Getting to work

Well, the night before my first day, Rita, the AIESEC ABN coordinator phoned me about teh directions to get to work. Haha she told me to get off metro station Bijlmer and was telling me to pronounce it with a French sort of an accent (Beeeeejeeelraeare). The next morning whe I was at the bus station, the guy helping me had NO IDEA what I was talking about. I asked the bus driver and he too was at first giving me looks, then taking pity on the tourist he says "you mean 'Bale-mer?' I looked up and go "probably."

note to self, in the dutch language (ntherlandish): 'j's are usually silent. haha

Rita said I won't miss it because it is right beside the football stadium. Boy was she right, and the twoer was easily visible.

Oh yes football - that's something I gotta see before I leave...
