Signs I am still part Amsterdammer:
- I ask for mayonnaise to go with my chips
- I look the wrong way when crossing the road
- I say 'gezondheid' when someone near me sneezes
Signs I am starting to settle back in:
- all the tea I am drinking, no more coffee, it's too watery here
- I've caught myself saying 'euros'
- I'm already grumbling about public transport
It's four weeks tomorrow since I moved. Still so many things to see and do and try, still so many things I miss. A friend told me on the phone earlier tonight that she's been back since October and is still struggling to settle - I am hoping it won't take me quite as long.
