We arrived at the mall fresh-faced and ready for action!

Like Linda, our stylist was from Germany. He is super talented and not only a stylist, also a model. Currently he is on the cover of one of Holland’s hottest mags, posing as Andy Warhol. We loved our makeovers so I treated myself to a Chanel mascara!

Hot stuff!

Friday evening Jana (also a fellow fashionista from Germany) joined Dan and I at the Diemen fair. Everyone else thought we were really lame for going. Whatever, we had fun!

We went on the Ferris-wheel and The Octopus.

The rest of the evening was spent in my apartment drinking wine and trying to figure out how much Dutch we’ve actually learned so far. Jana also taught us some German. The best word came up while we were discussing tattoos we want and/or have. Arschgeweih refers to the lower back tattoo that almost every girl around the world has right now. If you translate it into English, it means "ass antlers." Dan and I decided that we had to bring this one back to Canada.

Dan and I quickly became lonely so we decided to head over to Mulligans, a rockn' Irish Pub that hosts live Irish music every Sunday night. Linda and her best friend Julia and her boyfriend Daniel decided to join us.

Myself with Heidi and Vinnie.

We're a busy crew.
