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.

First Time I bike in Vlissingen (Eerste keer dat ik fietste in Vlissingen)

Riding a bike(Fiets rijden) in The Netherlands is  not so easy. You need to be familiar to all the roads and traffic rules there.But still, I did enjoyed strolling around the Vlissingen with Stefan and Jennifer. Thanks to Stefan for teaching me how to ride a bike properly.
