Dutch Class
It was a rainy day as usual. I attended a Dutch language class at 9 am. There was a hilarious exchange. The teacher Heidi asked a student, “Slaap jij? (Do you sleep?)” and then another student sitting next to him replied, “Bijna! (Almost!)”. Everyone burst into laughter. When I returned home, I met Jan. He was going to throw away some garbage left behind by our ex-housemate Peter. I wrote additional text for the future exhibition and sent it to the Dutch artist Henri. I visited the bar My Way. Ruud gave me a beer and I also bought him one. It was a fulfilling time. I felt I loved this place and moment from the bottom of my heart. On the way home, I saw a fire truck and some firefighters gathered in front of a private house, but it turned out to be nothing serious. For dinner, I had leftover simmered tomato pork and also cooked spaghetti. Since I wanted to use up cucumber and leeks, the portion of spaghetti turned out to be quite large. I fell asleep just after 9 pm.

(Do you sleep?)" and then other student who sat down next to him replied "Bijna! (Almost!)". Every one was getting burst of laughter. When I returned home, I met Jan. He is going to thorow away some garbage which ex-share mate Peter did. I wrote additional text for the future exhibition and I sent it to the Dutch artist Henri. I visited the bar My Way. Ruud gave me a beer and I also gave him a beer. It was fulfilled time. I felt I love this place and time from the bottom of my heart. On the way to home, I saw a fire truck and fire fighters collected the front of the private house but it was nothing special. I had leftover simmered tomato pork. I also cooked spaghetti. I wanted to use up cucumber and leeks, eventually, the portion of a spaghetti was plenty. I fell asleep just after 9 pm.
