I arrived in the airport in good time; for once. Being a frequent flyer I am used to be there in last moment but I actually enjoy having good time there. When I saw the queue for Aer Lingus I also felt good about arriving early; half of Ireland was going back to home again! There was only one line …

Back in the Netherlands for the rest of January before flying to Taiwan to learn about my new job and do some apartment hunting. Not much of consequence during this time...except one of the most incredible Super Bowls I have ever seen!  Way to Go, Steelers!!!

Today I was invited to visit Arnhem and do some sightseeing there. I would pickup Keiko and Walter at the station in Rheden so I walked to my car and wanted to go. Then my phone rang. It was Walter. He had a problem with his train ticket and the 2 of them would be there an half hour later. Oké, no…
