Hahahahaha that sounds very familiar to me :D I am living at the coast of the Baltic Sea and the weather and temperature have more moodswings than a teenager in puberty :D One day you can go and swim in the ocean, the next day you need you warmest clothes...like: WTF?! :D
Oh nooooo, I am so sorry to read that you got 3 bikes stolen!! Holy sh... :( That sucks, for sure!!!
But it's so cool you're still able to laugh about it :D
Wow, interesting to hear about people being offended by the direct personality of Dutch people. I didn't experience anything offending, in contrary. When I came back to Germany I was like: "I want to go back to the Netherlands!! People there are SOOO much friendlier, happier and so much more sympathic!"
But I have to add: I prefer honest and direct people to the ones who are only people pleaser and don't tell the truth just to not offend someone :D
Thank you very much for reading and your amazing comment!!
A very big hello and much love to you and your beautiful country! :)
