Group 5: Marika, Vicky & Hinke

Today was the third day of the program. We didn't got any time to blog yesterday, as it was quite a busy program. The day started off with an hour of cultural history of Jan, a teacher of the dutch people here in Drachten. We ended the lecture with a game, called sjoelen. Sjoelen is a typical dutch game where you have wooden slices which you have to shove in different holes. The finish people won. After lunch we walked to the museum, in the hot sun. It was a museum about dadaism in Drachten. The third day - today- consisted off making the package design for the dutch food.

In our opinion, the museum was wonderful, we were quite tired, but the exhibition was good. In fact it was the best museum Vicky ever went to. She wanted to stay forever, but we had to go to dinner. The statue (patsas in Finnish) in front of the museum was also nice to look at, a long slender man and a overweight smaller woman who held out their hands. After the tour we made the collages, with random pieces glued on the paper. It was a shame that there was so less time.

Monday in the evening we went to the restaurant in the school, but there was a mistake and we couldn't get dinner there, that damn people didn't let us in, we were very hungry, we almost ate each other's hands. Luckily Janet found us a nice Chinese restaurant that could serve us all diner. Luckily we could go to the restaurant of the school yesterday, and ate delicious soup, schnitzel and wonderful ice cream (Hinke could eat a while bucket of it).

Today wasn't a good day for Hinke, as she overslept. In the meantime Vicky and Marika were already quite productive, and continued with the moodboard of the package design. We made the base of the package, and only need to design it, print it and paste it on the box. The lunch was nice, as we got sugared bread (Suikerbrood in Dutch).

Another nice thing of the day were the 3D pens. We got to make all sort of things, like rings, cubes and beetles. It was quite hard, but fun to work with.

Tomorrow we will sing (choire) with the other students and finish the package design. We get a free evening, to go shopping in Drachten (which is nice, of course).
