Hi world,
Yes, I am still alive. Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. If you check out my pictures I've seen and done a few more things. I have mostly just been relaxing and planning places to check out. I made a whole list of places in the Netherlands that I want to see before I leave, including the town I was born in. Other than that, I really don't have much to update. I've tried a few more Dutch food, mainly just snacks and such. I also had Dutch soup and some bread with chocolate sprinkles. Randomly, I'll eat something and I remember it from growing up. Things have a familiar taste. I have really enjoyed rediscovering little things from growing up. Also, it's nice to have control over what I eat. I've eaten more vegetables here than I have during my entire stay in Sevilla. I am also going to a nearby city to go see windmills soon, and hopefully I can catch a cheese market! I've really been just relaxing but I miss home terribly. It is so much tougher to meet people here than I expected. I have not met a single person my age yet. I heard some girls speak English the other day in a shopping area and part of me wanted to chase after them and beg them to become my friends. But to my better judgement, I let them walk away.
On other subjects, for some reason Birkenstocks are really popular here. No clue why but they are much more affordable here. Dutch men are quite handsome and TALL! Thank goodness. It's such a nice contrast to short Spanish guys. There are lots of mixed couples here. It's nice to see a variety of different types of people.
My summer in the Netherlands so far has been disappointing and not what I expected or hoped.
Anyways, still dying of boredom (sorta), so if you have movie/tv suggestions let me know!
