The plane ride was alright. A non-stop flight rules! I watched "Love Actually" in the plane. At the airport, I greeted the customs officer with "Goede Morgen!" He seemed a bit surprised, but just stamped my passport without asking any questions (he had questionned the other Canadian before me...) My friend was waiting for me, trying to find my flight on the monitors, which was no where to be found. It was early (7h) so he was still sleepy. I went towards him and he was surprised to see me there. We took the train to Hilversum. My friend went to work and I rested for a few hours. After, I went to the city center. I bought some stuff for that evening at the supermarket. That evening, we went to my friend's dad's house. We had a really nice dinner, played around the computer (installing software, playing with a program to learn Spanish). I received nice gifts: a new wallet as well as Nicci French's newest book, Secret Smile. I was very happy. We then went back to Hilversum.
