what is isn? ISN Amsterdam is part of the Erasmus Student Network (ESN). ESN is an orga-nization, with 339 sections in 34 coun-tries, that makes sure you will have the time of your life when studying abroad. ISN Amsterdam is a voluntary student-run organization dedicated to helping international students make the most of their stay in the Netherlands. It has the full support of the UvA and HvA.

� e aim of ISN is to help foster student mobility through optimizing the so-cial and cultural integration of interna-tional students in Amsterdam. We try to achieve this by organizing introduction days, parties, ‘borrels’, weekend trips, ex-cursions and other cultural activities. We also promote contact with Dutch students with our coach system. Every semester about 1000 in-ternational students join ISN-Amsterdam. Not just for the reasons mentioned above, but also be-

cause it’s the best way to meet fellow international students from both the Hogeschool van Amsterdam and the Universiteit van Amsterdam. To take part in ISN-Amsterdam, the only thing you need to do is obtain your ESN card for just E5,- during the introduction week, at our ISN o� ce or at the weekly borrel. Also, subscribe to our weekly Newsletter to keep yourself up to date.

We have o� ce hours from 13.00-17.00h on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You are always welcome to stop by if you want to subscribe for activities, if you have any questions or just for a chat and a cup of tea!

meet the board� e board of ISN Amsterdam consists of eight students studying at the University of Amsterdam and University of Applied Sciences. Here we introduce ourselves!

Hi everyone, I herewith would like to take the opportunity to welcome you to Amsterdam and introduce myself. I’m Maxime Schoonman, 22 years old, born and raised in Amsterdam. I’m studying my last year of Law to pursue my masters in (interna-tional) private law. In my spare time I try to travel as much as I possibly can. Having lived in Amsterdam, Paris, New York and London were one of the best experiences of my life because I re-ally got to know locals and got to know the cities through them. I’m hoping I can give and share with you what all my interna-tional friends have shared with me. I will be president of ISN Amsterdam 2012-2013 and do my best to make this all happen!

Hey everyone! First of all I’d like to welcome you all to Am-sterdam. My name is Anoek Baars and I will be the secre-tary for the following year. During my third year of Law, I decided it was time to do something totally di� erent on the side. As I love to travel and meet people from around the world, ISN got to my attention and I can’t wait to get in-volved in the world of international students. I hope that your stay will be an unforgettable one, and we will try our har-dest to make this happen. So if you have any questions about ISN and the activities, don’t hesitate to ask! See you soon!

Hi everyone! My name is Vincent Cieraad and I study Econo-mics & Business at the University of Amsterdam. Besides stu-dying I am addicted to kitesur� ng, sports and I love to have a good night out in the our beautiful city. Because of my interna-tional study I came in contact with the ISN and all their great ac-tivities that’s why I will be doing the PR & Fundraising for the ISN for 2012/2013! Besides my work for the ISN I’m also doing the PR for ESNOW, the biggest, craziest and cheapest student snowboard/skitrip in Holland! It’s going to be an awesome year!

Hi everyone! My name is Jiri Staats. I’m studying Psycho-logy with the specialization Social Psychology. I will be the Marketing & Design Coordinator this year. I’m responsi-ble for the promotion of the activities. Also, together with the Secretary Anouk, I will be creating the magazine Insi-ders. I, together with the board of 2012-2013, will do my very best to make your time in Amsterdam the best of your life!

Hello everyone! I am Merel � eisen and I will be the trea-surer of ISN this year. Currently, I am a student at Amster-dam University College (AUC), where I study Computer and Brain sciences. While studying at AUC, I realised how much fun it is to study and live in an international environ-ment, and also how important it is for you, the international students, to get to know each other as well as the Nether-lands. We, as the ISN board of 2012-2013, will make sure that your time in Amsterdam will be unforgettably awesome!

Hello everyone! My name is Patrick Germanus and I’m stu-dying Sports and Business management at the HvA. When it came to my attention that ISN Amsterdam was looking for new board-members I immediately knew that I wanted to be a part of it. I saw an opportunity to put my organizati-onal skills to use and share my experiences. I am really mo-tivated to make sure you all are going to have a great time here studying and living in Amsterdam. We are going to make sure, that your stay in Amsterdam will be an unforget-table one and that you will remember this time with a smile on your face. I am really looking forward to meeting you all!

Hi everyone! I’m Lisette van Namen and I’m very excited about becoming one of your new Introduction Coordinators this year! Patrick and I will do our best to organize an introduction week you will never forget! I’ve lived in Scotland, Syria and Spain so I know how much fun it can be to live abroad and make new international friends. I study Corporate Communication at the UvA and I’ve been living in Amsterdam for four years now. And I can tell you: it’s awesome! So enjoy the upcoming activities, parties and new friendships, I hope you’ll have a great time here!

Hi everyone! I’m Floor Minnema and I will be your activi-ties coordinator of this year. I study Nutrition & Dietetics at the HVA. I’ve always had a passion for travelling. I like to learn about other cultures and other languages. Last year I traveled through South- America and I had an amazing time. When I came back I really missed the interaction with internationals. � at’s why I decided I wanted to become a part of the ISN board. I’m really looking forward to organize fun activities for you guys and of course to join them and get to know you all!

what to do when you’re in amsterdamChinese New Year (February 10th)While it may still be a bit chilly outside, there’ll be plenty of celebration to warm things up! Festivities traditionally take place around the historic Nieuwmarkt neighbourhood and in 2012, that meant the inaugural edition of the Asian Food Festival.

Queen’s Day (April 30th)Queen’s Day festivities invite locals and up to 800,000 visitors alike to soak up Amsterdam’s open-air fun. In the streets, canals, parks and everywhere in between, the city is bursting with orange as Amsterdammers enjoy the biggest street party of the year. Amidst orange-pride, live music, DJs, parties and a citywide � ea market, you’ll � nd an electric atmosphere not to be missed.

Queen’s Night (April 29th)Queen’s Day must turn every other monarchy in the world green with envy as Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands turn a bright shade of orange to celebrate their royal family.

National Remembrance Day (May 4th)Amsterdam joins the rest of the Netherlands on 4 May when its citizens pause to pay their respects to the fallen soldiers of World War II and more recent military con� icts and peacekeeping operations. Head to Dam square to join members of the Dutch royal family, major political names and military representatives for the ceremony, which is built around the traditional bugle call and two-minutes of silence at 20:00.

Liberation Day (May 5th)Just as a number of European nations celebrate Victory in Europe Day on 8 May, the Netherlands pulls out all the stops for Liberation Day (Bevrijdingsdag) a few days earlier on 5 May. � e day commemorates the German army’s surrender in the Netherlands on 5 May 1945 and the liberation of the country, just prior to the end of World War II in Europe.

cultural amsterdamDi� erent kind of museums take an important place among the many touristic attracti-ons Amsterdam has to o� er. � e most popular museums in Amsterdam are the Rijks-museum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank Huis. Famous is also Paleis op de Dam (the Royal Palace) and the well known urban park Vondelpark. Other cultural highlights are the Stopera and the Royal theatre Carré.by Rosanne Chocolaad (HvA, � e Netherlands)

Rijksmuseum� e Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is one of Netherlands largest and most im-portant national museums and o� ers a great view on the Dutch art and history. A large part of the museum’s collection consists out of items from Dutch art mas-ters from the 17th century. � e Rijksmu-seum’s collection furthermore consists of paintings, sculptures, art and cra� s, Asian art and history related collections. In the painting collection the Dutch pain-tings from the 15th century up till 1900 are exhibited. � ese include works by great artists such as Rembrandt van Rijn with ‘De Nachtwacht’, Jan Steen with ‘De burgemeester van Del� ’, Johannes Ver-meer with ‘Het straatje’ and Frans Hals.

Van Gogh MuseumAs the name already indicates, the Van Gogh Museum is dedicated to the Dutch

painter Vincent van Gogh. � e museum has more than 200 paintings, 500 dra-wings and 700 letters from Vincent van Gogh on display as well as his collection of Japanese prints. His paintings are very special, but the painter himself was pro-bably not so happy. He once had a � ght with another painter (Gauguin) and threatened him with a razor blade. And we still do not know why he did it, but a� erwards he cut of his own ear. � at is why in some self-portrait paintings he has a bandage on his head. One of his most famous paintings is ‘De Sterrennacht’.

Anne Frank House� e Anne Frank Huis is dedicated to and in remembrance of the Jewish girl Anne Frank and her family. � e Frank family used the Achterhuis (the backhouse), which was concealed from view by hou-ses on all four sides, as hiding place when

13

the war started. While living there Anne Frank wrote in her diary almost every day. A� er hiding for two years they were be-trayed to the Nazis, and arrested and de-ported to concentration camps. Only her father, Otto Frank, survived the war. � e hiding place was cleared, but some per-sonal belongings were rescued. Amongst these items was the diary of Anne Frank.

Royal Dam PalacePaleis op de Dam (the Royal Palace) was originally designed to be the town hall of Amsterdam for all administrative and judicial authorities. In 1648 the famous architect Jacob van Campen designed this building. At that time Amsterdam was the most powerful trading nation in the world. People were attracted by the power and prestige and came to Amsterdam. For this reason a larger town hall was needed. Other famous artists were engaged in the design and decoration of the building. � e town hall opened its doors in 1655 and the citizens of Amsterdam proudly referred to it as ‘the eighth wonder of the world’. In 1808 Napoleon’s brother, Louis Napoleon, who had become the king of Holland decided to make the Town Hall his residence. � e o� ce complex was transformed into a palace in the French Empire style. A� er some time Louis was

forced to leave the country and almost the entire collection of costly furniture was le� behind. It is one of the best-preserved and most complete collections of its kind. So for a moment in history the Town Hall had served as the third Imperial palace of the Napoleonic Empire. In 1813 the pa-lace was returned to the city of Amster-dam, but as Prince William of Orange liked living in the capital, the city granted him the use of the building. At present the Royal Palace is used for State Visits, the Queen’s New Year receptions and other of-� cial occasions. When not in use for these purposes, the palace is open to the public.

VondelparkWhat the Hyde Park means to London and Central Park to New York, that is what the Vondelpark means to Amster-dam. It was opened in 1865 and originally named the ‘Nieuwe Park’. Two years a� er the park was opened, a statue of the au-thor Joost van den Vondel was placed in the park and as a result people started to call the park ‘Vondelpark’. In the 1990s the number of people that visited Am-sterdam grew to approximately 10 million per year. Each summer the Vondelpark has a varied program. � e movie theater of the Dutch Filmmuseum is located in the Vondelpark. Here � lms are screened that range from the 19th century silent � lms to contemporary digital producti-ons. � e museum also organizes exhibiti-ons, lectures and debates and in the sum-mer there are � lms in the open air. In the open air theatre performances are given ranging from classical music, pop mu-sic, dance and musical theatre to cabaret.

Living in Amsterdam: how to get started

by: Brittany Scalise

Fortunately for us, the Dutch are a friendly bunch, and most Amster-dammers are totally � uent in En-glish, which will make your tran-sition go much smoother. One problem solved! Also, if you’re reading this, you are probably in ISN, or thinking about joining (DO IT!), which means you won’t have trouble making new friends. Although, I can guarantee that all of them will be crazy… Crazy fun that is ;)

When I arrived in Amsterdam, it was one of the hottest days all summer. I was dressed for the cold and carrying a massive amount of luggage; I was lost, st-ruggling to � nd my way on public transport, and it

Being on exchange can be a scary thing at times. Picking up your life and moving it to a new country isn’t exactly an easy process. Just like me, I’m sure you had no idea how to pack for the weather - rain... every day, or how you were possibly going to � t all your things into your suitcases. You were probably nervous about how you were going to � nd your way here, if you were going to be able to communicate (since you most likely don’t speak a word of Dutch), and most importantly, how you were going to meet people and make friends.

showed. Despite my gross looking state, multiple strangers asked me if I needed help and led me in the right direction, even if it was out of their way. Get used to this. And when you become comfortable with the city and see a lost stran-ger, please do the same!

My � rst meal in Amsterdam was actually not “Dutch” at all – I had Turkish pizza. � is was my � rst experience with the diversity of the city. While there is food from almost every culture in the city, make sure to try the Dutch cuisine as well: pannekoeken, po� ertjes, stroopwafels, for sure. It is all su-per lekker and you won’t regret it!

Make sure to watch where you’re walking! If you hear a bell ding, that means you’re about to be run over, so move it! � is ding will come from a bike, because you are probably standing on the bike path, and in the way. Get yourself a bike as soon as you can. You will need it to get around town, especi-ally at night since the GVB public transport stops running frequently a� er 00:30. Don’t forget to buy a good, heavy lock as well, bikes are unfortunately stolen pretty frequently.because bikes are unfortunately

stolen pretty frequently.Biking will really help you to get to know the layout of the city. Yes, you will get lost. But that’s the best way to learn where you are in the city on your own. If you do get REALLY lost, check the bus stop signs to mark “you are here” and what direction you need to go in (I still do this pretty o� en).

Another piece of advice I have for you is to get involved. ISN plans so many great events in Amster-dam, around Holland, and even to other countries, and they’re all extremely a� ordable! Some of the things I’ve done this semester in-clude canal cruises, museum tours, Dutch movie nights, dinners, and “Exchange Parties” in the city. I’ve also gone on a day trip to the town of Volendam (a touristy � shing vil-lage), a weekend trip to Sevenum (in the South of Holland), and den Haag (the Hague – where all the

17

governmental business takes place and the Queen lives!) � ere’s so much you would never think of on your own to do, as well as so much that unfortunately costs money, so really try to take advantage of all ISN has to o� er you!

Most importantly, make as man-nnyyy friends as possible during your stay here. � rough ISN you will meet people from all over the world, and they will open your eyes to so much more than you saw before. (Keep in mind that some will want to travel, and you should travel with them! You’re in the center of Europe being in Amsterdam, and there’s so much to see.) You’ll learn about his-tory, languages, traditions, foods,

languages, traditions, foods, and even the weather of new places you’ve sometimes never even heard of! And, while internati-onals and traveling are all great, make some Dutch friends as well. � ey are the ones who will teach you about the culture of the city, and will be the biggest help when it comes to learning Dutch :) which is super helpful to go gro-cery shopping and learning proper pronunciations of street names. Like I said before, the Dutch are super friendly, so don’t be af-raid to reach out and make new friendships :)

COCO’S By Vincent Cieraad

At the beginning of the semester you will meet each other during theintroduction week. Sinceeveryone is doing di� erent courses, it’s hard to meet up and keepseeing all the people you’ve met.To solve this problem, we have our weekly International StudentBorrels in Coco’s Outback!

Every (other) Wednesday the ISN and VUniverse organize a party inCoco’s Outback atRembrandtplein. � is is THE place to meet all the internationalstudents and have a drink, laugh anddance with each other.

Last semester the Wednesday drinks have been awesome! � e vibe isalways so relaxed, all thepeople are open to meet new people and the sta� really loves the ISN parties. Let’s make thissemester even better and hopefully we will create some good memo-ries together!

Every now and then we try to shake things up a little by mixing the‘borrel’ with a theme. So beprepared to some dressing up and joining several amazing contests.

From the beginning of the semester we’ll be having our drinks on aweekly basis, every Wednesdayfrom 22:00. I hope to see you all there, not only the newinternationals but also the ones who werehere last semester!

Discover Holland Weekend!by jiri staats

� e Discover Holland Weekend is a weekend where ISN will take you to another city in the Netherlands for an amazing weekend! Last year we went to Sevenum, a small town somewhere in the countryside of the Netherlands. It was a weekend where everyone who went got to know each other and have some fun, while drinking a beer or two.

During the last Discover Holland Weekend we went to some aweso-me places. Like the Floriade, which is a gigantic � ower parc which is only once every four year.! (see the picture below)

During the nights in the farm, where we stayed last semester, we had a pajamas party and some awesome games like speed-dating and beer-pong. We also had a price for the best pajamas.

On the last night we went to the club Paladium, which is a club with � ve rooms with di� erent music. And the best part: we went there with a party-bus. So music, drinks an dancing in a bus!

It’s not unexpected that the most heard frase a� er the weekend was: ‘ � e BEST weekend EVER!’

My advice for everyone is to join this amazing weekend. � is semester we’ll go to Maastricht, which is a big city in the most southern province of the Netherlands. Don’t hesitate, just sign up, only limited spots available!

crash course dutchEven though Dutch is the 6th language in the European Union, not many people are familiar with it. In fact few have any clue of where it is spoken. by Tessa Gulpers (UvA. � e Netherlands)

Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands and in the Northern part of Belgium, though here it is called Flemish. Outside of Europe, the Dutch language is also spoken in former colonies Aruba, Netherlands Antilles and Suriname, though it is a second language here, and mother tongue speakers are a minority. In another former colony, Indonesia, Dutch is spoken only by older generations. Afrikaans, a dominant language in South Africa, was derived from Dutch and though it is a language in itself, Dutch people can understand it fairly well.

To make your exchange experience in Amsterdam and the Netherlands even more enjoyable why not learn a little of the local language? Here are some useful Dutch phrases with their English equivalents.Almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks very good English. Anyway it might be nice to learn some important words and expressions. Dutch people realize that their language is not the easiest to learn and are extremely � attered when you give it a go. More o� en than not, they’ll even take the time to coach you and teach you more!
