(Torenstraat , Breda)

Personally, I chose Breda as my destination because it is located between the UK and Scandinavia. So if I want to go to one of these countries where others students study, it will be easier.

Secondly, Holland is a country with a cultural past and there are lots of cities that we can visit. We can go to Belgium or Luxembourg, which are located next to the Netherland.

Moreover, Breda is the capital of shoes and it is an interessant things.

Then, the currency is the Euro and it is very practical. We avoid to have to change our money.

But the real reason is that I have family in Rotterdam (40km from Breda) ; it is the most convenient destination to see them!!

Ludo

I choose Breda almost for the same reasons than Ludo.

The Nederlands are not so far from Scandinavia so we can visit Denmark, Norway and Sweden without we have to spend a lot of money. We can visit our friends in Ireland and England too.

Besides, I want to discover Dutch culture and Dutch history. For instance, I want to visit Anne Frank's museum in Amsterdam, practise ice-skate in front of windmills or try to surf in La Haye.

Life in Breda is less expensive than other countries as Denmark or Finland. And as Ludo said, we don't have to change our euros, it's easier!

The main way of moving in the Nederlands is biking, I think it's funnier than driving. And a little bit of sport can't kill us.

As the majority of girls, I enjoy shopping. Breda has a lot of shoeshops.

Margaux

Going to study in another country is a great opportunity. Breda is quite a convenient destination as it is not that far from France, and other countries if we wish to travel a bit. And as Margaux said it is the less expensive destination !

Now, when I think Breda, shoes and cheese jump to my mind. But, I also think of South Africa. I lived in Cape Town for 8 years and I am very curious to see the similitudes between the Dutch and South African culture.
