Meet-ups

I moved to Holland and didn't know anyone so I thought why not join to one of the meet-ups. Since then the Dutch have been really active organizing these meet-ups and I almost got an over doze in the first few months when I attended all of them ! But it's been a great way to meet the fellow travelers and get new friends. Now I go whenever I can and it would be nice to attend some abroad as well.

* 30-31 Aug 2008, Leiden. My first one ! And a big one too, around 50 TBs ! Walking around the city, dinner, clubbing and brunch the next day.

* 5 Sep 2008, Utrecht. Mini meet-up with five TBs. Dinner in Marc's hangout place.

* 4 Oct 2008, Amsterdam. New-to-Amsterdam mini-meet. Not so mini, total 18 TBs and most didn't even live in Amsterdam but good to see everybody =)

* 25 Oct 2008, Amsterdam. Not official meet-up but Jenneth's farewell drinks with maybe 10 TBs.

* 14 Nov 2008, Amsterdam. Friday Night Comedy. Kat organized it but was only able to come for a quick visit. Me and four guys went to see improvisation comedy to Boom Chicago and had hilarious time =)
