What do you mean Christmas is over? part 2

Continuation. Part 2 with 3 subparts :D

1st part: So I went to the Caribbean ;)
Since I turn(ed) 18 this year, my family decided to give a trip to the Caribbean as a birthday present. It was amazing! And of all places in the Caribbean, we we're at the Dominican Republic (Nerdfighter squeal!) So the week went something like this:
31/12/11: Arrived in the evening after 8 hours of sitting in an airplane. We ate at the buffet which was really decorated for the occasion.



And a pig's head is really important 
1/1/11: Just chilling and recovering from the jetlag. Not that much really, trying not to get lost on the huge area called "hotel".

There was a pool. And a bardisk. JUST BY THE POOL!

A Christmas present from my hostparents. These things really saved my vacation :D



2/1/12: Tour in the "real" parts of the Dominican Republic.
Our bus :D



A local school we went to. It was really just like any other school, Europe and the Caribbean aren't that different after all

A classphoto


The Cathedral. It was huuuuge and made out of concrete.

Rice fields

Local market


Making cheese

Sugarcane :D

What do you mean Christmas is over?

Visited a "sorcerer" = voodoo priest?
Not all of the photos but yeah...

I have a big fault. Whenever I do things, I get too excited and don't take photos. Or when nothing happens, I don't take photos either. This explanation is needed since I have almost no photos of the rest of the week. What we did: hanged out at the pool/playa at the hotel Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and partly Saturday. On Wednesday we went on a excursion and I don't have almost any pictures because a)we were in a speedboat and I didn't want to risk my new camera b)there wasn't that much time and c)on the way back, I was too busy dancing to take any photos. What I do have is this photo:


First (and last) time I will eat lobster.

2nd part!
I have moved. I should have posted this ages ago, but I have now officially moved (one month ago but who counts?) I'm not going to take as many photos from my room this time... or not yet ;)

Oh hi nice painting that watches me when I sleep
Part number 3!
A painter selected my offer for one of his drawings. Painter? Drawer? Whatever. The story goes like this;
I went to Truc Troc, which is a annual showcase with modern Belgian painters and sculptors. What the audience does, is to write offers what they want to exchange for this work of art. So I offered to be a Finnish e-mail penpal. AND one of the painters accepted my offer!
My future drawing will be something like this:

And last but not least, blazer update time!


Ciao!
