Orion Estate
Great news! I am going to move… after living for almost a year in a boring apartment complex, from the first of July I will live in the midst of the cultural heart of Saint Louis. A nice house, with three stories, called ‘Orion’ will be my residency, rooming together with Joe and Mark (two fellow Dutchies, though they see themselves as Canadian 
). It is at walking distance from Forest Park (a huge park in the middle of Saint Louis), the Loop (a European style neighborhood with lots of shops and restaurants with terasses), Memorial (my church), Washington Univ with its nice library where you can study very well, and countless musea (among which the science museum with a planetarium), the zoo and the botanical gardens. Needless to say that I am very happy! And its even cheaper than were I live right now!

Earthquake
alright, from the middle of the Saint Louis night, a small update. I just experienced my first earthquake (5.4 on the Richter scale), and I must admit that it was quite scary. Although the epicentre was about 128 miles away from us, still everything was moving, things came off the wall, etc. It seems quiet now again, so time to sleep a bit more!
