It's ungrateful of me, but a mere three weeks of house hunting in Leiden was enough to inspire this drinking game.
"But wait, Kim, you don't..." I know, I know. Just imagine me taking calming sips of tea.
TAKE A SIP WHEN YOU SEE A PHOTO OF...
A Buddha
A Buddha in the toilet
Anything from the HEMA[1]
...and another sip if you own it
Anything from Blokker[2]
...and another sip if you own it
IKEA furniture
...and another sip if you know its name
House owner destroying stereotype of all Dutch being neat freaks[3]
A locked room mystery[4]
A living museum (R.I.P. gran or grandad)
A Temple to Brown
A Temple to White Walls (actually don't bother, there's not enough alcohol in the world)
Plus,
Leiden Special: any reference to the "beloved", "well-loved", "much loved", etc, Professors' Neighbourhood.
How about that? There is such a thing as too much tea.
[1] Think Farmers
[2] Think The Warehouse
[3] Along with any chance of selling their house
[4] No idea how the photographer got in, but, if the photos and floor plan are any guide, they're not getting out.
