Home Dinner with My Dutch Housemates
I went to a Dutch language class at 9 am. It was worthwhile as usual. On my way home, I received an invitation from my Dutch landlord to have dinner with my new Indian housemate, Vanshika, tonight. I accepted the offer. It was a rare case for me. In the evening, I went to the bar My Way and bought a pack of macarons as a small gift. The dinner started at 6:45 pm. The menu was an English-style vegetarian pie and a mixed vegetable salad. For dessert, we had simmered apples. It was a super simple menu from a Japanese perspective. Also, no one drank alcoholic beverages except me! I drank white wine, which I had brought myself. To be honest, I do not like such a sober atmosphere. There is no way I can enjoy drinking when no one else is drinking. I crave joining a drinking party! I left there just after 8 pm and continued drinking and eating in my room. I fell asleep just before midnight.
