    A post before heading to Las Vegas

    So here's a quick post before I head off to Las Vegas tomorrow. I'll be attending Mix -- If you're going and see me, or want to meet up, let me know (leave a comment or send me an e-mail). Anyway, before I go to the land of the free (ahem), I thought I'd post some random observations I made over the past few months that I've been here in Canada.
     
    • The weather is less chilly than back in the Netherlands. Especially the wind is warmer. I now enjoy walking outside even when its "cold", because it just doesn't feel cold.
    • My beard, or rather facial hair, is starting to grow faster. I think it's probably all the hormones pumped into the food around here. I should investigate. Maybe I should try to eat less meat to see if that's the cause.
    • Being up here, working remotely as it were, is somehow helping overcoming my fear/anxiety for phones. I also wished I had discovered these awesome natural nervousness relieving pills (all natural, homeopathic, contains only some plant extracts -- I'm not munching the chemical crap). They really help out... and no, I don't take them every day. Only in unfamiliar and stressful situations.
    • They need better cheese over here. So far I've only seen swiss, cheddar, and more.. cheddar. Being Dutch, I guess I've been spoiled, but really -- I don't like cheddar that much.
    • I don't want to sound like a cliché, but I do miss Hema.
    • So far sticking to the food/drink brands we also have in the Netherlands and Europe has proven to be a good idea.
    • As you can see, I still refer to the Netherlands and Europe as "we". It'll probably go away... eventually.
    • I haven't touched a drop of cola for two weeks now (and there's a tempting bottle in the fridge!). Go me. I also haven't had chips/crisps in a week. Go me times two.
    • I really like digital photo frames -- Now I can randomly show photos of friends and family back in the Netherlands :-)
