Right now I can safely assure going by train is actually viable, got enough funds on my card to make the trip |
My college has bike docking stations and what not so you can rent bikes but they're so heavy and the school is so hilly that I don't use them much anymore.
|
That must be one hell of a train journey too then, probably around the hour+ mark right? Seems like a nightmare to me. But then I've worked long enough and in enough places to learn that I'm not a communter type, might be different for you.
|
It's actually 30 minutes by train suprisingly enough, but the actual location where I would work if I got the job would be far closer so it's aight to me
|
confession: i never learned how to ride a bike,,,,,, im very ashamed to admit this tbh. i did see that they're talking about bringing the "rent-a-bicycle" thing to our downtown area, though!
my city doesn't really have much within walking distance from where i live, and it's much too humid to deal with that anyway. how's everyone's tuesday? |
nothing to be ashamed about imo, I learned how to ride a bike when I was around 14 years old and I HAD to go to school by bike.
my tuesday been going smoothly, with a few suprises |
Oh we talking about walking? I learned to walk everywhere since I never learned how to cycle ^^; Which is weird since I am apparently from one of the bicycle capitals of the world, but I do know how to swim. Also yeah trains are super easy to take here too c: Every small town has a train station ^^
And I recently woke up so just doing breakfast stuf, its weird waking up in the afternoon due to free weeks ^^; |
my country is well known for bicycles... so much that my friends joke about it
ive become bikeboy to them |
ah the good old Dutch and their dams, bicycles, tulips, grachten, flevoland, floods, and weird Flemish neighbours :p
|
Exactly... especially the part about the Flemish B)
|
I had a flemish friend and a Dutch friend, and one of their favourite pastimes was comparing how different the Dutch was that they speak. Like the Flemish have a much more German 'g' while the Dutch just go... chhhh :p
|
Oi my 'g' does not go chhhhhh
i think... it goes more like 'krggg' or something along those lines |
Though I must say the Belgians are weird, like I also been to Wallonia. Weirdest time ever, you can go in a mc donalds order a burger in German and they talk to you in German but once I got my burger they said something in French and I was like "wait wha?". I learned a bit of Dutch btw, I know they said like your 'ij' is pronounced like the 'ei' in Mars'ei'lle so I know roughly how to pronounce stuff ^^;
|
Ive been to Wallonia myself once and I got so confused... one time they speak Dutch... and all the other times they just speak turbo french like "PLS HELP I NO SPEAK BAGUETTE"
The 'ij' thing is pretty accurate yes. |
Yeah and then the Flemish come around with their Dutch dialect, while Dutch is just a hybrid of English and German, the Benelux are weird and yeah Luxembourg you can just speak German :p but people from Luxembourg I know speak German with some weird French undertone.
