The Netherlands summer 2007






Frantisek finally defended his thesis! He is now a Doctor who can cure no one. He, however, got the chance to wear a ‘White Tie’ or informally referred to as the evening dress. The Dutch called it a ‘Rokkostuum’ I refer to it regularly as the penguin suit. It was a present he got for his defense. He, being old-fashioned and all, was absolutely thrilled by the present. In fact, before the defense, he had been telling me all types of excuses as to why he should not get a ‘White tie’. His obsession in repeatedly telling me all those reasons only showed that he really wanted one.

The trip to Holland was nice. We stayed with Boban and his two women. Lidija, his wife, is as beautiful as ever. She is also very funny at times, though you need to catch her off guard for her funniness. Dunja is now a very bossy 4-year old. If anyone dares to stand between her and the TV, she will pinch you real hard with her little fingers, which turned from pink to transparent when she used the force. I shall never irritate Serbian women.
