(we're the first to get the air that's passed the British islands anyway, and the many rivers and canals make for lots of evaporation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I want to visit Windmills and eat tulips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howeverm, some words and pronunciation can differ a lot) Also, dont eat tullips. You'd have a big chance of food poisoning. Eat stroopwafels and bitterballen instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilBear Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I enjoyed Holland. I'd love to go back. Schiphol has a hotel inside the airport. that was nice. I couldn't enjoy my short stay too much though. I'd been awake over 48 hours by the time I got there. Have fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stopped there to fly further the next day, then? 10 minutes ago, DevilBear said: I enjoyed Holland. I'd love to go back. Schiphol has a hotel inside the airport. that was nice.

So I spent my 13 hours wandering around, talking to the locals. Such nice people. Their food though... I mean... it wasn't bad... but it wasn't great lol.

It was a "Dutch sampler platter" of sorts, the guy told me. Some off tasting sausages. What I thought was cheese but I don't think was cheese. I was also extremely sleep deprived though so filet mignon might have tasted like cardboard at that point, I'm not too sure lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
