Busy busy busy!

The end of another week. The start of a cold.
This week has been crazy busy, hence not enough sleep, hence a cold. But I have to say, it was worth it!

After a few 'normal' days at the Netberg office, I went to a fancy party at DSTRKT near Piccadilly Circus with some friends on Wednesday night. It was supposed to be a 'Made in Chelsea' party, where the cast would be, and they would film. I'm pretty sure that was just some PR talk to get more people to the party because I just saw two people of the cast, and no camera's. But ah well, the party was good anyway :)
And then on Thursday night, it was finally time for the World Cup to start! I don't normally watch football, but when the World Cup is on, suddenly my football-fan-side comes out! It was fun to watch the opening match, but of course, I was waiting for Spain vs. the Netherlands on Friday night....
But before it was Friday night, it was Friday. I went to an event at Google Campus to listen to people from the industry to talk about Social Media strategies. Google Campus is a place Google set up for (tech) entrepreneurs. They offer office space, opportunities to get advice from Google employees, opportunities to pitch ideas, and events to learn. It was a really interesting day and I learned so much more about Social Media than I already knew. Of course, I will be leaving Netberg in two weeks, but I still have enough time to share this knowledge with the team before I leave.

And then... the big game!! I didn't really believe in the Dutch national team, as many others with me. But still, to represent my country, I showed up at the office (where we would watch the game altogether) in my orange t-shirt. And I'm glad I did because Holland was a-ma-zing!

The previous night, Rachel had arrived in London! This is our last weekend together before we both leave the UK. So we planned an amazing trip: to the Harry Potter studio tour! But first, it was time for breakfast, which we had at my favourite place around the corner from my house. After that, we made our way to Leavesden. The tour was amazing! It was so cool to see the sets and the props from the movies. To see with how much detail these were made, was really impressive. But mostly it was a trip down memory lane for us, because we basically grew up with the books and the films.
After our journey back to East London, we headed to the pub to watch England - Italy. It was a really bad game and England lost, but the vibe in the pub was really fun anyway!

So today, another Sunday. A Sunday where I really have to say goodbye to Rachel, after sharing so much with her this year. Also a Sunday where I have to start thinking about packing, as I am leaving this house next week already. And a Sunday where I have to think about all the things I still want to do in London before I go home in two weeks....

Love,
