Update: Sunday 21 Jul

Hi! I've been posting a lot this week, but that's because I've been doing a lot this week. 

First of all, happy birthday Aunt Leslie!

Okay. Good. Yesterday, I had to go downtown to try to get my phone account finally switched over to my own name and bank account. And I was successful. Or at least, that's what the guy at the store said. The general overview online has Jenn's mother's name, and her address, but my email address and client number, and when you click to get more details, it has her mother's full address, client number, etc. But it has my bank account. I'm confused. I don't know, maybe it will fully update later. I'm just happy it is switched to my bank account so I don't have to keep paying Jennifer so that she can pay her mother. Because that is confusing. Especially since her mother doesn't live with them anymore.

Another thing I did when I was downtown yesterday was visit the Bijenkorf. Bijenkorf means beehive, and I feel that it is very appropriately named. I had never been to one until yesterday, so I thought it was kind of cool to look at. De Bijenkorf (according to wikipedia) is a "chain of high-end department stores in the Netherlands" and there are 12 of them total. The oldest and largest ones are in Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam. It is basically like a mall, except there is no divider between shops. They are all just one big shop. I think the one in The Hague that I went to yesterday is 5 or 6 storeys. It's right in the city center and I've walked past it a million times but I do know of it as a very expensive place to shop, which is why I never went in.

I took some pictures.

This, I just thought would interest my momma. There is a Nespresso store in the Bijenkorf. It's like any other Nespresso store I've been to. You take a number and wait for it to show up on the screen and then you tell them what kinds of coffee capsules you want and they punch the order into the computer for you and then pull the boxes out of the slots on the wall behind the counter. Most other Nespresso stores I've been to also have coffee tasting and machine demonstrations but I was too distracted by other things to pay it much mind.

Um, that was the floor I spent the most time on because it had the kitchenware and I love that stuff. 

Anyway, after that I went to Albert Heijn to get peas because I had a random craving and decided that I would have peas for dinner, and I just happened to glance at the Coke bottle display they had out. 

I have not purchased any soda-like beverage since December 30, 2012 but I have been looking so hard for my name on a bottle and had given up all hope of finding it. I almost cried.

Anyway, now I have to go. London is calling~
