Day 2 - Sunday, 1 March
On the second day, we had our main activity that is the solidarity act towards the illegalised immigrants and refugees. After we arrived at the prison yard, Jia Jia's father and some other participants from Catholic Workers gave some short speeches. Then, we began marching along the prison while showing our banners and blowing the whistles so that they could hear we're giving them spirit and support from the outside. The most exhilarating moment was when we could see them waving and beaming to us as we're prohibited to enter the prison.

In the afternoon, 5 of us decided to have typical Dutch cuisines in our lunch time. We went to a restaurant whose name is De Carousel hence ordered Poffertjes and Pannenkoeken.
 |
| Poffertjes are baby pancakes sprinkled with the icing sugar. Super gurih, lembut, creamy, bikin nagih! |
 |
Roshni's pancake with mushroom, mozzarella, and ham as its topping.
Dutch pancake is quite different in its shape and size. Thinner yet wider. |

The trip's continued by our visit to Anne Frank's house, Prinsengracht. It used to be Anne's and her family's hiding place during the World War II from the German Nazi military. Anne was young Jewish girl who's very well-known of her wartime diary during her hiding in the Secret Annexe. That place is now opened to public as a museum from 09.00 AM - 07.00 PM. The entrance ticket is quite reasonable, €4.5 for <18 years old visitor and €9.0 for over 18 y.o. However, in order to prevent any damage of the conserved items inside, visitors are not allowed to take any photograph inside the museum.
