harleem
Date: 24th April 2010, Day 87 of my exchange
I was invited to go cycling at amsterdam area by the Rubenstraats. I googled for some tracks we can take in order to keep us entertained for the day, but they didn't seem to be good enough. The rubenstraats seemed to have a route in mind too. We met very early in the morning at the train station with our bicycles and loaded them onto the train. There were obviously too many bikes chucked into the corner but we didn't care. We just made use of whatever space was available to sit around for the 1+hr journey. We finally arrived at Harleem after changing to another train at Amsterdam centraal station. We then went to the VVV and cycled around the saturday market in action.
We managed to get a decent looking map and some travelling advice from this centre. We then aimed to get ourselves to a beach and come back to another station nearby. We also planned the route such that it will take us through lovely tulip farms, rivers, keukenhoff and country side.
The first part of the journey took us through some countryside places with lots of houses along the roads. We began to see some tulip-filled lands before our lunch time :) After nearly getting lost at several hidden corners, we ended up at a side of a river bordering on an uncultivated farmland for our picnic. the place had 2 tables which were perfect to host us for our lunch. After lunch came LOTS more of tulip farms. We got off our bikes now and then to take pictures while the farm-owners were not out ;P We came across Keukenhoff gardens too, but did not go in. There was a flower procession just outside for us to enjoy :D
We then got to the beach where we started munching on emilie's crepes. We also had a surprise birthday celebration for Flo as we revealed a set of cards with rubenstraat people's faces on it. We then went on to cycled through some hilly areas till we came to another beach. After taking a 5 mins break, we pushed on to the train station and tried to get back before it got dark.
As our train approached amsterdam station, Azri realized that he lef this bag at harleem station. The bag had his passport, camera and other valuables. Aysun then went back with him to look for it. The rest of us went on to a turkish place across the river at amsterdam centraal to have our dinner. Azri came back without his bag, after having made a police report on it. We then made our way back to Eindhoven for a good night's rest. Pics on facebook. No more pics here since blogger has restricted space for uploading pics.
