A Rather Long Day

Just a quick update this time
My meeting went very well yesterday. Once again, it was held in Utrecht so it was a 2 hour commute back and forth. I met with a bunch of imporatant people, representing the main groups involved in this Health Care pilot I'm part of. Although the meeting was all in Dutch, I was actually able to follow along for most of it. I found out that I'll be on the training team of the project. After the meeting (which went from 10-4), I was driven back to Enschede and straight to the university to meet up with AIESEC people. They were having a information session that evening, and I was able to talk to an AIESECer who was interested in coming to Canada for university exchange. Don't hate me, but I recommended he go to Montreal over Calgary since McGill is the better university to study at. I also went to the student restaurant at the University. University students have the high life here, as I had a steak dinner (including salad bar) and a drink for only 7 Euros and the food was really good for the value. Also, Dutch students don't tip as I found out (although I did since we knew our server). Interesting Dutch (only Dutch?) tidbit. Ice tea here is almost always carbonated, which is different from the lipton ice team we drink at home. It's still good since it's sweetened (unlike Ice tea in the States).
Anyways, went home after the event was done for some much needed sleep

more later,
