Not feeling well today. Sometimes comedy helps.
I had a Dutch friend when in my junior year of college in London. He was really just a friendly neighbor in my dormitory hall. But we had tea a few times. He seemed very smart, but when we talked about literature, he said something like America has no good literature. I am still smarting from the comment.
I visited the Netherlands and am proud to say I did not visit a prostitute or smoke any marijuana while there. I think it was Austin Powers who said, “there are two things I can’t stand: people who don’t respect other peoples’ cultures…and the Dutch.” Just kidding. My college friend was nice, and I liked Amsterdam.
