What to do and Where to Go....2

Scenario One - You've just arrived and things are warming up (and we are certainly not talking about the weather here) and you're still trying to get a hang of what's the Netherlands like, the life and the living of Holland. Well one of the things I have enjoyed most about my social life in the Netherlands is the coming together over food with friends to fellowship.

Much of that will happen in the common room and if the Indonesians in your year are anything like those were in mine, they are a wonderful, giving bunch who share themselves and their lives with all around. So meals were always being shared and words like Nasi Goreng, bakso, Bumbu kacang, Ayam Goreng etc are no longer mysterious. But every now and again when time and funds permit, its good to get out and grab a bite.

I was not on a scholarship and so dining out had to be done at affordable spots and I had two favourites that I'd like to share. The first one is BED - Bar,Eten,Drinken and is within walking distance and had great interior with lovely music to add to the ambiance. Food is tasty and consists of great sandwiches and in the warmer months its a great street to hang out on by the pavements seats. Click on map below to see directions.

The second one is chinese and is a bit further from the Weenapad (still walking distance away) but you have to pass it to get from the University and is quite affordable, its called Wok City. See photos and directions below.

Now there are a few more and I will share those in a few days to come. Enjoy and ET SMAKERLIKE which means Enjoy your meal in Dutch....you'll hear it alot. Cheers!!
