Last night the whole block full of international students hosted a running dinner. Students volunteer to cook for up to 6 students whether it is just starter or main meal or dessert. Cost of running the meals would be compensated by the RA personnel. The aim was to get to know the neighbours and obviously taste the dinner from three different cooks.

There were quite a diverse crowd from different country of origin; Portugal, Spain, Germany, Canada, Greece, Italy, Korean, Singapore and so on. Just mingled on what is generally like in Holland and naturally comparing to their home.

At the end of the meals we were meant to meet up at Aan T’IJ but it was used for private function. So some of us who knew the change of plan ended at Maartan’s place for a few chat and drinks as a complement. Some biked to Leidseplein for a live rock band.

Starter: Avocado & Salmon
Main Meal: Avocado & Potatoes with lemon juice dressing + Pork.
Dessert: Cheese cake
