好預兆good sign~

After three days I will leave De Snor and of course Rotterdam as well.

At first I thought I should have a one day trip for myself as a "FAREWELL ROTTERDAM DAY".

But........giveing it a second thought, maybe it is also nice to leave it quitly as if I will come back again.

As if I am not saying goodbye to the city.

Ciao! Ciao! Rotterdam

Anyway,

my point is:

I always have trouble pronouncing the address of De Snor

"Kralingkse Kerklaan"

"ah????"

The taxi drivers always give me the strange look as if I am saying some chinese works.

To my great frustration, I am pretty confident of my language capabilty, especailly I can speak some German, which is of about 60% similarity of Dutch.

But I just never successfully make anyone understand what I am saying at the first try.

Today I am sured that I will have a nice aparment in Eindhoven, better location, better furnished and of course higher price.

The best part is when I try to say the address of my new home.

I did it!

The dutch people understand that!

"Sint Jorislaan"

"oh! ja!"

I think that is a good sign for me to stay happily in Eindhoven.

I hope it is.
