First Filipinas I met in The Netherlands

Aside from my cousins, Rowena and Cristina, many Filipinos are living in The Netherlands. I was so glad that the first Filipinas I met were Ate Lulu,  Ate Tess and Ate Chyrll. They are both good friends of Ate Rowena. They are so nice to me. Sometimes, they give me some helpful advices about the culture there and the Inburgering exam. They are also living in Vlissingen with their own family.

Vlissingen

My cousin, Rowena, and her family is living in Vlissingen where I stayed there for three months. It's a nice, simple town. They lived first in an appartment and then transferred into a bigger house.. 

 

Vlissingen is a port town in Zeeland. It is sometimes referred to in English as Flushing. It is the second large town of Zeeland, and has 34.000 inhabitants.

The town is industrial in character and is connected by a large canal to Middelburg and onwards to the Veerse Meer inland lake. Vlissingen is wellknown because of his 2,6 km long Boulevard.

It's a Baby Boy!

05 October 2010- That date was very special day for Rowena and Stefan because their third child and first baby boy was born. They named him "Niels".

Baby Niels!

Ate Rowena had difficulty in delivering Niels. She had Gestational Diabetes where the consequence of having it was the baby would grow bigger than the normal. They thought that Ate Rowena would undergo Cesarean Section. But thank God, Niels was in normal delivery.
