Oh man, these dutch are entertaining people. I'm having a rather interesting time. This place, it's like...Ikea. Everything is simple and it makes sense, and everyone is seemily super happy.

So on the train the way here, it was an interesting solution I saw to a problem. A whole bunch of people are sleeping on the train, so the servers/waiters come out and have a loud conversation that basically wakes everybody up. It's about 10 minutes before the arrival so you can wake up and get your stuff ready. I was angry at the lady at the time for talking so loud, then you realize maybe that's her intent? I mean, what does she care if you intensely don't like her for all of 20 minutes at most. It's not like she'd see you again, and if she does you can't do too much about it.

Second thing. I found that the best way for me to explore a city is to get lost. Today I tried a bit of a failed experiment, but was fun nonetheless. Basically, just go in blind, and figure it out from there. I read a study a few years back saying that there are different kinds of travellers. Some like to plan everything out, and some wing it, and there's all kinds in between. I like to wing it. So, taking the transit failed, my stop wasn't labelled as to the street I knew and Dutch is a terible language to try to read it's maps. All of these huge long names, and the city a increasing spherical coordinate system. I was just getting used to the manic, node system in Paris! Everyone takes transit, that seems cool, and tons of people on bikes. I ended up getting off the bus early, then cabbing it. Ah it's nice to have that power sometimes hahaha.

Ok, must get back to the city. But I think I'll have a lot more interesting things to say later.
