I’m kidding! About the brie.

Bird Sticker

Originally uploaded by MaggieMason.

A few firsts I experienced in Amsterdam:

Small bird stickers on the huge train station windows keep birds from smacking into them.
Raw sausages
Lights go from red to yellow to green.
Bitterballen, a bar snack that tastes like deep-fried gravy with bits of meat.
Soap dispensers that sprayed soap in a fine mist.
Soft and salty licorice.
Brie with a big hole in the middle of the wheel, making for easy slicing.
Sex with a prostitute. (Okay, three prostitutes.)

  Was that your husband on the evening news tonight talking about emails? Did he get to meet that news hotty Brian Williams?
  Is it weird to think that Brian Williams is hot?
  Was the sex with three prostitutes at one time or three different times? Was the raw sausage involved?

  They do the same thing with the lights in London. It’s like watching a drag race every time the lights change.

  Geez, you think you know someone. And then you find out… they’ll eat just about anything.

  Now I don’t know about you but when my wife first introduced me to Dutch licorice I thought it was some sort of cruel Dutch joke. She asked me what I thought and I explained that there are some things just not meant to go into the human mouth – this was now at the top of the list. Being married to a Dutchie is a non stop adventure.

  yes amsterdam pretty much rules, no? I do not remember the bird stickers, tho I do remember being very stoned and trying not to get hit by the many moving things. And bikes, ah the bikes.
