apeldoorn
Well, seeing Anna again and meeting Jorrit is nice. Though I feel like I'm invading someone's home a bit, since they're not on vacation and I'm visiting during the workweek.
This is a funny country. Everyone's packed like sardines into this tiny country, so I guess it's to be expected, this mix of new and old.
Out of 25 channels I'm getting in front of me right now there's one that's a 24/7 porn channel. And unlike Canadian television they seem to be able to broadcast cumshots and anal penetration.
But I wouldn't know if they can do anal in Canada... don't watch much late night porn. Nights are for watching stuff like Dexter on the on-demand channels. National Geographic seems to be playing stuff on Russian nuclear subs... but since the volume's all the way down so people can sleep, I can't hear it. It appears to be in German (with dutch subtitles)... German subtitles would be more useful to me, and CNN's got Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer on. I hate Situation Room and Wolf Blitzer, so I'm not bothering.
At least pornography doesn't need audio to convey most of what its getting at.
Apeldoorn's interesting. Not much excitement but that's good right now as I try to recover from this cold. Sitting in parks, writing postcards, stuff like that. Very busy shopping street though, and of course, since the Dutch won tonight in the Euro... that totally made the streets a huge party as well, but since I wasn't downstairs watching the game (I was up here, watching the game) and I already saw them win a bigger match against France while in Amsterdam... I'd rather not go out and get more sick.
Of course, not being such a big tourist town, I stand out like a sore thumb. Not knowing any Nederlands makes it worse. I alleviate that by ordering my favourite lunch... fries with mayo. Sitting outside with fries with mayo makes me one of them. My appearance as a strange foreigner from far-away lands (or worse, an American... such is the woe of Canadian tourists) can be alleviated by a slight tinge of a British accent (as though I was an expatriat) and eating local fastfoods.
I should go. Other business calls.
