Arrived....


Well after about 10 hours of flying and ALMOST not making my transfer in Heathrow I made it! When my mom said leave lots of time for transferring, she was right! I thought I would have no trouble since my transfer was in the same terminal, but boy was I wrong! I had to go through security AGAIN and since European flights only allow one carry on (despite them allowing two from Canada) I had to check in by Burton Lil' buddy. but at least I got to skip the line at security since my flight to the A'dam was leaving in like ten minutes. The ol' Chinese British Lady was not happy...

and when I arrive of course what happens - they lose my luggage. WICKED. so coming out of the baggage hall an hour later, of course my AIESEC buddy wasn't there cause she was probably wondering where the hell I was. and since their phones don't take coins and only 'smart chip cards' i used my visa to call her (BIG MISTAKE) that 10 second call costed me about 26CAD. holy Gawd... learn from my mistake boys and girls.

I met up with Ellen Schmit who was my buddy and she helped me get to my place. I think I would have been lost without her cause there's an initial shock coming out of the airport, taking the train to Central Amsterdam (Centraal Station), and then taking the bus... then she told me where and what I was living...
