Hold on Magnolia to that great highway moon…

July-December 2008

To summarize four-five months in one post is not easy. I tried to summarize three in the past post and that was easier, but that was because it was quite strong emotions and feelings during that time. From the end of July and onwards things started looking quite good, but I was still a bit curious to what a move to Amsterdam would mean. Almost half a year into living in Amsterdam it is pretty much what I'd expected - interesting and quite fun but you don't really feel at home in this city. Not as much as I'd like at least.

I don't know if anyone really feels at home here in Amsterdam. Of course it's full of annoying tourists and ex-pats, but the Dutch people that live here are in a lot of cases people who's moved in here from the "countryside" to be closer  to work, but once they get kids they'll move out again, to be replaced by either ex-pats or boers from the countryside.
