First Week In Holland


I had such a great time despite the fact that I am totally fatigued. I remember my first day in Europe when I went to Davy's house to live at for a night. While I was there I had the pleasure of challenging Xavier and Tammy in a Game of Xiang Qi(Chinese Chess) which was very entertaining. That night we went to see the Eiffel tower. The next morning I went to the train station in Paris to go to Rotterdam Central Station in Holland thinking that I would see Kim Vinh and his sister Thuc-hue picking us up but not knowing what happened I met an old friend Phuong Thao instead.

I did not know what the plan was but all I knew was I would see Thuc-hue tonight and Kim vinh in a few days. I hoped Kim vinh would come soon so I would not be the only boy. After we discovered where Anh's dad was and Phuong Thao's dad was we went to visit Ang and her family. After we met up with Anh we went on another long expedition to Belgium where we bought most of out chocolate throught the whole trip. The historic Peeing Boy who peed on a bomb to extinguish the spark so it would not detonate and eradicate their city.

When we arrived at Kim Vinh's house we saw Phuong and he got a lot bigger if I can say. He looked very sophisticated and well taught. Well going down memory lane I recall sleeping that night was so painful. I got TEN Mosquitoe bites which was painful but thats okay because I know I had to pay off my Karmic offenses. The next day we went to Amsterdam and wow there were a lot of people. We met Han and his mom in Amsterdam. We walked around Amsterdam for the longest time and we saw two hookers. Well while all the kid were drained we were waiting for the superb dinner at a restaurant call Tai San and that was a good dinner.

Wow then and now I could not believe that one week has passed by so quickly just like a blink of an eye. But that night Thuc Hue and Phuong Thao had to leave because the next day they were going to Paris by car and the U.S delegation was going by train and would hopefully meet them that next day. Well the next day came and at 11 o'clock we left to Rotterdam Central Station to board the train and go back to Paris. By the time we got to Paris the whole U.S delegation was there Including my Dad and etc. There were so many people at Davy's house so we all split and slept at seperate places. We went to sleep very late that night and for once I meditated and recited. At that time I felt so peaceful and fell asleep as if I ran ten miles.

That ends this post and will start a new one about Chinagora and the Buddhist delegation.
