I'm hanging out in the dining car in my best effort to socialize, but everyone here is speaking German. I mean, I'm sure they speak English also but I don't want to get in their way. Hopefully someone will decide that I look interesting and come talk to me. If this doesn't happen I will just keep saying "Du ist ein kindergarten, ja?" and other conversational phrases.
At least I've still got an iphone to keep me company. Nobody stole it from me in Amsterdam.
To be honest, it's hard to be excited about the next couple weeks because of how much effort it will take to see everything in such a short time. As you know, I am debilitatingly lazy. The good news is that you'll have a lot more boring pictures of buildings to look at.
Oh, that reminds me! I tried to get a picture of a Dutch person riding a bike with no hands down a busy street while texting, but it was too dark to really see what was going on. It's very common, though, so you'll be able to see it for yourself if you come to Holland.
I am writing a short essay on the Dutch that I'll post sometime soon. To generalize, they are a silly people, and not only because of their hilarious wooden shoes.
I'm going to crosspost this to my blog, because, why not? Also I don't feel like retyping everything.
Ok, time to see what kind of sleep I can pilfer out of this trip.
Write back soon!

Alex, sounds like you need a good nights sleep. I am afraid you are going to start going crazy and yelling things out at people. You don't want to turn into an ugly American.
