Indeed good to hear they have him.

We could see the helicopters to. Just after 16:00 they said we could really close and leave the store. Called my husband to pick me up because busses didn't ride. He was just after 16:30 with me. We where at home at 17:30

Good evening everyone,

I'm so sorry to hear about the shooting. I hope everyone is okay. ♡

it is.

so far everyone is ok :)

Glad to hear it! Sending love and light to the Netherlands. <3

I'm not very active on the forums :)

Yeah, they were still looking for the shooter, so we were all told to stay inside, front door of the office got locked. Nobody wants to run into that sort of person.

I also would stay in, if a man like that is still walking around.

And i know more people that aren't that active on the forums.

Well, even though I'm not Dutch myself, I live in the Netherlands and I'd change my citizenship in an instant, if I could c:

Is anyone from Friesland around here? I recently had a project in Leeuwarden and I loved it there! Such a beautiful city and the people are so lovely!

Hi and welcome :) Everybody is welcome here :) We also have some people from Belgium, Germany and Thailand here :)

Thank you! <3 Just how I know the Dutch people: (most of them) very welcome to foreigners c: I'm German as well. But I don't really identify as German and my friends don't see me as a German either. Guess I'd identify as European or something like that c: Right now I live in Limburg

Ah being European is great :) I live near Utrecht in the middle of Holland :)

Utrecht ist supposed to be one of the most beautiful cities in the Netherlands c: All my friends have been there and are swooning over the city but I never got to go /: I also hope nobody you know was affected by the shootings in Utrecht...

Welcome on this topic. I love limburg. I live in Den haag.

It is a beautiful city. And nobody I know was injured or worse, thanks for asking.

Thank you c: Apart from Amsterdam, I've never been in one of the Randstad cities, to be honest ^^' But I might have to go to Den Haag for a visa for China c:

I'm glad that nobody you are aquatinted to was effected.

You need to go from Limburg to Den haag to get a visa? Wow that is a long trip

Well, the Chinese embassy is in The Hague so yeah, but I think there is also one in Düsseldorf, in Germany. This might actually be closer... I still have to figure that all out though c:

When do you want to go to china? It will be for a vacation? Of do you want to go to school there?

So my semester abroad starts in September and it will be in Taiwan. I was hoping to visit a friend who is living in Shanghai while I am there but since there is a bit of trouble when it comes to the belongingness of Taiwan to China you won't find a Chinese embassy on Taiwanese soil. Therefore, I need to get it in advance. The thing is though, that it only lasts for 3 months so I can only do it shortly before my departure which will be rather stressful /:
