At the beginning, I asked the woman in the aisle seat, &#8220;I often go to the restroom, so if you do not mind, could you switch seats?&#8221; but she said she also goes there frequently. However, she never stood up once. I did not see her go to the restroom at all, while I went four or five times during the more than 10-hour flight. She completely underestimated how often I would stand up. By the way, every in-flight meal was nice, such as beef with rice and Xi\u2019an fried noodles. Finally, I arrived in the Netherlands. Including two connecting flights, the total travel time was over 30 hours. This severe experience made me hate China. Their attitude and system were awful. After passing through immigration, I went straight to a bar called Rembrandt, one of my favorites. I had a Brand IPA beer and confirmed once again how delicious Dutch beer is. Compared with it, Japanese beer is just muddy water. Then I moved to the hotel I had booked. Before taking the train, I bought a bottle of white wine but no food, since I had a pack of peanuts. The hotel was not far from the airport. The Netherlands was still in summer time, so it had not yet dawned, and the sky was still bright. When I checked in at the hotel, an Indian man spoke to me. He was in trouble because the hotel did not accept cash, so I paid his bill of 9.9 EUR with my credit card. He gave me a 20 EUR note and asked me for 10 EUR change, but I had no cash. In the end, he gave up on the change. This meant I earned 10 EUR! The hotel staff lady laughed at me, and I said, &#8220;It was a good deal,&#8221; and then we both laughed our heads off. I had not drunk anything except beer for more than two weeks, so the white wine was very tasty. I felt good and in great condition. Once again, I confirmed that I love the Netherlands. Eventually, I finished the entire bottle of wine. I took a shower and fell asleep before midnight. Needless to say, since I was not able to sleep well during the long trip, I slept like a log.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was seated by the window, so it was hard to go to the restroom.
