Well. Ja knoj, life just ijn't as injeresting here in ja states.

That was my take on Amsterdamish for you guys :-)

Can you upload pictures on the blog? I see you've done it on facebook (somewhat)...but it'd be cool on here to go with stories.

May, how many hair straightners have you purchased thus far?

Also, how are those giant backpacks holding up? Haven't heard any issues about clothing and such so I'm assuming everything is going fine in that realm.

Also, while you've been gone Wisconsin has flooded and the interstate had to close in the Dells.

Jhat is jall forj now. I leaje forj Tejas on June jirthietj. :-)

I looked up how to write, "I am writing in Dutch right now" in Dutch. I came up with the following:

"Ik schrijf op dit ogenblik in het Nederlands."

I re-looked up what that meant, and it literally translates to:

"I write on this moment in Dutch."

HAAAA!!! At least it's a more creative language than Japanese.

I also looked up some more phrases you guys might find useful:

*DESIRED PHRASE*
Where is the nearest bathroom?
*TRANSLATED*
Waar is de meest dichtbijgelegen badkamers?
*ACTUAL MEANING*
Where dichtbijgelegen are the most bathrooms?
----------------------------
*DESIRED PHRASE*
You are attractive. Can I kiss you?
*TRANSLATED*
U bent aantrekkelijk. Kan ik u kussen?
*ACTUAL MEANING*
YOU are attractive. Can I kiss you?
(the YOU was actually capitalized, I shit you not)
--------------------------
*DESIRED PHRASE*
Where is the best hash bar?
*TRANSLATED*
Waar is de beste knoeiboel staaf?
*ACTUAL MEANING*
Where is the best knoeiboel bar?
--------------------------
*DESIRED PHRASE*
I'M AN AMURRICAN!! (to be said in southern accent)
*TRANSLATED*
Ik ben een Amurrican!!
*ACTUAL MEANING*
I am Amurrican!!


Hopefully you will find these phrases useful in your travels!!

Picture Request: A multitude of pictures of you guys in aforementioned knoeiboel staaf.
