Alina, Fei and I had some lunch at Gregg's after our class. Oh well Gregg's... why on earth would you name a coffee shop Gregg's? It sounds more like a take-a-way salad bar than a place to sell coffee and biscuits. When I walk around town and look at shop names, some artistic some just quite... not so artistic... I always wonder how people get their shop names. Does it just happen? Does it come to you, like a smack in the face? Or does some just don't care? We had nothing to do so we went to Kings 58 to play table tennis, which is actually an odd game. You just hit a way too small ball back and forth and it is quite hard to actually hit it the right way. If you stare at it for too long you swear it turns smaller every time. Or you just get bored, that could be it as well. Nevertheless, it was great fun and we met some people of the Kings' school. This includes a boy called Jeremie/Jeremy/Jeremé (or any other option to write this name). That boy has some serious tracking skills because the following days he always managed to find us, no matter where we were. Literally... always... He is from Marroco but he talked french, which is quite rare I think. Fairly everybody where he could talk french with was turned into his 'friend' (it was basically a one-way relationship, he thought he was your buddy while you... yeah you didn't think so). He also has a great ability to talk... and talk... and talk... which is not quite a bad thing, unless you are not feeling like listening and participating in a long-running conversation... then... good luck with him. After dinner Fei and I went to the park near Evelien and Megan's host family to play football (the game where you kick the ball with your feet, soccer/football... it's a bit confusion) with Dario, Enrico and Maxime (France). It was raining but we didn't mind, we as dutchies (dutch people) are used to it. Enrico did mind and the next day he had caught a cold. That's what you get from living in the sun. In the evening we went, like always, to the park. There were lots of students there and Kate had some lovely company. A 12-year-old looking boy tried to flirt with her and made some moves to kiss her. We laughed really hard because he was obviously drunk and he was kind of pathetic. Eventually Enrico got rid of the guy and he didn't bother us anymore during that night. Megan brought her box (a magical device where music gets produced) so we enjoyed our night under the stars with music while loudly talking. A perfect summer night, don't you think?
