Word of the day: Ziek (Sick)
MAASTRICHT... Today we planned to do more walking in Maastricht, but it wasn't meant to be. My mom was not feeling so well :( so we just hung out at the house.
Later that evening it turned into another funny Mike moment :)
This time he comes out of the downstairs powder room and says, "Wow, it takes that water a while to get warm!" Steve is also sitting with us on the couches this time around so he, my mom and I all look at each other and then I say, "You got the water to get warm?!?" my dad responds, "No. It never got warm."
Again we all start laughing.... The sink in there only has one faucet and it is a semi- known thing that Dutch powder rooms only have one water temperature... COLD! Ha Ha!! LOL!
And then my dad continues on and says, "No wonder! It definitely made for an interesting shave this morning!" ... Guess my mom or I were getting ready in the one upstairs that has both temperatures.

This site will also give your more insight as to other experiences Steve and I have gone through over the past year! I guess there are sites like this for a lot of cultures. There is also a book out there called, The UnDutchables. Definitely gives you a few laughs!
I think we worried how long Mike was running the water to get it warm ...eeks!
