address update.
i picked up a birthday package from ms. redheadedcalin yesterday. the post office here is as fun as it is at home... the guy was a bit grumpy.
granted, i did show up with the 'first notice' of attempted delivery, and i figured since it was late in the date that the package would be back at the office, which it was. so once he retrieved it from the back room he started to fill out the forms to give it to me, flopping it around to look for all the information he needed.
and then when it came time for me to show ID for him to give it to me... i realized i had forgotten my passport. at which point he got all huffy and said that only a dutch driver's license or a passport would work. and promptly picked up the package and went in to the back room.
luckily i was able to go back to my place, pick up the passport, and return for the package.
and then the second guy was also grumpy. because i didn't know my 'code'. which is two more letters after the postcode. which i had actually never seen before.
so, i guess, use this:
me
geldropseweg 3
5611 SB eindhoven
netherlands
hopefully that will speed up the process. :)
