Last night we went out for a Global Mobility dinner (with all the short term secondees and some of the Dutchies who had recently returned from long term secondments).
The food was really tiny and posh, and the boys all complained that it wasn’t really a meal. We had a course of bread, a course of mostly raw tuna steak, a course of fish with a pasta noodle (yes just one), a course of onion soup (weird) and then a course of some sort of steak (tiny of course). Dessert was a course of some custard-type thing with ice cream on it followed by little chocolates/sweets.

There was a game of ‘human bingo’ where the characteristics were like ‘someone from NZ’ or ‘has more than three kids’ and you had to get a different person to sign off each box on the bingo. Claire (from South Africa) and I teamed up and were the first to complete the challenge.
Later in the evening all the entries were drawn and we won!!! The prize was two free entrances to Keukenhof, this cute little tulip park where you can cycle through and look at all the flowers (LINK). Plus, we get a free poster each when we go. Which is brilliant, because we were already planning on going for my birthday weekend! Very nice indeed.
Here's some of the others enjoying the food (not) -
