I forgot to mention that Erin and I went to the Heineken Experience. I learned a lot and drank some beer. Also some Asians took their pictures with me. Perhaps I look uncannily like a member of the Heineken family. Or Asian tourists love taking pictures.
Nijmegen is getting crazy! Tons of people are here and more are streaming in. Last night we went into town and the city looked like a giant party. Everyone was out on the streets, drinking, dancing. It kind of reminded me of Iowa City on a weekend night but better. We hung out with two friends of Rogier and they were nice but a little weird too. One is a serious anarchist. Friday night we hung out at Rogiers too and met more of his friends. There was a Czech anarchist that night. Also, Rogier has hung out with Frank Zappa and has pictures of them together. He has led a very interesting life. He was a professional cook at one time too. Now he is an archaeologist.
Switching topics. Silent Disco. Amazing. Nijmegen has one and we saw it last night. Everybody wears headphones and dances like crazy. But if you don't have headphones, you cant hear the music so its silent. Also, people can listen to different music on various channels so you might be dancing to a song and I could be dancing to something completely different. This leads to hilarity. More of these should exist.
Sidenote. As is the case with most things, after a few drinks I am highly skilled at riding my bike. I can speak Dutch too.
I really think I want to live here. Houses are expensive though.
