Wednesday: AM - THIMUN Conference and PM - Amsterdam


Today was the third day of the conference.  We only had sessions in the morning until 12:45 (Sami and I are in the Economic and Social Council) and then in the afternoon we went to Amsterdam by bus which was a very enjoyable bus trip.  We visited the Rijks Museum, the national museum of the Netherlands, where we saw several paintings including Rembrandt’s The Night Watch, and Vermeer’s Kitchen Maid.  After the museum trip, we took a walk and tried to find a good restaurant to eat. We went through the busy shopping street with lots of trams, buses and bicycles. Finally we found a restaurant called Bouf, where the food was amazing.  We liked it so much; we even loved the bread before the meal.  After the delicious dinner, we found an ice skating rink which was close to the museum and skated.  We really had fun skating, even though I fell into a small pond of water.    I still enjoyed the skating so much, and I hope we can go again. After skating, we went to a coffee bar and had some wonderful hot chocolate and ice-cream. The bus came to pick us up at 9:30 pm and we rode the one hour bus ride back to The Hague and ended this amazing day!
