Things have been a little disorganized around here, but I'm catching up. Today I sat down with Google Translate on my phone to sort out some mail. One piece, dated 7 days ago, says we have a package at the post office from abroad and we need to go pay 23,39 euros to pick it up within 7 days. I'd better go to the post office today! "Er is een pakket voor u uit het buitenland."

I also just got back from Kruidvat, the local drug store, where I got a thermal long-sleeved shirt for biking in (can't find my arm warmers) and some other stuff.

I saw a garbage bin with the Groot brand on it and realized that, now that I've been in NL for a bit, that word doesn't look strange at all to me.

There is a package for you from abroad!

Glad I still recognise my Flemish/Dutch. :o)

"I Am Groot" has a different meaning, if applied to Dutch dating websites.
