Wednesday, January 6 @ 18.10; Rijnstraat, Amsterdam
Living in Thumbelina-land, this tiny Disneyland country we call Holland, swings between charming, sad, frustrating and downright comical. I am not sure which category this falls in to, perhaps all four at once, but look at the traffic chaos that 2 cm snow has caused this evening. The most major ringroad highway of the country, around Amsterdam, has come to a total standstill. And how about this: the country has run out of sand and rocksalt for the roads and can't get more for many days. And this will likely be something they end up talking about in the Parliament! Ah, you gotta love it and laugh or you're gonna hate it and cry. Oh wait, I do that also sometimes.
