Yes i assume they get cold too, although I have been unable to snag a pic!!
We experienced our first rainy couple of days. Apparently it rains a lot in holland, I guess like Seattle. But I have my handy raincoat and bought this cute umbrella at h&m. H&M here is better than at willowbrook and my new go to store lol...
Rain makes you shop! I found my new favorite store V&D... People kept telling me to go to a place called Fay and day... I finally figured it out. It's 6 stories, kind of like a department store and with an amazing view of haarlem www.vd.nl
Also this cute little cafe that I wanted to show my first boss Dr. Charlie who I hope is reading this every now and then too...
It's amazing how everyone here speaks English but its also because it would be really annoying to have to dub all their shows I guess! I'm lucky because tv shows and movies and music are mainly in English. There is this show called Eurovision 2013. It's the biggest hit in Europe At the moment, and each country picked a band or musician and they are competing ... All the songs they sing are mainly in English too lol. It's so funny and provides my reality tv fix..I miss the voice.
We also ventured over to the Pathe which is their version of AMC. I was imagining a small theatre like Dobie or river oaks but these are decently large (average American) theaters. We saw the great gatsby which was in English and subtitled in Dutch. Let's just say Leonardo makes Dutch women just as happy as American women... There was a definite gasp when he first showed up. I mean come on.. I want a man like Leo as Gatsby who doesn't die. And I want Daisy's wedding ring too.
I bought my own ring for now.. Opal. Anyone remember that campaign? Women of the world raise your right hand? Or how about independent woman? I bought it... Lol
But here is the part that you want to know about--- the theatre had the best concession store ever! Ben and Jerry's, chips, nachos, popcorn, candy, any drink you could want, kettle corn!!!! It was like a CVS inside the movies!
Dr. Charlie and i still haven't met and I blame that on you Laura... Perhaps we can finally met at his cafe!
