general observations of the x-mas period

Saturday, December 27th, 2008
  • Working at Hello is like reliving your teenage years sometimes
  • The concept of lillejuleaften (little x-mas eve) is yet another Danish reason to get drunk and misbehave (“de bloemetjes buiten zetten” as we say in Holland)
  • The purser on my flight had a rather interesting twitch of explaining the safety procedures: “Stop screaming before you put on the oxygen mask. Seriously, STOP SCREAMING!”
  • Flying into Amsterdam Schiphol airport is still one of my favorite approaches of the world. Holland can indeed be pretty!
  • I have to agree with my foreign friends that Dutch toilet design is really weird
  • Dutch television content hasn’t changed over the last years
  • I don’t like Teletubbies
  • Holland is flat.. really flat!
  • Amsterdam is still a nice city
  • But, I miss Copenhagen and consider it as my home

priorities – part 3

Because cycling on my bike was now becoming slower than plain walking, I cut the knot (dutch saying) and bought a new Stalen Ros (dutch name for bike).

It’s retro and perdy :)

I parked my old bicycle unlocked at CBS (Fasanvej), if you need a crapy bike!
