I really enjoyed it a lot. I would like to thank everybody who was there at the Vrije Universiteit, or at the party in Haarlem. You all have made it an unforgettable day!
1/31: The first thing I saw when I came at the VU were a lot of familiar faces, in unfamiliar clothes... even Daniel had a tie. Very nice!
