Do I miss Holland ?

It’s been almost 2 years since we left Holland. I must admit I do miss a few things from Holland. It has been my home for more than four years and I did grow a lot while living there.

I also have wonderful Filipino friends and people of other nationalities as well – friends that are always there for me whenever I need them – gossip, simple chat and of courses lunch companions.

I miss going to the Thursday Market to buy some herring and fresh pick fruits.

I miss working in my garden especially when the temperature is just right – not to warm and not too cold. I did spent alot of my time in my garden – I planted all kinds of things like the famous Holland tulips, dhalias and I also had a couple of fruit trees like Apple trees and Persimmon trees . They are probably dead by now ;( because nobody is taking care of them since our house there has not been sold yet.

I miss visiting places like historic places like Rotterdam, Delft and Amsterdam *sigh* and so as other neighboring European countries like Belgium and Germany.

But I what I don’t miss there is the gray weather. I heard it’s about 3 degrees there during the day. Brrrr! Oh and not to forget the high taxes one has to pay.
