So I figured I’d go out and have a chance to say bye to some of my friends. I took some pictures. Some ok, some horrible. Award goes to Thomas for looking the absolute worst on one of the pictures ;-).

Another thing DONE! I’ve moved all my stuff to my parents’ house and am going to stay there for the next few days. This is not totally true, because tonight I’ll be seeing friends and staying over at my mate Bouwe, who lives in the same building as I do/did. If you feel like meeting up, head over to the Tivoli in Utrecht after midnight. The picture to the right is my dad and little brother, Mark, who both helped out great. As you can see, we were well on our way of clearing my room.
There was some stuff in my room that I had no use for, but I didn’t want to waste it by throwing it away either. Sustainability and recycling begins at home, in this case literally. So what I did is the following, I put whatever I didn’t want in the hallway and put a “Free Stuff” sign over it. Someone must be interested in one of my books, instrument thingies (don’t know the name, you blow them and they give this buzzy sound), inflatable boxing plastic thing, or magazines. Don’t throw away what you can give away.

Update: the links in this post now work.
Dear friends and family,
I’m putting some ‘private’ pictures on my Flickr, which means only friends and family can see them.
If you want to stay up to date with the flicks in the months to come, please sign up to Flickr so that I can give you access to the pictures I don’t want to share with the whole world. Many pictures will also be accessible if you’re not signed up, but there are things I won’t share.
So sign up now!
And shoot me a message on Flickr when you’re signed up.
Last night I said goodbye to Dou and today I’m moving out of my appartment with a hangover. It was a nice night, we spent it at Len’s work at a beach bar in Amsterdam. Bought some bottles of wine and had a good time with Dou playing the music. Len, have fun in Denmark. Dou, see you when I get back. Pictures on Flickr!
Time to move!

I just emailed my trade minister about the fishing crisis. I hope you will, too. In a few weeks, the World Trade Organization will come forward with new rules to govern global fishing –and if enough of us raise our voice, we can help end the unfair and unsustainable fishing system, in which rich countries subsidize corporate fleets to overfish the oceans. It’s unfair to fishers in poor countries. And if it keeps going, global fish populations will collapse. (Already, 90% of big fish like tuna and marlin have disappeared.)

What a day. Said goodbye to my girlfriend at the airport, because she’s going to Ireland for two weeks, but when she comes back I’m gone. Her friends were there too and said goodbye for 2 weeks.. I had to say goodbye to her and her friends for 5 months. Wasn’t as hard as I expected. A bit surrealistic, because in just one week, it’s going to be me walking through the customs and waving goodbye.
Too much stuff to do to really let this settle. I expect it to hit me later, when things calm down, but who knows.
If you read this in Ireland, have a nice holiday. See you ’round.
I’ve been documenting some of the graffiti from my hometown, Utrecht. Go and check out the street art sets!
Police arrest participants in gypsy riots
The Bulgarian police have arrested three men for the recent riots in the district of Krasna polyana in Sofia, the Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office told the Bulgarian BTA news agency. A fourth man had been released on bail. The group has been charged with hooliganism. One of the men has been accused also of infliction of slight bodily injury, while another one has been alleged of disobedience to the law enforcing authorities. On the eve of August 14 some 200 Roma ravaged a pub in the area, but tensions went higher on the following evening, when more than 300 Roma armed with staffs and axes raised havoc about the residential quarter. The initial story was that they had been retaliating for Roma ending battered by skinheads, but later it had been refuted.
Okay, now I’m nervous 😉
Okay, booked my ticket… leaving the 28th of August, coming back home on the 29th of January. Even though I didn’t have accomodation fixed yet and still no word from my school about whether or not they approve the placement, I figured: let’s go. Things will sort themselves out, hopefully.
Until the 28th I’ll fill this blog with my thoughts and actions regarding preparation.
Enjoy.
