Top Ten Week Two Discoveries

1. Dutch trains are very reliable…except when trying to get to Rome.
2. Despite train troubles in Holland, a two-hour plane trip to Rome is quite worth it!
3. Toaster ovens only go up to 250 degrees…took me awhile to figure out that’s Celsius.
4. “American Pizza” comes with corn kernels.
5. Bell peppers are “paprikas”. How convenient.
6. Twix bars aren’t as sweet here.
7. Residence permits and custom approval letters in Dutch don’t make much sense (assuming that’s what those letters were).
8. Twenty roses for Euro 4.50 … that’s heaven.
9. Dutch weather – sunshine, hail, snow, rain. All in 30 minutes.
10. 7 days not on a bike…I'm not Dutch yet!
