Rarities

Weird things I have noticed until now…
· Beer bottles (Heineken) don’t have any indication about the percentage of alcohol the beverage contains.
· In addition the the obsession people have with ‘low fat’ food there is an even more popular obsession regarding ‘low carb’ foods. I hove no idea what this means but it looks like carbs are very much present in milk.
· If you are not driving on the freeway it is perfectly normal for the maximum speed limit to change every few hundred meters.
· In small town all the cables that are normally in the ground still hang in the air sopported by trees and wooden beams, just like in Spain.
· The roads here (including the roads for which you need to pay to get access) are quite often even worse that the roads in Belgium!!!
· It is possible to adopt a part of the highway… but I’m not sure why anyone would actually do that.· Here at Kinko’s it’s impossible to use MSN :-r

  2. What the hell? Slechtere wegen dan in België? Dat kan haast niet man!

  3. Adopteren van de weg houdt in dat je dat stuk weg in the US schoon dient te houden! …Vandaar dat je regelmatig van die borden in de berm ziet door welk bedrijf het stukkie weg is geadopteerd. ;-)
