Bas was asked to write a guest column for the internal magazine of DUO (Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs). The DUO is a governmental organization, responsible for the execution of several acts and regulations with regard to Education, such as student grants, diploma assessment and information management. Hence, the topic: teaching abroad and a comparison with the Dutch educational system! (Apologies to our international readers: the text is in Dutch.)
We know, it’s time for an update… And there’ll be one very soon with lots of great news! However, we are just way too busy right now getting the final details done. Today, we do want to share something fun though, which just arrived in our mailbox:
Bas contributed to his Alumni-magazine of his University in the Netherlands. It is about his experience teaching abroad, as an inspiration to other students and alumni! You can read the interview with Bas in the Educator right here! (Sorry, it’s in Dutch, but the non-Dutchies might like the accompanying photos!) Enjoy!
Here are some pictures we took over the last couple of weeks, which we would like to share with you. Enjoy!
Pfffff…..
Finally, some new pictures. For some reason, our WordPress blog didn’t show the pictures anymore after we uploaded them. Very annoying. I have been working on it for a few hours, today and yesterday and in the end the solution often is so simple that it is almost frustrating again. Luckily I had the time for it, since I don’t have to work this week (as it seems), since there are only exams. But enjoy! Especially the first few pictures, while taken with my cellphone, are incredible! Every now and then the light in Yellowknife is so beautiful that it puts the most common things in a totally different light, literally! 😉
We did a short tour on the ice road to Dettah on Saturday and went for a walk on and around it on Sunday. Quite amazing!
An overview in images
As most of you know and as reported below, we have been in The Netherlands for 2 weeks for the holidays. Of course we made a lot of pictures and instead of telling long stories about all the people we visited (a.k.a. a lot of people) we thought we’d just give you an overview with pictures. Of course we have not taken pictures everywhere or not enough of some of the places we visited, but it will give you all an idea of those hectic 2 weeks. If you’re not in a picture and we have visited you: we do love you, we just forget to take pictures every now and then. Enjoy!

December 10, morning and afternoon, December 11, afternoon….
Too bad I didn’t get a picture of the -40 it was this morning! 🙂
