The first things: favorite foods: real tomatoes, kroepoek, ontbijtkoek, vla, yougart, pate, haring with ui -chopped onions, applestroop, applekanjers, krentenbollen, to name but a few on a surprisingly long list.
The first things: burying the American accent on the Dutch language. Even i hear it now!
The first things: PLANTS AND FLOWERS: purchase a pot of lavender for $1.19 or a bouquet of fresh cut flowers for $2.40. The choice is a green thumb’s paradise.
The first things: daily getting back on the bike to join the throngs going somewhere.
The first things: purchasing a room fan. More than AC a fan makes my life wonderful in summer and winter; the City is sold out due to an unexpected long summer of hot!
