In the beginning was the word...

...and the bird was the word.

Enough of that silliness, welcome to my blog which I intend to use to keep friends and family up-to-date with the haps during my time in Breda. So, I got more info from my school the other day, turns out I don't start till early september which threw me slightly. All the information I'd got before this had hinted at a start a few weeks before, but that means I have more time for getting sorted out I guess. The school have said they will help with my hunt for accommodation, which is good of them seeing as it's just hassle for them and they're not obligated to. Still, having been in this situation before, I know how hard it is to find somewhere to live where you don't know the city and are 700km away (as the crow flies).

I've done a bit of research on Breda and discovered these two facts: it's the home of Oranjeboom beer (my brand of choice in Netto) and the home of DJ Tiesto. Other than that, Wiki (god bless her) was rather devoid of information so I had to go to actual real-life dutchies who had nothing but praise for the city, so it bodes well.

I shall bid thee farewell for now, but shall keep you posted on the doings.
