Living in Delft: Bicycle, Parties and Hoops

Hey yall!
It's been another long week and lots has happen since then... but I'll try my best to sum it up in an interesting way!

Well Monday I bought a bicycle! I was stoked when I finally got it... tough a bit small i really don't care about it... I think it's a really cool price for it (35 Euro)

My new bicycle

It was this old guy's place near the ALDI supermarket! the guy sells almost everything. From mini-ovens to fridges, freezers, printers, bikes, bicycles, clothes, scanner, microwaves... well you name it! Course it's all second hand and very cheap... but this place prove to be very handy until now!

Monday was such cool day for me! Riding on our bikes, Pavel, Hugo and myself went to the centrum trying to look for tools and stuff for the bikes. Because me and Hugo hadn't yet locks I stayed outside the store... It goes like this... I could tell the lady with the dog on the leash was either American or British because the accent sounded so perfect. She was trying to get some big box card from some bikes boxes that were outside... I was just sitting there kinda listening to her attempt to explain the dutch guy what she wanted, when she asked if I was from Brazil. All of this because of the flip-flops (a.k.a. havaianas) with the brazilian flag on it! From then on we started talking half english half portuguese. She spoke portuguese because her husband was Brazilian! After about half an our talking the three of us helped her carrying the card to her place where we met Chico her nephew... It was pretty cool getting to know them and she even offered us some homemade peanuts biscuits! =)

Tuesday with started another course: Medical Technology and Health Care Systems. Far more interesting than what I've been attending the last couple of years!

Wednesday nothing really happen besides the cool offer that I got from the studenten... cool box with food and lots of other!

Studenten box

We had wednesday dinner at korn beuers. It's kind of a bar/pub/canteen with a cool environment

The pub

That wednesday we went to the fair in the groot markt and took some cool pictures! But it was still pretty early when hugo and myself arrived in de ruif so we just headed home!

Thursday pretty much was the class in the morning then mentor meeting in the afternoon but it was fun with all the chinese and nordic people!

Mentor Meeting (that's Medya - my mentor - next to me)

And now for the weekend ^^
Friday started up really good. It was traditional swedish dinner at Tim's. Victor and Harold did the cooking and the rest just sat or helped in any way!
The dinner was pretty good and after the dinner people just started flooding in! In a couple hours the place had around 40 people! I met lots that night, from Finland to Hungary to Sweden to Spain to Japan (Yoshi rules^^) to every other place! From that night are loads of pictures but i'll just try to upload the coolest ones! enjoy!

That's about it from the saturday ... it was pretty awesome...

Sunday I was talking with some Italians and we (Hugo and Pavel too) this Christian church where they were making a BBQ for free... the problem that night was our dinning time... half past 8 is NOT a dutch dinning time.. we should have been there at 7. But the guys were so nice and one of them offered to drive home and go get some more sausage and hamburger (since they had ran out of food)
Here's the picture (i was shooting it):

After the BBQ we headed to Marcushof because Nicola had to go pick a friend in there, and from there we went to the next building at some polish guys house! It was Cristina, a spanish girl, birthday. So that was quite enough reason for celebration!
Another bunch of pictures from saturday night!

Today, sunday, it was all about doing assingments and playing basketball with the italians and spanish! Me and Hugo bought a ball so now we can play anytime!
