This was the day after the opening. My roommate and I packed up all our stuff, and moved to the new apartment next door to the gallery. We also walked around Nijmegen a bit and went to the farmers market that happens every Monday.

Moving. We had to pick up a fridge too.

I brought my computer to the gallery so I can upload some new pictures finally!
This was the day of the opening. I don't have any pictures of it, but I have a few from before and after. I was pouring wine and cleaning the entire time, and then some of us went out for a beer after.
The new apartment is beautiful but there is no wifi. And no one seems to know if and when there will be wifi. So I don't know if and when there will be another blog post. Sorry.
I got home late last night and was too tired to post. Yesterday, everything for show was pretty much set up, so I had to do a lot of cleaning and preparing the little things for the opening. Marie-Jose (the gallery owner), Brian (the Chinese intern), and I went to a store called Makro, basically the Dutch version of Costco, to buy ingredients for the soups that we would make to serve to everyone at the opening. It was quite fun trying to decipher the labels on everything. Also, for the produce, we had to weigh everything and print our own labels, which was highly entertaining for Brian and I. After we returned, we started cooking the soups. Then we ordered Domino's pizza and ate it with Marie-Jose in her apartment.
I found peanut butter!
In the busier streets of downtown Nijmegen, they have these steel poles that go up and down to allow cars to go through, in addition to stop signs.

Appelflappen! (translation: what I'm going to call apple turnovers from now on)
Kinder Suprise jackpot. And they're super cheap!
A gold and lapis lazuli necklace by Etsuko Sonobe. Don't even ask how much this necklace costs because you don't want to know.
...Over 7,600 Euros.
