 The week started off with a gathering at Firda where Evert had organised a lunch for all the international students from Finland,  The week went pretty much the same as all the other ones but on Friday my classmate's internship ended and he went back to Finland and Saturday was Kings Day which meant that the streets were filled with people celebrating and partying, 

 The fifth week didn't differ much from the past weeks, Work has been quite exhausting so on the weekdays I don't really have time for tourism, so I try to go out as much as I can during the weekends, Groningen really is a beautiful city to walk around with museums and historical buildings, thankfully I still have plenty of time to look around Groningen.

During the fourth week i went to see the capital off the Netherlands, Amsterdam. while visiting amsterdam i saw a bunch of traditional dutch stuff like klompen shoes and dutch cheese stores, and during the trip to amsterdam and back i saw alot of windmills and livestock scattered around the landscape.

 My week started the same as it has for the past two weeks, though I'm getting used to waking up at earlier times, I'm still pretty burnt out whenever I get home due to my long work day. thankfully my co-workers are good company and during the break, we play card games and chat about upcoming projects, overall the atmosphere is great at the company. I don't have a lot of free time but when I do, I usually spend it walking around Groningen or preparing food at home. Next weekend I'm thinking of going to Amsterdam for a day trip.

During my second week in the Netherlands, I experienced almost the same routine as my first week. My job here mostly consists of soldering PCBs and research for a project demo for the company. Our apartment is located near the city center of Groningen, and the public transportation has been really good, so going places has been pretty cheap.

Our journey began in Amsterdam, Schiphol airport where we landed at 9.55. we went to the baggage collection. After collecting our baggage we got on the train to Groningen, after arriving in Groningen we met up with Evert who took us to our accommodations, my work started on Tuesday at 8.30 and lasted till 17.30, I was given a project that I would have to make in my time at the workplace. I've walked around Groningen quite a lot in the past week I've been here.
