I really love cats. I've been in The Netherlands from the 2nd of June and it has been a nice time. Everyone's been nice to me and have been taking care of me and that makes me all fuzzy inside. I've also been thrown into this diet thing and have lost approximately two kilograms in 6 days. I thought it was good but apparently, I learned from Ben's mom that it was not a good diet to be doing. And so, tomorrow we'll be adding some other foods into our diet and maybe that will end up pretty good.
And I got to eat fresh strawberries from Ben's mom's garden! They were pure heaven! The taste itself wasn't strong but the juice and the freshness of it cannot be compared! The ones in supermarkets just taste really weird.
I've also been walking for a bit in the last two days. It's 1.5 kilometers to the destination and 1.5 kilometers back. Sometimes I also end up going to a shop that's only about 600 meters from the place I'm staying at. So, on the same day, I might have gone for approximately 2 kilometers. It's a nice feeling after I've finished walking especially when I'm walking with Ben or helping out his mom.
There was a time during the week that we went to the city center of Alkmaar and had the chance to see the markets that were out there that day. We were lucky enough to find that there was an exhibition going on in St. Laurens Church, also known as the Big Church. Some of the works were a little amateurish but there was one artist that caught my eye. Her work, although professional looking, were priced cheaply compared to the amateurs that have priced their work double hers. I feel like a lot of people should have bought her paintings. I wish she gets a lot of commissions and a lot of people buying her stuff!
I've finished reading the book A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami. It was one of the best books I've read. I really recommend it to people. Of course, this just means I need to pick up that book I brought along to read. Anne Frank: The Diary of A Young Girl. I've heard a lot about Anne Frank but I've never looked into her history or read anything on her. During history class, the teacher fleetingly mentioned her name but because I jumped from school to school, I never really got to learn about European history much. I'm going to have to try and finish reading this book by the next week because I'm thinking about going to Amsterdam to go and visit the Anne Frank House/Museum. Hopefully I can finish reading before we actually get there.
Ben's mom has been shouting from her bedroom, talking about places where we could go. Apparently, there's this place that makes chocolate out of horse milk. I'm actually intrigued. I really do want to go but Ben isn't too keen on it. There was also an opening day for a dairy farm. I know, I'm a little weird but I am really interested!
Oh, today, when we were taking that 1.5 kilometer walk to the bigger shops, we were talking about Pedobear and how he'd look like if he were kinda' human. We were so disgusting… I like that! Hehe~
And if I were to get glasses again, I want to get ones like these!
Maybe I should help with the cleaning again tomorrow.
