OK - now I've changed some of the template settings - altering colors to my own personal taste (yes, I love green) - which made me aware of my rusty HTML knowledge, and will move on to tell a little about my whereabouts in this country.
I now live in Leeuwarden with my boyfriend, Richard. I met him online in the summer of '01, and after a lot of chats and phoning, we just had to meet, and now we plan on buying a dishwasher. Time flies, and I'm amazed that I got to this point in my life :-) Living in Leeuwarden is nice and the town is beautiful. But my biggest challenge is the dutch language. A lot do speak english, but are either too stubborn or too insecure to show me. Yesterday I decided to get a bank account, so I called one the largest banks in The Netherlands. After getting through the phone menu (in dutch), I finally got to talk to a living person, which in dutch answered my request with a "talk to your local department". Luckily I do understand a little dutch, but I got really furious about being treated like that - so Postbank...please be a little nicer to english speaking persons. I just want a bankaccount!!! *** - | posted by Tommy on 1:26 PM ---ooo--- |
