1/21/14 Internship day 13

Today was pretty boring. I mopped 2 floors of the gallery and didn't do too much else the whole day. They're doing construction on the river wall right outside the gallery and when they drill into the ground it shakes the whole building. It's quite annoying and very loud. I learned that the building the gallery is in was built in 1904, but was recently remodeled.

We vacuumed the apartment.

We went for another walk around Nijmegen. I think we went in the south-east direction, but I'm not entirely sure. We found the big university HAN, and wandered around the campus for a bit, and then eventually made it back to downtown and went to the farmers market to buy food. Also, I found a cat to pet.

1/19/14 Internship day 12

We had half the day off, so we walked around Nijmegen a bit. We walked across the river on one bridge, and back on another one, and then walked around downtown. That night there was a piano concert at the gallery, and I got to meet the contemporary pianist Tomoko Mukaiyama.

We made lunch for a group of 25 students visiting from a school in Belgium. I didn't take pictures, but it was quite a feast.

We went to the bar in our apartment building to try to get free wifi, but it didn't work so we just got drinks.
