Back Stateside

My time in Leiden has officially come to a close. I got back to the States Monday afternoon, and have been busy ever since. I stayed in Ann Arbor for the first few days. Today, I'm in Grand Rapids, and in a few hours I'll be heading up to Glen Arbor. The traveling never stops does it? Well, good. I like it that way. But you don't really want to hear about America, this is a blog about the Netherlands! So I'll leave you with my final thoughts about Leiden and my six months abroad.

I could state all the stereotypical things about how this experience has changed me and made me appreciate different cultures, and blah blah blah, but that's just boring. I'll just say this: I loved my time in Leiden. I loved living there and all that the Dutch culture entails. I met loads of people and had numerous experiences (good and bad for both) that I think have made me understand the world in a more complete way. Now, for some lists of favorites!

Favorite Trips:
-Prague
-Luxembourg / Brussels
-London

Favorite Dutch Cities (besides Leiden):
-Delft
-Maastricht
-Haarlem

Favorite Dutch Culture Experience:
-Koninginnedag

Thank you all for reading my blog and keeping up with me as I adventured around Europe! I hope you've found it at least a bit interesting. That's all I have to say, so: Tot ziens Nederland!
