words into a single one?” At least, now<br />
it had sense the date of the event.<br />
People who didn’t go to the event:<br />
you missed some great time! Well,<br />
personally I really enjoyed, even<br />
though I couldn’t drink that day due<br />
to a excess of alcohol in my blood<br />
from previous three days. I don’t<br />
know about Dutch people, but for me<br />
it’s really funny to see Santas’ clone,<br />
his ‘helper’ and what was your role<br />
Jolien??? Whoever, on a pool table,<br />
drinking beer like if it was water. For<br />
me it is quality entertainment watching<br />
Tim, Wayne and the rest of P3 trying<br />
to make a story with a bunch of tinygirly<br />
toys; watching that Kevin wrote<br />
a 15 minutes poem for the ladies<br />
with special jokes for most of them<br />
(really Kevin? Were you that idle?)<br />
Well, maybe it wasn’t 15, but it was<br />
in Dutch, so I could understand only<br />
20%. Even funnier when the poem the<br />
girls wrote to us was like 6 pages long<br />
(really, where Dutch people get the<br />
time?) saying that P5 players should<br />
be suffering for the cold because of<br />
our origins in warmers latitudes, so of<br />
course, we got a blanket for the team<br />
and a cake that was also a game,<br />
which we were apparently loosing<br />
because we all had to drink; actually,<br />

REPORTAGE<br />
everyone was drinking beer, so<br />
the game was a way of make it<br />
more appealing.<br />
It was also quality entertainment<br />
looking at a selection player<br />
wearing a woman dress, the<br />
coach being teased by his<br />
players, and players sitting on<br />
Sinterklaas lap to hear a special<br />
poem and get a special gift, like a<br />
huge pot of gel, or any other thing<br />
which was specially thought for<br />
that person. It cannot be not fun when<br />
you create ways for people to drink. If<br />
this letter is published, probably most of<br />
the readers, probably you will be Dutch<br />
people who might think that there’s<br />
nothing special or super-entertained<br />
in what I said before, but believe me,<br />
when you see it with our eyes, when<br />
I see the effort and enthusiasm you<br />
placed in this activity, like many others<br />
I’ve lived here with <strong>Pusphaira</strong>, you<br />
really can get admired by this culture<br />
and you really can get amazed, after<br />
all, this was my first Sinterkerst.<br />
