Our school’s student exchange program with Rijnlands Lyceum Oegstgeest in the Netherlands was an unforgettable experience that deeply enriched our lives.
Hosting the Dutch students for a week allowed us to share our culture and traditions, while staying with their families in Leiden, gave us a profound insight into their daily lives. The bonds we formed were incredibly strong, and we now consider them our second family.
Throughout our time together, our group became extremely tight-knit. We shared countless indelible experiences, from visiting the Mauritshuis and admiring the art, to exploring the vibrant streets of Amsterdam and the charming city center of Leiden. Our adventure continued with a stay at a cozy hostel, a trip to the beautiful water dunes, and an excursion to The Hague.
While relishing Dutch snacks like Stroop Waffles, Kruidnoten, Apple Pie and different varieties of bread, we got a glimpse of the specialities of their cuisine and lifestyle habits.
One of the highlights was a serene boat ride through the Dutch countryside, where we marveled at the picturesque landscapes. This exchange was more than just a series of activities; it was about building lasting friendships and creating a second home, in another part of the world.
The connections we made and the experiences we shared will stay with us forever, making this program a truly invaluable part of our lives.
