Tourist.

Been back in The Netherlands for a bit, basically being a tourist in my home country. Noticing a couple of things.

In downtown Utrecht, 1 in 5 stores is a telephone shop -- I'm not even exaggerating that much. Of the remaining four, one shop seems to be a Zappataria. The other three stores are H&M's.

Leotards are back in fashion.

The A2 (highway between Utrecht and Amsterdam) is (mostly) finished. 5 lanes. But the speed limit is 100 :/

Stuff.

Am in The Netherlands for work-visit till 9/11, or 11/09, as we say in ddMM land. But, yes indeedy, I will fly back to the US in a plane on 9/11 / 11/09. I expected tickets to be a little cheaper on that date, on account of people still being scared by 9/11 / 11/09-type stuff, but apparently everyone's over it.

Of the typical Dutch things to do, so far I've only had pancakes for dinner. And vla for dessert, but that's practically mandatory. And been on public transport. They still don't have WiFi on the trains.

Doelpunt voor Oranje

Is "Doelpunt voor Oranje" een hit in NL?

Ik heb er in ieder geval een download / ringtoon / beltoon van gemaakt :).
