A Trip to the Embassy and Hairdresser!


A Trip to the Embassy and Hairdresser!
So My trip to the Embassy was actually two days ago, but I decided I still wanted to type out the story and the small adventure. It was at the same time sort of a try out trip cause the road we took to The HAGUE will be the same as we will take to Amsterdam – Airport from which I’ll be flying. My trip to the Embassy was a necessity cause it’s the only place in the Netherlands where they give out visa’s and needing one myself a trip to the city was  inevitable .
Dad and me left early. And the trip was to say the least not disappointing, it was good to see we don’t go to big cities often so seeing this many traffic will be good for me, I will need to get used to it after all.  We arrived early and we hoped to leave even earlier, we got there on 15 minutes passed 9 and I handed it all the papers I need to get a visa and then we heard that we would have to wait till 13.30 before I got pick it up again. And me and my dad weren’t all to happy cause the ride to it took long but the ride back would take even longer.
You see after all this time and all this paperwork I just want to have things over and done with. Especially considering that my school could be quite slow and not always as fast with telling me things and passing things through and everything, it was a lot of doing things yourself even though with some things,  you can’t help but simply need help. You need their help. But I would have my papers soon so me and dead settled for walking through the city. We had nothing better to do anyway.
So because we were kind of in the remote part and between all the embassy’s you can imagine, cause yes there is an embassy for every country. We saw the embassy of French, Germany, Australia you name It we saw it and they were all placed in these beautiful buildings that used to be old fashioned manors. They were quite beautiful to see really. 

We strolled around and I bought chocolate from an English store cause with a chance like this I’m not passing it up. Then we went to a tea house and considering I had such a long time to wait my dad and I stuck there for quite a while. I had a big cup of chocolate milk and then a whole tea pot for myself. XD and it was glorious just some relaxing time with dad, which I don’t get often and I think we both needed a break from  home. And mom needed a break from us.  
So after walking back, and then walking again and some more walking and walking, and even more walking the time came to pick up the visa. Getting to the embasy we had to wait cause there was something wrong with the machine but luckily it wans't that much longer of a wait till I got the final papers that I needed. And somehow it felt good finally getting it. It was good and nice being back in the car on the way home though. Both me and my dad were dead tired in the end, I think it was the driving that really took alot of energy but it was a nice trip none the less. 
Random Spot in The Hague -- Turtles




Once back home I actually didn't really have much energy for other things to do but I ended up sleeping blisfully sleeping a headache that had been threatening to grow a bit more. But with all the sleep it was gone. The next day was spend more or less building up this blog and the rest of the stuff didn't happen till today. 
There was a trip to the hairdresser, I got my hair ready for Japan but made one final appointment two days before I go to be absolutly sure I can go without a hair cut for four and a half months. Other then that the rest of this blog will be spend with photo's. Tomorrow there's a trip with two good friends to an amusement park I'll share pictures of that as well. For now. Till the next blog. 
This would be me. 





This is where I live.
