My visit to the Netherlands
|
"The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up". The staff and students of ST.Peters School planned a visit to the Netherlands for a few students.
The first thing I noticed about the Netherlands was it was beautiful. The cities were old and well architecture. The streets were clean and the people were quite warm and they cared a lot for us. They made sure that we didn’t feel like outsiders. We visited a lot of places, museums and parks. We were divided, and two to three of us were living in the same village. The Dutch I noticed had a distinctive life pattern. They did not like any alterations in it. I guess it was boring. but that’s how it was. I visited Eikhagen college. I realized that the students were very punctual and were very hard working. They were totally into cycling .It had been a long time since we had gone cycling but we adapted. The students were quite free with their parents and teachers. There were quite a few radicals thinkers and religion was not a major issue. The people were by and large, law abiding citizens.
On the whole .the trio was a lot of fun and if I had the opportunity to visit these places again or even visit another country, I would gladly do it.
