Bus arrived in Chicago just after 8 am. Made it past the ticket counter and security in record time, first time I’ve manage to not set off a metal detector. Now I just have to wait 3+ hours for my 1:10 flight to Washington.

Several delays any many many hours later I arrived in Amsterdam Airport. Then onto a train to Amsterdam central station. I spent the next few hours walking around down town Amsterdam. The architecture, stores, and people are simply amazing. After a short search for lodging I decided that I would fare better heading to Arnhem. The Arnhem school of business campus is closed for the weekend but I stopped by to check it out anyways. After some exploring I happened upon the Stay Ok hostel, and have deiced to lodge there for two nights. Until Monday when I will finally get to see and use the ‘Apartment’ that I will be living in for the next year.

First night in the Stay Okay went well. Met some fellow travels and got a good nights sleep. Finding free internet is proving to be very difficult, it will be nice once I finally have my own place with a stable internet connection.
