Last weekend was a crazy weekend. Friday night was my going away party in the café I’ve worked for the last three years. Grand-Diner-Cafe ‘t Boterhuis (warning, Dutch site). It was a great night. For the first time in the three years I traveled from The Hague to Delft, I took the wrong train. This train did not stop in delft but drove on to Rotterdam. So I had to take the train from Rotterdam back to Delft. So I was an hour to late for my own party. Luckily my brother was in time to entertain the guests. There were a lot of friends and family. Some couldn’t stay long but I’m glad I had the chance to see them. At a certain point my brother prepared the projector for a movie they made. Seems that one day while I was at work he invited my friends and they made a movie in my room, on my bed. To the people with the dirty minds; it’s not what you think. They made a little goodbye movie. Maybe I’ll rip it and put in on youtube. To me it was an emotional moment. Seeing my friends talking about me, telling us what they’ll miss about me. Seeing all my friends and family in one room and knowing it will me a long time before I see them again. The party was a real tearjerker. My friends, family and co-workers gave me some gifts I will always treasure. There are a lot of memories I will treasure. The party went on until the early in the morning. After our café closed a few close friends and I went to another café to party on. The sun was already up when I went home.

The next morning I had a major hangover. But I had to return to Delft to pick up all the gifts my friends and family got for me. I had lunch with my brother and talked to my old boss for the last time. He promised to look me up in Suriname. I’m looking forward to giving him and his wife and son a tour of my country.

To all my friends and family and new family in the Netherlands: I love you guys, I’ll never forget you.
