What makes the Netherlands special...

Den  Haag City by Trony Ingati
The Netherlands is a small country with lots of meandering ways to do things. One rule of thumb is keep it simple any day and any hour and you will thrive. This country has zero tolerance  for fakes and for ignorant people. Why, because everything is laid out. There are no back doors, no cheats(a few) and the entire system just works  and goes to sleep. In other words everything operates via a schedule. People wake up go about their duties and  call it a day. My suggestion is to come in to this country with an open mind and relax. Let the system work itself above all find something to do because a typical Dutch person's diary is 366 days planned. So try to make your own plans because no one has time to babysit you in this country. You will have to make yourself useful once your past the age of two. If you doubt it carry out a census. I have more one paragraph musings for you...please pop by from time to time. This is my forum to express my ever growing Dutch palate and trust me it is tasteful.

Any Topic Goes...

Yesterday I get into the tram and sat towards the front next to the driver. Its  always  my favorite place to sit. It allows  you some peace and an ounce of quiet. In  that very isle were a cute bunch of children from an international school in the Hague. Which one, I don't know. They  described  themselves in all manners. One was a parent, the other in a relationship, another a know it all. It was such a sight. These young fellows were in between ages ten and thirteen but the topic of discussion was 'relationship goals'. So openly, in the midst or rather elderly Dutch folk they described what they thought of sex, whether they had lost their virginity and how they share their boyfriends clothes and how to dispose them once the relationship ended. Alas! all in a tram. For a second I wondered to myself who are the parents of  these adults trapped in children's bodies or perhaps I was the child. Before long a real teacher came along she smiled...

Organized People...

Staying in the Netherlands will get you on to some fine habits. Lesson number one is being organized. Everything  and everyone walks in a straight line. The birds, trams, trains, people, bicycles, municipal council, shops, houses, you get it, the list goes on. So when you come here please mind your own business and walk in a straight line. Don't  forget to get your daily does of an essential paragraph that will save your day. Yours truly, Paragraph Lady- Trony

WhatsApp Pages - The Girl That Left!

Perfect beginning... Where do I start? About a two months ago I joined a happy WhatsApp group. I shall not mention the name. However, its characteristics were your typical girly, warm, fun filled happy women giving tonnes of advice about every day topics and things up and about the city. Left... Today, a frequent happy member of theirs displayed a workshop class that she hoped to get clients for within The Hague, The Netherlands. This was not to their 'liking' or should I say, the admins list of 'prefered' items. Poor lady got told off. The admin of the group politely (not told as politely...) told her that, "This is a chat group. We do not encourage marketing oneself. Supposing all of us were to do the same, there will be no room for chating?" Picture : Long road away | copyright - Trony Ingati The groups... As much as I am still part of these women in this diverse chat groups of WhatsApp origins, I could not help but to wonder just how sometimes ...
