Another country done



I do not feel bad at all as I am getting ready to depart the Netherlands, because it is getting cold here, and I will be going to a nice warm place with beautiful beaches and my family. With two days to go, I am starting to feel antsy for the warmth and the salt air of my land.

Tips
·        Make sure you look before you cross, not just for cars, but for bicycles, they go very fast and if you are on their way, they will run you over while they scream at you for being on their way.
·        There are sidewalks for you to walk, there are paths for the bicycles, lines for cars, and for buses. Everything is well marked; there is no need for accidents.
·        Trains are very expensive, however, you can buy a off peak discount card for €15 which gives you 40% discount on the tickets after 9am, and it can be used for up to 3 people. The only catch is that you have to travel together.
·        It does not matter what cheese you buy, they are all delicious.
·        Same for the beer.

FYI
When you go to the beauty salon, just because you are getting your hair color, does not mean that the shampoo is included in the price.  Just because you are getting shampoo, does not mean that the conditioner is included either. Nor is the blow dry. Everything you want, you need to pay separately, like a la carte.
