Things You Wouldn't See

In the States, you just wouldn't see a 45 minute Oprah show, at least not without the aid of TiVo. Here, Oprah, Dr. Phil, MLB, NFL ... it's all shown without the commercials between 75% of of the commercial breaks. When Oprah says, "We'll be right back," she really is right back - in 5 seconds!

Yesterday was full of "wouldn't sees".
-The white guy being the one getting arrested in an ethnic neighborhood.
-A UFO on top of a building.
-So many people in line at the afhaal shop, they were outside the door waiting on the sidewalk. (You can guess what they were buying.)
-Trains that mysteriously split in half somewhere en route.
-Honden Toiletten signs. At least in the States, they are kindly named "dog runs".
-300 year old windmills, 600 year old homes, 900 year old churches.

Pictures coming...but not as fast as Oprah will be back.
