Second day in the Netherlands
Well, after a good night's rest, food, and some fine beer (Palm, never heard of it, but it was tasty nonetheless), I'm feeling more adjusted to my new surroundings. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the culture shock (combined with sleep deprivation) was a bit overwhemling. The hardest part was trying to function in surroundings where everything is not written in English. For instance, I had the worst time trying to figure out the buses here. You pretty much have to be reliant upon the citizens here to help an old Yank like myself navigate this place. And forget trying to remember street names. Everything has strange spellings like Hjuuulkenkking and crap like that. Well, that wasn't an actual street name, but it may as well been for my ethnocentric mind. Eitherway, it's a humbling experience.
Well, my minutes are running out on this computer, so untill next time...
Good times!
