Netherlands - again

Sunday, 21st Sept. 2008. I found myslef back in Netherlands. I landed at the Amstersdam Schiphol, and aaaaahhh ..... a familiar land once again. I had quite a lot of time between collecting the baggage and my train to Emmen, so what else to do other than browse around. First matter of business, alcohol shopping, yesssss!!!!! But somehow, I found the booze to be more expensive in NL than in the UK. Although I didn't remember the exact Aberdeen figures, but still, it was a hunch. But I knew I was coming back again to NL. That meant that I could have the NL figure in mind, plus I can check out the booze at the local shop in Aberdeen, and when I'm flying, at the duty-free, how convenient. And then again, I see an even more heart warming sight .... Alber Heijn!!!!!! Brought back so many fond memories from last year.

The train journey to Emmen was pretty good. I later realised why I loved this country so much. Everythings almost perfect. Take the train for instance; it's clean, spacious, cheap (paid for by the company at least) and most of all, punctual. So that meant I could easily throw myself back into the seat, set up an alarm and sleep, and when I'd get up, I'd know that my station hasn't passed by.

Also, I'm not a big fan of greenery and the environment and nature and all those things. But there's something about the farms in NL, with the white and blue sky and a single jet passing through with a, orange jet stream. I don't know but that just seems to be fascinating. Also, this time around I saw the horses in NL. I didn't know the Dutch have thoroughbred horses. So eventually, I had the seekh kababs, the burgers and the horses walking around and grazing in the fields.

And there are the babes. Wow!!!! Back to land of the amazing legs and beautiful butts. I think I'll put in another post about what I think of the ladies in the two places i.e. NL and Aberdeen.

The rest in Netherlands was pretty much the usual - small towns, few people, late night thursdays, crowded weekends, bustling centrum. That's the usual. I guess it's the same case in the whole of Europe, except for Spain, which I've heard is more like Mera Bhaarat Mahaan. I hope to go there and visit the place sometime in the next year till I'm here.

Let's see ....
