I arrived in Holland at 9am, and they just let me in the country without passing through any customs. I met my friend at the airport, he was there waiting for me. I was really shy, he didn't seem shy tho. I am always like that, it takes me a few days to get comfy around someone. So, we made some change (from Canadian money to Dutch money) and took the train (first time in my life on a train!!) to go to Hilversum, where my friend lives. It's about 30 minutes away from Schiphol airport.

In Hilversum, we went to my friend's apartment where he lives with a roommate, a friend from his University. Both are doing Digital Media Design. Later, after I slept a bit (6 hours of jetlag!) we went to Albert H. to get some groceries. Hilversum is a nice city, my friend's apartment is perfectly located, close enough to the city center, yet in a more calm area and close to the train station (5 minutes on foot).

At night, I went to see Charlie's Angels with Jurriaan (my friend's roommate) and his friends. my friend went to bed because of a nasty headache. That's day 1, the first day of a fabulous holiday in Holland.
