Resident permit

So, we have to have the resident permit... I went to the city hall and did the whole thingy.. 
They said they were going to send us a mail, telling us where to pick our resident permits from and when.
We waited for so long.. Finally the mail came.. woot woot!
So my friend, I don't know why thought that it's in Hengalo.. 10 minutes away from train.. We went and looked for the place, and the lady said there is no 'IND' building here.. it's in 'Zowelle' 50 minutes away... And it was late already as I mentioned things close here at 6.00 pm.. So we decided we'll go some other day.
I think two days later we woke up early and decided we'll go. I was so excited and I thought man I won't take any bag today I can't hold stuff and all.. woot woot.
We went all the way there, changed 2 trains in order to reach.. It was really very cold. Took a taxi to the place though it was next to the train station -fail I know- but we didn't know the place and the stupid taxi took us all the way around instead of telling us it's nearby.
We went to the building.. And we had  to give them our passports or ID cards in order to get in.. SH*T.. As I didn't take my bag, I had no ID or passport.. the man said ok I'll let you in..
when it was time to pick the resident permit.. the man in said I can't take it without ID or passport.. F*ckin fail.. I went all the way 50 minutes for nothing. 
But hey.. My day wasn't ruined... we went around the city.. 
The weather was beautiful .. and the city was quite dead but I enjoyed entering the shops and seeing the place!
=P
I don't know when will I go to zowelle again.. 

The Netherlands

So yeah, once again I stopped blogging.. But here I am !
I've been here since Feb 9.. Long trip From Oman to Netherlands, TBH I don't remember how many hours have I been in the plane.. all I know I was excited!! [ My friend just said 7 hours =P ]
It was extremely cold when I arrived.. People also said that the coldness is odd, I mean.. it's more than usual. But I loved it!
The people are nice actually, you just have to ask for help.. They won't know you need a help if you didn't ask.. DUH!
It snowed too.. The view and the place was so lovely!! 
But life here is too damn expensive.
I live in Enschede, 2 hours away from Amsterdam. The Uni I go to -Until June only- is in Deventer.. 45 minutes away from my city by train.. it freaked me out in the beginning but you can't help but get used to it yeah?!
My class is filled with Chinese, and one Russian guy .. Believe me it's so much fun =P and they're cool, very funny and friendly people!!!
Life overall is very expensive.. Agh.. But I'm loving it ..<3
I sometimes miss our housemaid xD because I feel lazy but hey.. I do cook, clean and do everything by myself. Not like I depended on the housemaid when I was back home, but cleaning dish after a good yummy meal can be hard =P you know!
Sometimes I feel bored, because unlike Oman.. Everything closes here at 6, they don't have shopping malls and since it's winter all the theme parks are closed, everything fun will open by April. In Oman we cry coz things close at 10.. come here and see =''''[ .
But we have cinema and bowling center, I dislike bowling so we haven't gone there yet. Cinema is spammed =P
I also visited other cities here... I'll blog about them later..
