don't leave. |
Day one
Leaving. International flyers really should get to the airport at least 3 hours before the flight leaves. Even though I was flying business class there were at least 10 people in front of me and apparently being a business call world travelers mean that you get 20 minutes of alone time with the check in person. Only took an hour getting on the plane. Then this woman enters after me and before even sitting in her seat asks the hostess "Are there any other seats?" looking down at me then back at the stewardess then back down at me stating... "No offense." Ummm yeah... none taken. Go back to your freak country you bitch. Oh, wait... you are. The seats were comfortable but when they recline (almost flat) it was at the pefect angle that, should you try to lay on your side -- which you couldn't cause they were just not wide enough -- you leg would fall asleep in the matter of 15 minutes.
And then... there were 2 year old twins that would not stop crying. 11 hours on a plane with children that would not stop crying... they should go back to their country. Oh, wait... they are. We also traveled across Canada/Iceland and as a shout out to Chris Jones and his adventures in the never dimming world of Sweden I can sympathise cause although you could close the blinds the sun still shown through for the entire trip.
The movies, always seemed to miss the start of them by 20 minutes. Outside of that the flight was great.
Airport was just like any other. Athough custons and declaration was a little odd.
Hotel reservation cancelled like 2 days after it was made. Great. Now I'm in a foreign land and homeless. Stephanie out to lunch. Damn it. Oh, but wait there are rooms available but no reservation for you. Uhhh.... ok. So give me a room. No problem. There you go. You have a room. But the room wont be ready till 3pm. No please leave the hotel. And do what???? Walked around and in the first 5 seconds realize that although everyone might speak english, all the signs, and I MEAN ALL the signs, are in Dutch. So If I were to type Deriovijngijeliehik that could very well be a dutch word but it still looks like gibberish. I walk around for a good hour and a half then realize even though I have a map I still dont have a clue where the fuck I am. Nor do I know where I'm going. I'm dying for a drink but want something refreshing vs. coke. No starbucks around to get an iced tea (which apparently is carbonated). Gave up from intimidation then finally found a place that had gatoraid (2E which is about 2.50). Went back to the hotel got the room called stephanie and took a short nap that ended up being the rest of the night but after not sleeping on the flight I didn't feel that bad about it.

Posted by: missy at July 14, 2004 12:18 PMYES! rocco posted... I haven't read it yet... i was so astonished it brought me to tears. BTW, everyone, rocco lives in L.A, and he was shipped off to AmsterD to work on... wait for it... Deuce Bigalow, European Gigalo!
Posted by: jeremie at July 14, 2004 5:40 PMRocco!! I can't believe you don't get internet in your hotel!!! Those europeans are so far behind...damn them. How far ahead are you now (hours)? Do you have an aol account that you can use when you're at work? Send it to me then I can bug you all day- you'll LOVE it! So is it Summer out there now? I'm so worldly...
Posted by: becky at July 14, 2004 9:58 PMI hear ya Rocco! I hate the Dutch. They always smell like herring and have hairy arm pits.
The one good thing is that they outlawed Starbucks. If you want a good cup coffee you don't need to know english, just walk up to anyone in the street and say. "Hash?" They will point you to a place where you can get a great cup of Java. Have a Brownie too. I think you'll like it.
Keep posting, Bud! Becky has to learn to share. Send some Pic's if you can!
haha. i'm eating brownies RIGHT NOW. unfortunately they're not "funny brownies" like rocco can get. actually i made them at your house rocco and then took them with me. your oven still works. so does the fridge and the toaster. oh, but your eggs expired. i left them in there for your housesitter. a "joke" of sorts. muuahahahaha.
becky, Amsterdam is still "above the equator" like we are, so yes they share the same seasons. but i'm sure they call it something "dutch" like, Duesleflaggen.
Posted by: missy at July 15, 2004 3:19 PMThe scientists in question seem to me to confuse the Author of Nature with the Editor of 'Nature'; or at any rate to suppose that there can be no productions of the former which would not be accepted for publication by the latter. And I see no reason to believe this. by free online poker
