Blaak Market and Social Drink
In: Marjan Charness
31 Aug 2011There are certain universal truths in the world. One of these truths is that university students will always look for the most inexpensive way to feed themselves. As a university student with no source of income, I’m constantly looking for good deals on mundane but essential items – like food. I would much rather spend [...]
Moving in and introdays!
In: Marjan Charness
25 Aug 2011I moved into my Kralinger apartment on the 19th, which meant that I had two days to unpack, sleep off the jet lag, and figure out the Dutch public transit system before the ESN Introdays started. Arizona has remarkably lackluster public transit – there is a bus system that usually runs 10 minutes late and [...]
Street Dance Carnival Re-visited
23 Aug 2011“Asapa” is one of the terms used in Ghana for a carnival festivity. It literary means “good dance”. The Brazilians call it samba.

Pancake boat
16 Aug 2011One of the most appreciating things I like about Erasmus University is its habit of providing introduction programmes for students even before official classes begin. I enjoyed my first introduction last year as explained earlier in my previous blog. Even though, I initially thought that it was specifically meant for pre-masters students, other international students, [...]
Introducing Marjan
In: Marjan Charness
11 Aug 2011Welkom! I believe that’s how the Dutch say “welcome,” according to my Dutch tutorial CDs. If you’re reading this blog, then hopefully the audio lessons have come in handy and I’ve successfully navigated myself from Schiphol Airport to Erasmus University, my home away from home for the next several months. My name is Marjan, and [...]

9 Aug 2011This blog has a new blogger and his name is Abdul. This is his first blog where he introduces himself. Ghana is my home country. It is situated in the western part of Africa. I went through my elementary and high school studies in that country. Furthermore I travelled to Malaysia to do my [...]
