A leap into the unknown Brazil

It was a raining day when I decided to leave my temporary house in Berkel en Rodenrijs to know the famous beach of Kijkduin in Den Haag. Firstly I thought that it was going to be easy my trip and my moves were clear: first, Pijnacker; second Nootdorp; and finally Den Haag. However, my internet was over when I reached Pijnacker and my willing of going to Kijkduin was strongest than anything, and even without directions and the insufficient knowledge of the Dutch language, I would go there just with the sure that if I follow this direction, and with my faith in God's help I should arrive in my destination. Thus, I started to trace my "Konami Code" through the cities of the Netherlands and finally arrive in Den Haag. Since my arrival in the Netherlands, I have listened of how much wonderful was the city of Den Haag with its Internacional community, but what I have found there was a chaotic city, where all the houses were at the same size and same colour, which were disturbing my real location. What once I thought that it was going to be a wonderful place to know, become my first nightmare when I get lost and was obligated to make my "Konami Reverse Code" since the sky was falling down and I was without lights that could guide me back home and shout the old phrase " Home Sweet Home."
