It's funny how a bit of nice weather can change the whole being of a city. When the sun comes out in Amsterdam, I am reminded why I love living here.
Yesterday as I rode my bike to work, the sun was shinning, the canals were full of happy rowing people, and I was greeted by smiles all round. I had to drive on the sidewalk to avoid a stretch of particularly treacherous traffic, and guess what, no angry comments were fired off from the pedestrians I dodged! This morning I could have even sworn that I saw a smile on the lips of my archenemy (a.k.a. “always-nasty bus driver”).
I have decided the Dutch aren’t such a grumpy bunch; they are just suffering from a lack of Vitamin D for 8 months of the year. (Hey Mo--is there some sort of business niche here? hihi)
