Found this group on Facebook and I thought I put up some points that I really like and that apply to me here 😀 (And I edited some)
So… You know you’ve been in the Netherlands for too long when…
- Walking from your faculty to the cafeteria has become unimaginable. You take your bike, even if it’s for 50meters
- Eating 7 slides of bread for lunch doesn’t scare you anymore
- You think 15°C is warm
- You don’t remember what a mountain looks like
- You still don’t know how to speak Dutch. But your English has improved. You don’t even bother to ask "do you speak English?", you just speak English right away
- You always check the weather before leaving home
- You have 4 seasons in one day
- You know that kapsalon is not a typical Turkish dish, but a hairdresser
- You can ride your bike in the rain, wind and even snow
- You “wash” the dishes with a detergent without rinsing them
- You go to the market and you only buy the stuffs that fit in you bike
- You have mastered the art of riding a bike and drinking coffee/smoking/eating lunch at the same time
- You understand why they don’t serve coffee at a coffeeshop.
