Amsterdam 1999 - 2004, on and off

Q

Amsterdam 1999-2003

After highschool and few obstacles, I finally managed to get myself abroad and studying in Amsterdam. So far the best time of my life; partying, meeting people from all over the world, getting to know myself, just having fun...oh, and of course, studying. I never planned to come to Amsterdam, but afterwards have been really glad of this opportunity. It's really my second home now, with its lovely canals and small streets and many faults I've found on the way as well. The language still doesn't make much sense, as I hang around more with foreigners than Dutch people. But that's what this city is best for.... meeting people from all over the world and just enjoying the life to the fullest!

Amsterdam 2003 - 2004

After finishing my studies in Finland/Holland, I decided to stay here as I didn't quite have the money to go anywhere else either and Finland really wasn't an option yet. Some of my friends staied as well, so it was easy to feel at home in Amsterdam. I got my first "real" job... Hmm... I think the biggest change was to move from suburbs to the central of Adam to my first own flat. it's been such a great year. I've had a lot of friends over in my studio and seen so many good Dj's that I could have never imagined. My friends in here really made the staying worth while!
