And strange things happen when you're feeling homesick. Suddenly, everything you thought was cheesy (haha cheese, you get it?) about your country is what makes your country special.
The soundtrack of Turks Fruit is suddenly my anthem for Amsterdam. (For the people who don't know: http://youtube.com/watch/?v=BF5-qHKGtWY#Toots_Thielemans_-_Turks_Fruit ) It immediatly reminds me of cycling through the city, the small canals and the cosyness of the city.
'Lang leve de koningin' ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0dKuqOLeUI ) a Dutch film about a girl that learns how to play chess, is amazing to watch back and 'Soldaat van Oranje' is cult.
My nationalistic heart starts to beat now I guess. Something I didn't have that much when I was simply in The Netherlands.
But don't get me wrong, I really enjoy my time here, every week I get to meet more people and experience new things and learn something in school every day.
But at the moment, I just want to cuddle with my cat, sleep in my double bed in my own luxurious apartment and basically; I kind of want to see my family. :)
