Hey! I can post too!

Greetings. This is Matt.

I saw one of Sabrina's earlier posts and realized that she put in a link to a video and didn't use the nifty 'add a link to text' feature and decided I needed to do something about that.

Next, I determined that if I went to that trouble and didn't actually post anything myself, I would be quite lame, so, here are a few things about the past few days that have stuck out to me.

Being extremely tired and jet-lagged and seeing things such as a gigantic three-story hand holding a remote control out in a field really messes with your mind.

Having a coffee machine where you press a button and 10 seconds later you have cappuccino or espresso or some other combination of milk, coffee, chocolate, sugar or whatever is so very great.

I saw with my own eyes a Dutch colleague butter two slices of bread, cover them in chocolate sprinkles (the kind that would go on a donut) and eat it. So that's totally true that they do that here. Also, if you order anything that has fries, they bring you a big ol' side of mayonnaise to dip them in, so that's totally true too.

I realize that pretty much everything that sticks out to me right now relates to traveling to work or eating, but I hope that will change as I get more acclimated to this time zone.

I'm Matt and I've approved this message.

Ha! I wish I had been there to take a picture of the sprinkle-wich. I also kinda want one.... I am Wife and I approve this message.

wow that sprinklewich sounds awesome. Hammy really needs to spend some time on his blog, I think he never got another keyboard after the "e" kept sticking and he crapped all over it. He read somewhere that it would fix it. Instead he ruined it and he's snortin mad.
