One of them was Amsterdam and we learned quite some interesting tidbits :) Thanks for sharing with Small Victories Sunday linky, I hope you keep sharing your culture shock pieces with us! :) Tanya @ Moms Small Victorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520133909287154535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702554842645783934.post-16994403140464774192014-05-14T00:27:24.804-07:002014-05-14T00:27:24.804-07:00Betsy I just got done looking up Mackinac Island w...Betsy I just got done looking up Mackinac Island what a neat place!

Bikes are indeed everywhere, if you ever have the chance to visit Groningen (a city in the Northern part of the Netherlands), you will be amazed at the amount of bicycles in a relatively tiny city. I'm looking forward to reading more of your Dutch adventures, and I wish you all the best in this (currently very véry rainy) country.

I felt the same way when I moved to Australia many years ago. Life was different and it took a few weeks to learn what a capsicum and prawn were :) But it is all part of the path we carve and it is so wonderful!
