First Month Living in Amsterdam

First thing I have to get off my chest... I can't believe I am living here in Amsterdam.  

2 years ago when I first set foot on Amsterdam soil, I would have never dreamed of living here, but now that I am here, it feels quite comfortable here.  No fighting for a seat on the tube, no black boogers coming out of my nose and generally a bit more relaxed then I was in London.  

I always felt a bit more aggressive in London.  It got to the stage where I was pushed a little and I would push them back harder.

I do like living in London, it was a fun. Things were cheaper than average once you know where to buy stuff (sorry to all the tourists that get ripped off), and there is a lot of variety for everything.

But now that I've started to live in Amsterdam, I have to say I am starting to enjoy it more and more (although at first I was scared of the language barrier).  I mean where in the world do they let you grow Cannabis at home.  I am ready to buy some seeds and grow a plant at home.

Fashion is a bit strange, I haven 't really managed to find any nice clothes, but eventually I will.  I might end up buying clothes from the big brands if I get desperate :)

My new job is pretty cool.  People seem pretty nice.  Almost have my own office, although I like this configuration, because its much better then sitting in a room by yourself.  I share a large office with a Romanian guy.   At the moment, the .Net developers decide how the application is to be made, that is the two of us.  :)


I guess life is good for the time being... Oh, and I have lost count of how many haring's I've eaten since I've got here.

1 Year Later

Can't believe it has been one year since I've updated my blog.

I need to do this more often, wish me luck...
