First day in Holland. My experience. (By Gonzalo)

Yesterday, it was my first day in Holland. When I arrived to the high school De Nassau, I felt a little bit shy waiting my Dutch partner and her family. When she arrived with her father, I felt more shy. Her name is Valerie, and her father's name is Eric. Valerie's father is very cheerful and funny! When we arrived to their house, I thought (Oh dear! This house is enormous! And very beautyful!). The house has two gardens and three floors. My room is on the third plant. When I was putting my suitcase in my room, I met Valerie's sisters, Isabel and Sophie. Then, I went downstairs carefully (by the way, the stairs are very very very steep!) and I showed my presents for the Dutch family (a lot of cured ham and olive oil) to Eric, but he said "Wait a moment! My wife is almost home. Do you want to keep the present for show late to the full family? Hehehe" I said "OK". When Eric's wife arrived home, she kept me three kisses, and she said "nice to meet you". Her name is Desiree (like the second name of Valerie) and she's very cheerful, like her husband! Then, I showed the presents to the family, but, oh dear! Isabel, the sister of Valerie, is vegetarian! But she said "I never eat meat, but thanks anyway :)". Then, I spoke 2 minuts with my mother with telephone (the Dutch family insisted to me for call to my mother in Spain, and I couldn't say no.). Then, we went to a chinese restaurant for have dinner and I ate noodles (my first time in a chinese restaurant, and curiously, in Holland xD). Then, we went home, and I was playing with Valerie with her computer and I chatted with she. Then, I brushed my teeth, and I went to bed. The family were very very very nice with me! :D
