Hielou!

Guess what? I’ve been to the beach :D. Of course there are several beaches in the Netherlands, but trust me, the concept of “Beach” (not B*tch) is very different than you might understand it. The wind is blowing with about 60Km per hour and it’s so cold that your a** freezes of. But for these guys … it’s summer! You rent a wind screen and crouch beneath it and wait for the sun to warm you up.

Ah, other ways to spend your time: In the tower you see in the picture is a Bungee Jumping facility :) … and guess what? I’m gonna use it! ASAP! [evil grin].

I’ve been in the top tower with Liv^[1], she’s really small and the tower is in right in the sea. The wind was blowing at such a speed that it actually lifted you off. First time in my life where I had to fight hardly not to be blown away into the sea.

Also a sand sculpture exhibition took place on the beach. Here are some pictures.

That’s about it. They’ll going to lock me up :).

Bye,
The Lion.

Long time no see …

Introduction (you can skip this part) :)
I had a huge workload this 2 weeks, the AI E-mail server broke down and Kamil is in India … hmmm guess who was the one to fix it. It took 3 days and 1 night spent in the office and another 2 days of monitoring the server. Also as this wasn’t enough, some little fellow broke into the ULBS Web server (www.ubsibiu.ro), and we had to take it down and restore everything … it took 2 days and multiple Skype conferences with the team at home. I was running between those 2 things and all the other tasks I had to do in the office, so you can see why I haven’t been writing for a while.

Why?
Well I haven’t revealed you yet but Oana and Ase decided to visit us in this weekend. Oana was MCP in AIESEC Romania and now is on a traineeship with HP in France, Grenoble. Ase was Alumni Coordinator in AI and MCVP in Romania, and is currently in Bruxelles. AI was invaded with Romanians, 5 of us. :)

The Hague & Maurodam
We decided to go to Den Haag (The Hague) to see some parts of the City and Maurodam (a replica in miniature of the major sites in The Netherlands). We arrived there and because Luis said we can go by foot … we didn’t take the tram. Big mistake … it was like 1h of walking. Maurodam is very good replica of some buildings and sites. You should take a look at the site.

It seemed very small at the first look, but if you follow the tour it takes you about 3 hours to see it all.

Miniature vs. Real

The Hague was also a nice city but somehow very small comparing to the other cities here. We’ve seen also the Hague Palace and the International Justice Palace.

I’ve uploaded some pictures here! Sorry for the bad quality.
