Like! Dislike!

LIKE:  DUTCH DAIRY.   

Seriously: cereal and ice cream has never tasted this delicious. 

DISLIKE:  DUTCH TOILETS.  

They have a "shelf" that forces you to behold your filth before flushing it away from sight.  

(*NOTE: I never poop...but if I did it would shoot out, rapid fire, like deer pellets...and smell like freesias.)

LIKE:  WICKED JAZZ SOUNDS @ THE SUGAR FACTORY 

Every Sunday night, around the corner from Boom, the "Sugar Factory" throws a gigantic dance party with a live 5-piece band plus DJ.  They work together in perfect harmony to make the best dance music.  Everrrrr.

DISLIKE:  DUTCH SERVICE

Approximately 95% of Dutch individuals in the service industry feel anywhere from indifference to utter repugnance towards their patrons.  

I've waited for 35 minutes to see one of three chatty tellers at a nearly-empty bank.  

I've seen a bartender sneeze DIRECTLY INTO a mojito.

Just last week, the checkout clerk at my grocery store accidentally swiped my pasta sauce with the items of the man in front of me.  He informed her of the mistake and, rather than giving him his money back, made ME give HIM exact change for it... growing visibly impatient when my frantic purse-bottom treasure hunt lasted longer than she'd like.

The Dutch customer, it seems, is never right.

Things I miss most about Los Angeles:

1.  Trader Joe's

2.  Costco (oh, bulky goodness)

3.  NETFLIX/Hulu

4.  Salsa/Good Mexican Food
5.  Freakin' good weather

Things I miss LEAST about Los Angeles:

1.  Driving (I can't believe I haven't driven in 5 months)

2.  Working three part time jobs for little pay and no benefits



alright, homies.  it's late.
