The Summary
In September 2007, I moved to Utrecht for three months to do a work placement as part of my MSc, vowing to make the most of the opportunity to be paid in pounds whilst living in Euros. Mission Accomplished! I've been to more museums in these three months than in the two and a half years before that, gone on a weekend to Copenhagen and a day trip to Köln, made some wonderful friends, and drunk a LOT of coffee, and quite a bit of beer. Enjoy the Blog!
