Today was a long day for all of us.  We were all up early this morning around 6am.  We then all got dressed and headed for the train station.  At the train station there was lots of confusion.  We had a difficult time trying to buy train tickets, and had to seek help from the unfriendly train station workers. After figuring out how to purchase the tickets we realized that the first train we were supposed to be getting on was late. This caused us to miss our connecting train.  We got on a later train to The Haag but ended up being very late to our meeting with the dutch government.

Oracle hired a woman named Sandarene to help us get to our appointments with the Dutch government.   The first place she took us was to get our resident permits in The Haag.  This took about 30 minutes so we did not really have an opportunity to see much of The Haag.  Then we drove back from The Haag to Amsterdam with Sandarene.  She thankfully drove us in her car so we didnt have to try and navigate the train again.  On the drive back we saw some of the famous dutch windmills which was pretty exciting!  

In Amsterdam we went to the World Trade Center where dad was given his work permit and we were all assigned a BSN number.  The second appointment in the World Trade Center was at the bank.  Here mom and dad got a dutch bank account and were given european debit cards.  After finishing at the World Trade Center we came home and all took a long nap.
