Attending Dutch Class

It was a stormy day. Fortunately, around 8:40 am, when I headed to the Dutch class, the weather had improved. The class was useful as usual. I believe it is worth spending money on. I finally finished a blog article and published it on social networking services. I received some good responses. In the evening, before going out, I prepared dinner: sauteed spinach with tuna, steamed pork sausage with leeks and purple cabbage, and so on. I visited the bar My Way. I had three kinds of beer and made a reservation for Wednesday dinner. When I received the receipt, I realized that it included the cost of the dinner. I asked, “Have you changed the way of payment for dinner? From now on, do customers have to pay in advance?” He could not understand my English, so Rob’s mother, Karin, explained to me: “One week, we had twelve reservations, but half of them did not show up. We had to throw away a lot of dishes, so now we collect the cost in advance.” After returning home, I continued eating and drinking. I fell asleep around 11 pm.

Heads-up! These aren't journal entries – they're crafted essays written in English.
Thoughtful, personal, and cross-cultural.
