The flight to...

The flight to Amsterdam was pretty nice, not much turbulence cos the damn plane was so full. Michelle finds it hard to sleep cos it's so crammed and shez not even 5 feet.. can you imagine all these big Dutch people trying to get comfortable? I felt sorry for this big Dutch man seated across the aisle from me. The lady in front of him had her seat reclined all the way back that he didn't have any place to put his legs comfortably, had to like squash them right down to stretch them out more. I felt so bad for him :(Had a horrible headache at the start of the flight and wanted to take my medication and sleep but they were sooooo slow in serving the food.. *sighs* And after eating, I didn't have water anymore, so I tried pressing the call button to get someone to bring me a cup of it, but nobody came.. finally I got really pissed and went to get it for myself. The guy who gave me the water said that wasn't his area that I was sitting at, so he didn't come and serve me. I am like, duh, what kinda bloody service is this!?!? No wonder MH isn't as good as SQ. But the stewardess who was supposed to serve me came back to me and apologized for not coming because the light didn't go on above my head so she couldn't tell who it was that called. She was pretty nice about it (and I was partly sedated from the medication) so I just let it go. (yes I was mentally writing a letter of complaint all this while)Holland is cold. And annoying :/ at least the damn railway is... first thing I hear when we arrived was that the Dutch railway is on strike. At least David was there to pick us up, so that wasn't too bad. And maybe it was because of the strike, but the traffic sucks too. The place looks lovely though, even if somewhat grey and cold. The hotel we stayed at, Bastion Hotel in Leiden, was pretty nice. It was definitely warm and cosy, and the staff were helpful and friendly. One nice thing in Holland is that they have chocolates and other yummy stuff at the reception instead of just cheap sweets like in Singapore.Poor Jeroen waited for us 2 hours in the cold because we took longer than we should to get to the hotel from the airport (damn traffic) and to den Haag. He wasn't very pleased to wait that long but he didnt bitch about it or anything. Then we made the two guys walk all around Leiden central with us because we couldn't decide where to eat. Their traffic is confusing!! Michelle and I were kinda lost as to when would be a good time to cross the road and the guys just crossed over without thinking about it, leaving the two of us still on this side. We were like.. eep!! and Jeroen crossed back and helped us. That was pretty embarrassing, but I swear, they have like bus lanes and bicycle lanes and all that stuff, it looks rather scary at first.We had some turkish sorta food... seems there's nothing much to eat there 'cept hard bread, disgusting processed meat and cold stuff (thatz michelle's opinion mostly) and the fast food are horribly expensive.. like $2+ for a cheeseburger at McDonald's?!!? They even charge you for sauces!! (will be more appreciative of the fast food in Singapore)Visited Jeroen's place.. definitely male. You know what I mean. PC freak too, it seems.. alot of cds and movies in neat stacks though.David's brother wasn't too happy that he kept the car out so late so we had to go, and he could return it. It was like 7+pm when we got back to the hotel room but we fell asleep pretty fast that night.
