I visited a dental clinic near Alkmaar. An unfamiliar female doctor treated me this time. She could not speak English, and I was astonished that a doctor could not speak English in the Netherlands, where people are generally highly educated. I took buses to Bergen and arrived there in about an hour. The scenery reminded me of my memories from a few years ago when I came here with Jan, Janine, and Eri. The hotel was not so bad. After checking in, I took a shower right away (I had not showered for three days in a row, so it felt refreshing!). I found a nice bar called Taverne and went in. The female bartender was fantastically friendly, which made me feel deeply satisfied. I talked with a male bartender in Dutch. He had lived in Amsterdam for over ten years. When I told him that I am Japanese, he said, \u201cFunny!\u201d (grappig). On the way back, I stopped by a supermarket and got some food. I had a croissant and a discounted packed salad, to which I added avocado and imitation crab that I had brought from home. It was a super economical dinner. I drank a whole bottle of white wine and fell asleep around 9 or 10 pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
