People always say that you should try and eat the local cuisine in a place. Clarissa helped me to do this last night. Apparently Dutch food is basically take anything, and deep fry it. Especially common is chips which they serve most often with mayo, and because chips are already fried, to make them Dutch, they fry them again. I'm not kidding.
Clarissa also took me out last night, to meet a few of her friends and go to a club. It was crazy how many of the people in the room at the pre-drinks had been to NZ. Anyway so I ended up at this little Dutch club with a group of Germans (Clarissa and her friends). Then when I was standing in the doorway the bouncer got talking to me and asked me where I was from, I said NZ and he told me he was from Indonesia. so we were souhern hemisphere buddies. Each time he saw me after that he would wink and say 'hey New Zealand'.
Tonight will be dinner with Clarissa and a few of her friends, and tomorrow back to Amsterdam, to hopefully meet up with Sophie with no hitches. This is the point in time it would be very useful to have cell phones that worked. I have a cell phone but no sim card yet, and Sophie has no credit on her phone.
