Seeing as yesterday was my 27th birthday, I plan on writing a full post on that soon, but first, I want to look back at last year's birthday (my 26th) which was spent in Holland. Actually, it was a kinda strange birthday, because I barely celebrated it, at least not in the traditional sense. First off, it was at this time that I was working at my short-lived job on the beach bartending, so because it was my birthday, I asked off for a couple days in a row in order to allow me to go out drinking the first night and not have to get up early the next day hungover. So, although my birthday actually fell on the second day, I did most of my interesting stuff on the first.
My treat to myself was taking a day's worth of traveling to nearby small Dutch cities, probably my favorite thing to do in Europe. This time I went to the two small port towns of Enkhuizen (two photo albums are referenced under 'Enk' and 'huizen') and Hoorn. Enkhuizen was perhaps the cutest city I've ever been to, especially when you include its quaint outdoor museum. That night, I returned to hang out with some of my guy friends, with whom I pregamed and then went out to my favorite dance club in town, Paard van Troje.
My actual birthday was spent lazing around the apartment, treating myself to some dessert, and talking with my parents via Skype for a long time about my possible move home. Overall, it was a bit of an anti-social birthday, but that's really not all that different from my life in Europe in general...the only time I really socialized was at night, and the rest of the day I tended to just sit around or go see movies.
Anyway, this year's birthday was certainly much different, but more on that soon.
