Ok, great weather…found a music station on TV featuring a Reggae Christian band, Ganja something…watching MTV Totally Gay after schlepping around the redlight district wondering how much I would have to be paid to stand gyrating in a window???? Men seemed especially skanky today, especially the ones hanging out of the hotel windows with bunkbeds in the background. go figure…Hemp museum was a bit scant, feeling somewhat taudry today. On the whole better dressed people, a bit more trendy, and the calf muscles are amazing on the population who is obsessed with biking–we should be so healthy. However, met by a huge fiberglass statue of Ronald McDonald in the airport, first thing we spied…many more McDonald’s in the past few years, that is the most Americanized portion of Dutch culture I have seen.

Do you remember when we used to sing that as kids, and thought we were saying a dirty word? So, off to The Netherlands, Spain, and Spain again, this is the good part of writing and teaching. Wonder if the Dutch kids consume as much as North Americans? Is Hannah Montana big? Paris? Lindsay? These questions haunt me…

Glad to get off North American soil for awhile. Been a long month. Ironic that someone who teaches media got hacked, and identity stolen from my personal email. Huge ramifications, the reality is once someone poses as you, it is hard to convince them that it wasn’t you, even with police reports. Would like to hear from people who have had cyber identity theft in regard to personal relationships (not bank accounts).

Will write from a cafe.
