Well, not much new is happening at the moment, I'm onto my second week of housekeeping and I seem to be "trained" already, which means I can now clean on my own sometimes. Dutch is much harder to pick up than I originally thought it would be, although its only been two weeks so I might be expecting too much.
Biking here is so nice, the ride to Elspeet is about 5-10 minutes long, and its through the forest and by cornfields. Biking in the town itself is kind of scary because the intersections dont have stop signs so I never know if its my turn or not. The bike I have is endearingly rickety; you have to pedal backwards to stop, its too tall for me and its rusted, but it works!
