  • With me living in the Benelux, it amazes how little I hear and know about Luxembourg. I feel like as someone living in the Netherlands I feel like I still don't know enough about the country, even though I was there for a couple of days last summer

  • "Enemies of the people"

    NIce

  • I hate electoral politics but the statistics nerd in me loves to see election results

  • I really want to visit, never been there. Feel like if I go it will grow on me like Utrecht grew on me.

  • Wikipedia says she was born in Nijmegen.

    Another reason Nijmegen is the most based city in the Netherlands

  • My sleep schedule sucks, woke up at a quarter to one. I've been staying up late to finish work for school. Hopefully my sleep schedule can go back to normal when that's done

  • I think I want to switch from learning Portuguese to learning Spanish. I noticed I come across more Spanish and I enjoy speaking in it a lot more than in Portuguese

  • Is it mostly about expats, or about richer Mexicans as well?

  • I looked it up. According to him, Che is because there was a character in "Goede tijden, slechte tijden" with that name and El is because of Elvis Presley.

  • Spanish should be the Lingua Franca of the Americas, seeing as it's the most spoken language there. An Argentinian or Ecuadorian should be able to go to Milwaukee or Saskatoon and talk to the people there in Spanish. I hate English language imperialism.

  • Yeah Utrecht is expensive sadly. If I could find a place which isn't ridiculously expensive, I would probably have to move quite far away.

    And yeah I'm a student, so student housing is an option but it would be nice to have something for after school

  • I'm really toying with the idea of moving to Utrecht. I fell in love with the city, and would like to live there. Although I'm not in close contact with people who live there and the official housing site only lets me seek housing in my own area. Gotta love the housing crisis. I don't mind staying in Amsterdam but want to leave Utrecht open as an option.

  • You have better dreams than me. Last night I dreamt that Mike from Breaking Bad was showing me porn on his phone.

  • I was at the anti-NATO demonstration in the Hague today. We were with 5000 people and we made a stand, although I wished we were with more. It was pretty international, with the Belgian PvdA and the Turkish TKP participating as well. There was a lot of police for such a small demonstration and they were clearly trying to intimidate us. During the march there were three arrest buses following us which were later joined by police on horseback. On every side street there were always a dozen police officers and a couple of police vans.

    Edit: I forget there was also a police van with cameras on top filming everyone the whole time

    There were also some pro-ayatollah Iranians present, like not just critical support but full support for the government. The women were all wearing chadors. I heard rumors they were embassy staff, or paid by the embassy, which I don't necessarily believe. There were times where anti-regime Iranians in the march were clashing with the pro-regime Iranians.

  • مرگ بر آمریکا، مرگ بر اسرائیل.

    Long live the resistance. Didn't expect the US to escalate so quickly. Thought there would be at least a couple weeks to try to manufacture consent.

    Stumbled across a Ukrainian social club in a shopping centre. They're not even trying to hide their fascism.

    What do you think is the most likely country to have a revolution next?
