don't know when i'll be back again...

i have officially been in holland for... i dunno, a day or so.

you know what? all the worry, all the omigoodness-i'm-freaking-out-on-the-airplane, all that? i'm pretty sure it was all for nothing.

t. and n. are lovely. absolutely lovely. i went grocery shopping this morning with t. and he bought me all sorts of yummy things. food is a big deal to them, i think. they were explaining it... n. was in a horrible accident several years ago, so now they live life as it is meant to be lived. dinner last night was absolutely lovely - t. likes to bbq, so we enjoyed barbequed pork and chicken.

my room is lovely, and i'm now oficially hooked up to wireless internet, and i have t.v. and everything i need.

almere is beautiful... it's new, only existed in the past 20 years or so, and so clean and well planned. they have seperate "bike roads" alongside the regular ones, and a seperate "bus road" as well. their garbage bins are all linked by a pipe, and at regular intervals during the day the contents are sucked into the main pipe. it's so cool. there are lots of trees and parks and water, and it's just gorgeous.

today we visited a kind of petting zoo, which doubles as a monkey rescue center, and then we hung out downtown. it was really quite cool. after that, we went to this really famous ice cream place, and i had this strawberry thing, and it was practically a meal and it was fabulous.

henry fondastraat is a part of a section in almere called the hollywood area. the houses there were all designed by modern architects, and there are slanting houses, houses with glass walls, houses with rounded ceilings, so many awesome ones.

anyways, that's it for now.
muwah!
