It's Easter Vacation and I've spent the past week in Amsterdam visiting Rahel. It is really, really cold here - it's apparently the coldest March the Netherlands have seen in 40 years.
Rahel lives in a shipping crate, or rather, a gigantic metal shipping container. If you were to order 40,000 t-shirts from China, they would probably arrive in a giant metal box identical to Rahel's pad. The difference being that Rahel's has hard wood floors, tasteful fixtures and a kitchen.
This being Amsterdam, the parking lot looks like this.
Last night we ventured out into the snow to meet up with Rahel's friend Silvia. The walk there was brutally cold, but the bar was warm and ultra-euro, with lots of white patent leather.
Amsterdam: good city, bad climate.
