Does she arrive to the Netherlands?

Wow! There are almost three months and I hadn't appeared before!
Sorry, but this arrival took me more than expected.

I was reading my last post in order to get the sequence again and I found tons of words, expressing how confused I was before coming here. Now I think about it and I consider that it is quite normal. I was scared, excited, worried, and happy and the fact of being broken hearted didn't help.

I arrived to NL at the beginning of June and I found in the airport of Brussels, 6 amazing and tall individuals waiting for me. They were they people I'm currently working: my MC team. Afterwards, we were the next two days in team days; getting to know each other and trying to build our team.
On Monday, I went to my first day of transition and I met the former MC! They were also great people from whom I learned quite a lot.



Next weeks passed really quickly, among take over sessions, AI transition party, first AB meeting and first days at the office. I was kind of lost in Rotterdam, always taking the wrong train, metro or tram. Besides, my bike was stolen, so I had to walk to everywhere for some days :(.

Some days after was time for getting prepared for IC; so, I started all exchange related initiatives for IC and other fun stuff, such as buying stroopwafels, dropjes and a lot of alcohol for the Dutch windmill game. Also, I got a very nice and typical Dutch outfit (please check the picture). Malaysia truly Asia was awesome!!! I like it a lot, mostly the FOOD! Indian, chinese and malayan food in 1 country, I just love it. We travelled around for 3 days before the conference, trying to relax a little bit after a lot of weeks of take over and hard work. at the end, we were even more tired but vey excited for the conference.



IC was wonderful! I met with old friends around the world what made me feel old in @!~but still, I enjoyed it a lot. Fortunately and as we say in Colombia (culo de leche), I shared my room with Luisa and Lore!!!! I was so so happy :) we spent such a great time, talking about our experiences in KZ, Belgium and NL, about boys, about us! Somos exitosas, estamos donde queremos y hacemos lo que queremos

Now I'm back in the Netherlands, working a lot and enjoying every moment. I promise I'll be back, writing some other stories!!!!
