Apartment

I move into my apartment tomorrow so I went looking for it. It is right next to the central train station which will prove useful for trips to Paris and the like. I also walked to my work which is a mile or so away. The Dutch think a mile is an eternity. If you ask where something is located they might say, “Oh, it is far, maybe like ten minutes walk.” I walked from one end of the city to the other in an hour, not knowing where I was going and strolling very slowly. It would take about three weeks to do the same thing in Jacksonville. I’m going to meet with an American friend of a friend for drinks tonight.
