today we went to ikea and i bought my sister a present... but had to borrow 50 euro to pay for it. i forgot that not everywhere in europe takes mastercard/visa etc. total burn. and of course i left my ikea card in canada... why would i need it here?

it takes my sister forever to do anything. i either need to let that be what it is, and never have a fully productive day here, because i will spend 7/8 of my time waiting (which i hate) or start to take matters into my own hands, which may piss her off enough to get her going. it's hard to say though.

the weirdest thing is that she hates anything different, so it's hard to get a commitment or a solid answer. which makes it hard to plan.

otherwise, i'm having fun. most of the people i've met are pretty cool, and i'm planning a lunch (hopefully mexican depending on what annemarie's boyfriend can get from the american p/x) for sunday with gerry, markos, annemarie and maybe keefe.

i'm starting to think a bit in german... at least it's coming back...bye bye dutch, deutsch is moving back in.
