Amsterdam, Netherlands - Skype #22

We are super tired but on our way to start our 22nd Skype. Right now we are Skyping a little girl named Ashlyn, she lives in the Netherlands. She is super nice and is really fun to talk to. Her culture is really interesting... like how she's talking about all the food they get (She says it taste horrible though). She is bilingual, she can speak Dutch fluently and translated the sentences from English to Dutch. At home she speaks English but at school and other places she speaks Dutch. She only has to spend 4 hours in school. She also does gymnastics where she speaks Dutch. It was fun learning from her and about her country. The climate there is windy and rainy, however she does still get out and bike around the city. The corona virus has effected the Netherlands a lot. The schools are debating whether or not they should shut down the schools because of the corona virus. There are two personalities of people there either nice and non-judge mental or your old and rude. The main mode of transportation was bicycle. They even have parking garages for bikes that are three stories tall and they get full!!! It was fun learning from her and about her country.
