I arrived in the Netherlands on Thursday, August 21. Since then I have gone to a one week program (“summer school”) for international students and met people from around the world. I share a flat with an Ethiopian girl who is studying Computer Science, also at TU Delft. I am still getting settled into Delft, but buying a bike and a phone (albeit prepaid) makes things a lot easier.
I actually meet my faculty (Industrial Design Engineering) tomorrow. I will make note of more things, but so far little things that are different include dedicated bike paths and traffic lights, a distinct lack of helmets, an abundance of fried food with mysterious contents, one-way paths for supermarkets, and a bathroom mirror subconsciously placed for tall people.
