the bout of bad luck continues. on sunday, i wanted to go to venlo. from utrecht, i had to take a train to eindhoven and switch to another train to venlo. unfortunately, and most unfortunate i must say, at eindhoven, i found out that the trains going to venlo were not operating. and so. i had to take another train heading towards maastricht, and from there take a train to venlo. in short, i basically travelled from a to z to b, instead of a to b. to further sum it up, the entire trip took me 3 hours instead of 1 1/2 hours.

anyway, i am glad i went to venlo to see nuance's dance performance. all the dances from the ballet school were really energetic and powerful and very impressive. honestly, at the age of 14 (and perhaps at 21), how many people know what they want to do in the future? visiting nico, evelyn and nuance was nice too because...i was treated to a buffet, 2 art galleries, a peculiar therapeutic session, given good german beer, chocolate mousse, cake, a pack of thai jasmine rice, roses from their garden...
