I found the only place on Schiphol Airport where you are not bothered by annoying audio messages: the depot of the Rijksmuseum. Unfortunately you also don't hear messages that they are urging you to come to to gate because it's closing. I can assure you: you run a lot faster when know that your gate is closing. But the flight went well. At this moment everything is just a big adventure. The campus has enormous luxurious buildings, the other exchange students are great people to spend my time with and I walk from one surprise into another.
