"Rood zijn de daken
Geel zijn de helmen
Groen is het gras
Blauw is de lucht
Wit is het zand
Dit zijn de kleuren van Schellingerland"

translated to english it would be like this:

"Red are the rooftops
Yellow are the marrams
Green is the grass
Blue is the sky
White is the sand
These are the colors of Schellingerland"

here i'm at terschelling,netherlands
after 13hrs of flight, 1hr bus and 1 hr fast ferry. we landed on the shores of Terschelling in the town of west terschelling.
There are three main villages: Westerschelling, Midsland and Hoorn. The island is c. 30 km long and nearly 4 km wide, with an area of 9616 hectares.
school is only a short walk away. course schedule is not that packed.
nearest town is about 15mins away. but we could easily access to other towns via bus which cost 1 euro and 2.5euro for their version of night rider.
breakfast and lunch is basically bread, ham and cheese, only dinner is hot food -_-
Terschelling is basically like our sentosa, where the rest of the dutch people comes in trongs here in the weekends. monday till friday is quiet and apart from the locals you'll most likely see us walking ard.
but by Friday afternoon, you can see lots of them taking the ferry in. all the bikes rental shop displayed their gleming bikes for them. all along the road to town you can hear the clak clak clak sounds made by the wheels of the luggages being lunged around.
