things I've learned…

Now that I am living in Holland, I pretty much have to relearn how to do everything I thought I knew. And am just learning things in general.

Thus far I have learned where the flusher is on the toilet and how to flush it.
After a cold night of sleeping, I learned how to turn my heater on.
Learning to look both ways for bikes; not cars (and it is extremely difficult to get a license in the Netherlands, it takes years and several thousand euro).
Bought myself a train ticket and learned no one takes credit cards here.
The sun does not rise until after 8am and sets around 5pm.
I am learning how to play darts.
Learning to say dutch words while sounding like I am hacking up my lunch.
The dutch have Hollands Next Top Model and Project Catwalk (not Project Runway).
No one has an oven.
St. Nicholas's Eve (5 December) is a bigger deal than Christmas.
Do not go into a café if you are looking for coffee, you will not find it there.
