I'm leaving again. 24 hours and I will (hopefully) be in the air, on my way to Europe for the first time. I land in Frankfurt and then I'm taking an express train to Utrecht in the Netherlands, where I'll be working for 1 year. I'm excited but also scared to be jumping into another adventure with so many unknowns. I feel like I'm going to have more culture shock in Europe than anywhere I've been in Asia.
Here's what I know about the Netherlands so far to demonstrate my lack of preparedness:
- tulips
- lots o' CHEESE
- everyone cycles all the time
- windmills
- "Gezellig"
- very liberal country
- canals
- clogs
- black licorice
- the Dutch language has some pretty awesome swear words
Wish me luck!
