i moved to amsterdam a little under three months ago to begin a year of au pair-ing. being an au pair is the equivalent of taking a year off to figure out what to do with your life. although in serious cases of being "lost" this year is sometimes repeated.
this isn't my first time living in europe, so i think i was immune to the "culture shock" upon arrival in the netherlands. i lived in germany before, and it's pretty much the same here except for the language. the dutch language is another thing in itself. oh yeah, and the stamppot. bleh.
some things i like so far:
stroopwafels
chocomel
sinterklaas (minus zwarte piet)
pancakes
some things i don't like so far:
cold
no sunshine
short days
