Winter is here…
28. marraskuuta 2023, Alankomaat ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C
It’s December 🥶 this marks our 4th month in the Netherlands! And has quickly become the coldest winter I think I’ve ever experienced. But it is pretty magical seeing the Christmas lights and feeling the festive spirits in a cooler climate ☃️ This weekend we went to the ‘12 hours of jazz festival’ at the Conservatorium where there were lots of performances by the students, including Josh who played in a few of different groups. I really enjoyed getting to experience the live music and meeting lots of Joshes friendly classmates. On Sunday we headed to Den Haag (The Hague) to explore the city. It became very chilly in the evening and even started snowing! ❄️ We had dinner at Simons place (joshes uni friend) which was really nice, he’s from Germany so we were of course drinking Glühwein and eating Schupfnudeln together.Lue lisää

Finally a break in the rain! Surprisingly with the rain and snow we had last week, this week has been a lot calmer (and warmer) which has made bike rides into the city a lot nicer 🚲

Super happy to report back on the job situations. Josh has officially started working at Petit Gateau (patisserie) and I have accepted a 6 month internship with the coolest brand/design studio called Oslop in Amsterdam. We got invited to their Christmas party which was a fun way to be introduced to more creatives, and nice for Josh to meet my new workmates 😄😄

In the weekend we checked out Rotterdam which was really enjoyable. Unfortunately the Christmas market we had planned to visit was not worth it at all (Germany definitely does these better) but we still enjoyed exploring the city and we thought the Markthal was very cool! ☺️🌟Lue lisää

Matkaaja Nice to hear about you and your jobs. This 6 month intership means, you don't get any salary? Your workspace looks a bit uninspiring... Good luck!

Matkaaja It’s a paid internship! (But yes not as good as salary work) I can’t work a full time design job on my current visa…we might have a solution for that 😅

Joshuas birthday week 🥳
17. joulukuuta 2023, Alankomaat ⋅ 🌙 8 °C
This week we’ve been up to lots! Jonathan arrived on Monday and we’ve really enjoyed getting to show him around our new city. We started the week off with some Christmas baking then we had a fun but very late evening in the city. We went to the Amsterdam Christmas market and got some sweet Glühwein and some delicious churros. It’s still safe to say that nothing beats a German Christmas market! Afterwards we had a very late viewing at 12:00am to watch ‘Castle in the Sky’ at the cinema (Joshes favourite Studio Ghibli film).

On Saturday morning we celebrated Joshes birthday (early because he’s very busy on the 18th) with cake and presents 🤗 and in the evening we took Jonathan out to our new favourite Korean restaurant to have some fried chicken, kimchi and green grape soju 🥂 then Jonathan organised a festival of lights boat tour which was really cool! Nice to see a different perspective of the city from the water 🌟Lue lisää
