Second party team @ Leiden

- Pelikaan gracht -


The exams are finally over which is giving some space to relax a bit before second semester is starting. It's very quiet at Avenue Nouvelle as most of the students have gone home. After goofing some days with Seydi in Bxl I decided to have a long weekend myself with my family & friends. Leaving my simple student home in Brussels to THE PLACE TO BE - The Fusion @ Leiden - the student house of my bro.


- Mr. Ibrahim -

To make the second party team complete we invited Ibrahim to join us. I wanted to educate the kiddo a bit and visit The National museum of Antiquities to see the exhibition of Egypt with mummies & pharaohs. I was in minority as the girl and the two guys decided to stay in and play computer games all afternoon. But I don't blame the kid though: Tutankhamen or Batman... difficult choice for a 10-year-old!


During my stay in Leiden my brother was so kind to lend me his bike to move around a bit. I deeply love riding the bike, especially in The Netherlands because it's safe there! I have my own bike in Bxl but you must be crazy to take it, because it's so dangerous. In The Netherlands we have special paths & routes for the bike as where in Bxl you just ride between the cars on the road who are not so gentle with you. I've got deep respect for the Belgian people who do & even more for the ones who survive it!

As not many people take the bike in Brussels we have plenty of space to park your bike in the city where in The Netherlands it's the total opposite... you drive around for hours to find a place and to find it back again. It's like parking your car in Paris.

To finish the weekend my brother took me out shopping for my b'day present which I for sure didn't refuse! I needed a new pc screen and we would look for a normal 17/19 inch flat screen, but when arriving in the shop we both completly fell in love with the new Samsung 22 inch wide screen. She is a true beauty and I think that secretly my brother is a bit jealous now :-)

As the "Soldes" in the Netherlands were still going on & I had some time left before catching my train my brother suggested to shop some more. It was the first time in my entire life that I went shopping for clothes together with my big bro but it was a great pleasure!
