All you need is LOVE!

這是Mark關於Apple在荷蘭第一天的記憶，
有一些部分，我也是直到今天才知道，
:)just happy to read his lovely words
======================================================================= The night before apple come to holland

allmost didn`t sleep, I was so happy and excited.

almost look to the clock every our, to see if it is almost

time to go to schiphol airport.



Apple will arrive at 6.30, check the internet and she

will arrive more earlier, estimated arrival time is 6.00.

At 5.45 I arrived at the airport, parked the car and walk to

the arrival terminal. Look on the monitors where she will arrive.

Finally the plane landed and I see Chinese looking people

passing the immigration. Try to look, if I can discover her when

she pass the immigration. but all the people look the same :P.

Just have to wait till she picked up her bag. Waiting for the

bag takes pretty long, so getting more nerves and nerves.



Until the moment the door opens and she stands there.

(I picked out the right side to wait :D). Feel so happy to see her

kiss her and close Apple in my arms, give her a warm hug.

All my mind, all Apple. We stand there for long time kissing.



then we go to a bar to have a coffee, so she can calm down.

Get used, she is in Holland with me :D



Because it is winter in Holland, I bring an extra coat for apple.

She thinks she don`t need it :P, until we get in the parking garage.

Then she found out it`s really cold in Holland :P



On the high way really fun to see her looking around.

I`m surprised, she is so surprised to see some animals in the countryside,

near the highway. I think she like Holland.



On the way to home, we stopped at the office of KPMG, take some pictures.

Then we go to the college where I do my traineeship last year and where I met

Willem. When I parked the car, she get`s really nerves (to be honest don`t know for what)

In school we met Willem, and i show the place. I told her before, that people will think she is from

Holland. when we go for a coffee, one of the teachers start to talk dutch to her.

real fun to see, she had no idea what the woman say :P



We look around in the school, and walk back to the car.

I asked her if she is ready to met my parents. No

So first we go some were else, where we can walk near a big.

Then we see a girl with a horse, off course I have to make a picture from here and the horse. :P

Really fun to see, to see Apple surprised about things that are so normal for me.

(I think she know the feeling when I was in Taiwan :P)



Finally we go to my house, I drive the car into the area where if live and park the car.

I think apple is surprised that we are there already. And start to become

really nerves, do I look ok?? yes you look really good.

3 M before we enter the gate to the garden of my house. She stops and don`t

want to walk farther anymore. Try to pull her with me, but it doesn`t work.

So just walk into the garden and hoper she will follow me (oh want am I mean, I feel ashamed)



Then finally my parents can met my Apple, they are also really happy to

see her. Help her out of her coat and guide her into the living room.

(explain she don`t have to take of her shoes)

Then she give my parents the gifts she brings.

When we have a coffee (or tea) and sit on the couch and eat apple pie.

Still can see, she is so nerves, she have her bag on her lap and almost crush the bag.

Feel happy and sorry to, that I can`t do anything to make her more relax.

I stay with her all the time and make her feel as comfortable as possible.



fun to hear, she complains to me, I didn`t bring the cups to the kitchen :P



after coffee I show her the house and where my room is. Finally she is there,

we both can relaxed. Feel so comfortable in her arms, her kiss, just like before

the days I spend in laos and Taiwan.



Then we go downstairs for lunch, and happy to see she feels more relaxed now.

Fun to she her eating with the fork and knife (my revenge of seeing me eating with chopsticks)

Teach her how to use the cheese slicer.



in the afternoon we go to kinderdijk.
