Yeah its shamelessly copied off facebook, but most are really funny and true. I guess you have to stay there to understand everything, haha.
You know you live in the Guesthouse Maastricht when…
-The bunches of dust in your room are bigger than yourself
-you go to the Shamrock/Highlander every night
-you think Hungarian girls are the Hottest
-you plan not to be wasted in order to call home and talk to your family
-you have learned swedish dance moves
-you are tired of shrunken clothes by a 3 euro laundry machine
-you can go to heaven in 10 minutes
-you don’t remember someone’s name after living with them for more than a month
-your favorite club is smaller than your living room
-you understand you had fun the night before beause you don’t remember what you actually did.
-you don’t know a word in Dutch and are proud of it
-you visit Amsterdam 3 times a month
-there are too many Germans
-everybody knows everybody’s businesses
-you like moustache, cigar-joints, sniper-rifles, submarines, tulips and ships
-you hear your neighbours having sex
-when stuff magically disappears from your kitchen
-Parties over 20 people get kicked out
-after going out, you are back home with the morning sun high in the sky and wake up with an amazing full moon celebrating your hang over
-your kidneys hurt!
-you have to do the dishes before eating breakfast, because (almost) no one else is doing theirs
-you wait ’till you run out of all your boxer shorts before you actually consider doing the laundry
-you can’t sleep – partly because of having the worlds worst pillow (i’m calling Guiness book of world records), partly because the room is never completely dark, and partly because you have turned a bit nocturnal, partly because the mat is made of plastic.
-your fridge stinks likes hell because someone has forgotten old rotten food in it
-you actually start to like the horrible music they play in the meta
-you come home at 2 am (because you have class the next day) and see a bunch of spanish people just leaving the building to go out…
-you bought your bike for 20 euros from the Junkie

I had a real chuckle when i came across that group. Anyway, the deluge of blog posts recently can be attributed to the upcoming final exams for this block (there are 2 blocks per semester), which explains why I’m in Maastricht, haha. I wish I could say I’m going crazy with all the finance terminology in my mind, but I haven’t really started. I’m also trying to make up for the impending lack of blog posts in Nov and Dec, cos of my hectic travel schedule during that period.
My upcoming travel plans include, in chronological order, Prague, Vienna, Poland, Belgium, Amsterdam, Paris, Copenhagen, Monaco, Oslo, Tromso, Stockholm, Munich, Berlin, Venice, Rome and Milan. And these are only the ones I’ve booked so far, heh. Technically, I think i’m still considered a student.
Out of these, one of the most anticipated is the trip to Tromso, Norway, (almost on the North Pole) to see the northern lights, or Aurora Borealis!
It is one of the most amazing sights of nature, and one can only see it from the northern part of the northern hemisphere. These are caused by the collision of subatomic particles in the Earth’s magnetosphere. Of cos it isn’t always as brilliant as you can see from the pictures, its quite heng suay one. Sometimes you just see a few routine flashes of light, other times you see this phenomenally spectacular dance of light across the sky. It is also notoriously hard to capture on film. The quality of the shots I take will be nowhere even near the ones i just posted up, though I’ll try my best. Wish i had a better camera, sucks. We’ll be there for 2 days, so hopefully we’ll get lucky and see the latter. Haha, especially after spending all that effort and money, we have to.
