DAY TRIP TO GROESBEEK

Meet at The Atrium Coach leaves for Groesbeek in the east of the Netherlands, near the German border. 10:30 In the movie theatre of the NATIONAL LIBERATION MUSEUM we will first watch a documentary film on Operation Market Garden. In September 1944 the largest airborne operation in history took place when English, Polish and American divisions dropped their troops to seize bridges in order to cut of the German supply routes. The area around Groesbeek was one of the sites of the operation. However, near Arnhem they met with German counter-attacks. Unfortunately Operation Market Garden turned out to be a failure. Approximately 10,600 troops fought at Arnhem, but only 2,400 returned. Over 1,500 were killed; the remainder were captured or wounded. If the operation had succeeded the war in Europe might have ended in 1944 and the post-war map of Europe would have been quite different. The major film A Bridge Too Far is based on this tragic event. After watching the film you will be taken around the museum by an English-speaking guide. Some of these guides witnessed Operation Market Garden at the time. The coach will then take us to the Canadian war Cemetery nearby where more than 1,000 Canadian soldiers were buried. These soldiers took the places left by the English and Americans after the invasion of Normandy and Operation Market Garden. Amersfoort and surrounding towns and villages were liberated by Canadians in April and May 1945. (In Oosterbeek, near Arnhem, is one of the British War Cemeteries in the Netherlands.) After a walk around the cemetery with a commanding view of the surrounding countryside the coach will leave for Nijmegen. 13:30 14:00 16:00 Coach leaves for Nijmegen Ice skating at TRIAVIUM (oval track and fun track) Return to Amersfoort

GENERAL INFOLots of tourists visit Holland in summer. There is no denying that this is the best time of the year to sit by the canals or take a bike trip through the country. Spring is a good time to visit too, as the bulb flowers are in full bloom in this season. April is the best month for daffodils, May for tulips. The Keukenhof flower exhibition is a wonderful place to visit during spring. Rain is spread pretty evenly over the year, so there is not much point in trying to avoid the Dutch drizzle. Winter can be quite cold, but you will find that the museums are not very busy, which is not a bad thing. If it gets cold enough for the canals and waterways to freeze over, the Dutch enjoy skating on the canals and flood plains.

AMSTERDAMAmsterdam is in the beautiful country of Holland, the principal language is Dutch, however, almost everyone speaks a second or third language (English or German usually). The country is remarkably un-hilly, in fact we would go as far to say that it is flat, completely flat! It is also fighting a battle against the sea, the country is located below the sea level. For this reason you will see many canals, tributaries and dykes. Windmills are also another feature, again these were utilised to combat the water. Amsterdam has become one of the richest cities in the world, it had a 'Golden Age' between 1580 and 1720 mainly due to the sale of flowers(very important to the wealthy of that time), spices, silk and porcelain. The population increased dramatically over this time. People became attracted to the cities rich pickings and chance of work. As a city, Amsterdam grew, and is consequently populated by several nationalities. The new rich contributed to the construction of the fine houses and the canals that are now a famed attraction of the city. In fact the canals are indeed an excellent way of travelling and sightseeing around the city and many tour companies run daily and hourly tours by canal barge. The houses look very strange too! They are generally no less than 4 floors, and occupy a very small amount of floor space. This is because the landlords used to be taxed on the area occupied (or 'footprint') of the building. This led one gentlemen to build a house many stories tall but just one meter wide; many tours will take you to this unique feat of construction. The attitude of the Dutch as a whole is one of 'live and let live' and they are well known for their unique language and enthusiasm. Amsterdam is infamous for its relaxed policy for sex and soft drugs. Although somewhat open, the drugs problem in Amsterdam is less of that in any comparable city. As with London and Paris, Amsterdam has a 'red-light district' which bustles with crowds until the early hours. This area is now somewhat of a tourist attraction and for the interested there is one company runs a fully guided tour of the district. This area in and around the red-light district is well policed and safe. Amsterdam, with this rich history of trading, has now made it the second most popular business city in the world. New York takes first place. Schiphol Airport is for Holland (and for Europe) very important. This Airport (one of the largest in the world) is for both tourists & business travelers the 'entrance' to Europe...Exchange Canada Holland 2012

Van Gogh Museum The Van Gogh Museums Van Gogh & Gauguin show, which closed on June 2, was an enormous success and attracted a total of 739,117 visitors. It is the highest number of visitors for a temporary exhibition at the museum since the major Van Gogh retrospective of 1990 and the number exceeded all expectations. Van Gogh & Gauguin was also presented at The Art Institute of Chicago last fall and 690,951 people saw the show there. Anne Frank House The Anne Frank House is a museum with a story. Its situated in the center of Amsterdam and holds the hiding place where Anne Frank wrote her famous diary during World War II. Anne Frank was a normal girl in exceptional circumstances. For more than two years she described the events of her daily life in hiding in her diary. The original version of the diary is on display as part of the Anne Frank House's permanent exhibition. The collection and temporary exhibitions focus on the wartime persecution of Jews, contemporary fascism, racism and anti-Semitism. Rembrandt House This house, which dates from 1606 and in which Rembrandt lived between 1639 and 1658, exhibits 250 of the 300 etchings Rembrandt created. Rembrandt was thirty-two when he moved into his charming house on Breestraat and he was at that point fully launched on a successful career. In 1658 however, Rembrandt was forced to leave the house and he was declared bankrupt. It might be interesting to know that the bankruptcy came about because the company who commissioned the famous "Night Watch" was dissatisfied with the painting, which eventually ruined his career! Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art The Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art offers by far the best collection of modern art in Amsterdam, with an emphasis on paintings. A number of works are permanently on view from the museum's renowned collection of paintings and sculpture, drawings, prints, photographs, graphic design, applied art and design and new media. A number of frequently changing exhibitions is always on view as well. Amsterdam Historical Museum The museum gives an overview of the history of Amsterdam from the 13th century to the present. Archeological finds, models, silver and gold exhibits, glass, earthenware, porcelain, paintings and prints show how the city grew from a small settlement along the river Amstel into a modern cosmopolitan city. One of the most interesting exhibits is an eighteenth-century coachExchange Canada Holland 2012

without wheels. According to council regulations - and to reduce the noise of wheels on the cobble streets - wealthy Amsterdammers had to travel by sleigh, even in summer. Jewish Historical Museum In 1987, this museum opened in the restored Ashkenazi Synagogue complex in the heart of what was once Amsterdam's thriving Jewish Quarter. It's home to the collection of paintings, decorations, and ceremonial objects confiscated during World War II and patiently restored in the postwar period. The museum focuses on Jewish identity, Jewish religion and culture, and Jewish history in the Netherlands. It presents the community in both good times and bad and provides insights into the Jewish way of life over the centuries. Leave time to appreciate the beauty and size of the buildings themselves, which include the oldest public synagogue in Europe. NEMO The NEMO Science and Technology Center is housed in a striking green building on Amsterdams Eastern Dock and faces the historic port of Amsterdam. The Italian architect Renzo Piano designed the building and it opened in 1997. NEMO literally means no one. The name refers to the voyage of discovery between fantasy and reality. Nowadays, discoveries and changes occur so rapidly that it is difficult to understand and be up-todate on everything. In NEMO, these modern developments are explained during a voyage of discovery. The roof terrace of the NEMO is accessible to visitors and non-visitors alike, and offers a breathtaking view of Amsterdam city. Madame Tussauds At Madame Tussauds Amsterdam you can meet famous Dutch and foreign personalities and celebrities. Walk up to renowned wax figures of famous politicians, singers and actors and admire technical special effects in the form of animatronics. Visit extraordinary scenes from Hollands Golden Age and entertaining moments from the present day. Netherlands Maritime Museum Appropriately housed in a monumental 17th century rigging house of the Amsterdam Admiralty, the Maritime Museum (Scheepvaartmuseum) explains the history and techniques of navigation and overseas trade that were the driving force behind the Dutch Golden Age.

Here are some interesting facts and figures for the city of Amsterdam (2009):Exchange Canada Holland 2012

CANAL BOAT TOURIt's worth taking one of the canal boat tours to see Amsterdam from the water. The tours last about 90 minutes and take you around the city and through the harbour. For the more energetic a canal bike can be hired from one of the several points through the city (Westerkerk, Leidseplein, Leidsestraat, Rijksmuseum) and you choose your own route.

can be hired at the Nieuwmarkt on the Kloveniersburgwal, at the corner of Leidsestraat and Prinsengracht, and at the other end of the Kloveniersburgwal near the Munt Tower. Some more interesting facts about Amsterdam: 100 kilometres of canals 1000 bridges 100 canals The ground is so waterlogged the houses are often built on wooden 'stilts' as a foundation Central station is built on 9000 stilts!! Schiphol Airport is 5 meters below sea level, Amsterdam is 1.5 meters below. Did you know that Amsterdam has 165 canals, 1281 bridges, 70 canal cruise boats, 8 wooden drawbridges, 2500 houseboats and 120 water bikes? A canal cruise is a must to explore and discover Amsterdam. Float leisurely along the canals and under the bridges and admire the unique architecture and street life. Authentic Amsterdam is full of surprises! The canals are one of the major attractions of Amsterdam, also called 'Venice of the North. By daytime the canals are charming, by night they become even more enchanting because many canal houses and bridges are beautifully illuminated. The four main canals in the canal belt are Prinsengracht (Princes Canal), Herengracht (Gentlemens Canal), Keizersgracht (Emperors Canal) and Singel. For a refreshingly different view of Amsterdam, try a canal boat tour. You'll notice numerous tour operators near Central Station and along the Damrak and Rokin downtown.

WHEN IN HOLLAND, EAT LIKE THE DUTCH! All that cycling, the traditional mode of transport in Holland, creates a healthy appetite. The bicycle, combined with the unpredictable Dutch weather, heavily influenced Dutch cuisine, which offers substantial, simple, and straight-forward fare. The daily eating pattern of the Dutch: round the clock: BREAKFAST Start your day with a wholesome Dutch breakfast: fresh bread with butter, jam, cheese, ham or chocolate sprinkles (hagelslag). Yes, youve read it correctly: Scatter chocolate sprinkles on your buttered bread. You might also want to eat a slice of breakfast cake (ontbijtkoek), a cake containing cinnamon and cloves as well as ground ginger. Be sure to drink lots of coffee or tea! Get yourself ready for the chilly rain, strong wind, wet snow storm or radiant sunny day. The Dutch climate is full of whimsical surprises. 10:30 a.m.... time for a cup of coffee COFFEE At 10:30 a.m. its time for the traditional cup of coffee. A cup of coffee is not just a cup of coffee in Holland. The small, but strong, cup is to be savoured while reading the newspaper or conversing at length with friends. Coffee is given as much time and consideration as a full meal! It is served and 'observed' everywhere: at home, at the office, in shops or at school. LUNCH Lunch is another bread and butter meal, the same as breakfast, perhaps served with thinly sliced cold meats. More coffee, tea, milk or buttermilk. An uitsmijter will satisfy your hunger pangs. It consists of bread with slices of cheese or meat, topped with fried eggs. In winter a simple order of Dutch pea soup (erwtensoep) will satisfy your hunger and re-charge your batteries. Look for these specialities on the menu.

TEA TIME At 4 p.m. it's time for tea. Be sure to try a delicious Dutch pastry (gebak) or a piece of vlaai from the province of Limburg. If you walk past a cafe or small restaurant that advertises poffertjes, be sure to walk in and try these mini pancakes with lashings of butter and sugar. If youre in the mood for a snack while on the move, grab a cone of French fries (patat) smothered in mayonnaise or sate sauce. Try it before you judge!Exchange Canada Holland 2012

20

THE 'BORREL' At 5 p.m. it's time for a "drink", a borrel as the Dutch call it. A glass of beer, a nip of Dutch greener (Dutch gin), a glass of wine or sherry accompanied by cheese, nuts, or crackers. A favourite snack is 'bitterballen, deep-fried breaded meat balls, eaten by toothpick and dipped in mustard. Mmmm! Lekker (as the Dutch say!) Speaking of mustard: In the picturesque restored village of Zaanse Schans, you can visit a genuine mustard mill and see how mustard seeds are actually ground into the delicious result. The Zaanse Schans mustard is well worth tasting and purchasing! DINNER Come dinnertime, the choice of food in Holland is as varied as the weather. Restaurants representing Hollands multicultural backgrounds have mushroomed all over, ranging from French to Indonesian to Thai to Pakistani. However, in Dutch homes old traditions die hard and the simple, substantial meals of potatoes, fresh vegetables, meat, chicken, fish or salad, followed by a milk-based dessert, are still favourite. If you ask a Dutch man or woman what is being served for dinner, he or she will first mention the vegetable being served. The meat, fish or chicken takes second place. Popular winter dishes are stampot (mashed potatoes mixed with cale or sauerkraut and meat) and snert (pea soup, in which your spoon can stand upright.) For dessert the Dutch like vanilla or chocolate vla (custard). AFTER DINNER After dinner, the Dutch enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. In fact, if you are invited to someones home after dinner, youll first be served coffee or tea with a piece of cake or pie. This is followed by a drink. Visiting friends and family in each others homes is part of traditional, fine Dutch hospitality. Its a way of life. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs presents 'A Word to the Cook' as well as an extensive list of Dutch recipes. DELICIOUS DUTCH TREATS: BITTERBALLEN Savory Creamy Meatballs would be an appropriate translation of the word 'bitterballen'. These deep-fried meatballs are filled with a beef ragout and have a crispy outside. They are often served at cocktail parties or as a snack with a pre-dinner drink. You eat these tasty deep-fried morsels hot, on a toothpick, dipped in mustard.Exchange Canada Holland 2012

21

KROKETTEN These golden brown fried tasty titbits can be eaten as a cocktail treat, but they can also be inserted in a bread roll, smothered in mustard, and devoured as a tasty mini-sandwich. The crocket is the larger version of the bitterbal. Any snack bar has a kroket for you.

During the first week of the exchange in Amersfoort all participating students will be working on a project. On Monday 6 February we will decide on our division of tasks. You will then start on your research for the week. There will also be some homework involved. The title of our project is:

Throughout the week you will learn many things about Dutch and Dutch/Canadian history. The knowledge you will have gained will be translated into an end product of your choosing. In different groups you will work on this end product and will present it on the last Friday in front of our group. One presentation will be held in the auditorium in front of all the exchange groups from Europe and Canada. More information on the project and which end products you can produce will be given on the Monday.
