You're welcome.
My friend bought three tins of those for our InterRail trip last summer, they are delicious. Not a replacement for coffee though.
It's half naked people on boats. That's all.
Here in Finland we call that "summer".

I have a box I mean to try out sometime. Their Morning Thunder Tea isnt bad.

As for working a night shift...the day of the first night shift, wake up early at a normal time, and dont go to sleep till you get off work and get home. Youll end up with 24+ hours without sleep, but this is the best way to reset. Exhaust yourself then go to sleep at the bedtime you want to set. The same thing when switching back to days. Stay up after your normal night shift bedtime all the way till 10 or whatever you want to reset to.

I dont know what you will be doing on night shift, but I do recommend staying busy with something. Coffee is a morning thing for me, so I tend to drink tea during the night. Dont underestimate the caffeine in a few cups of strong black coffee. ; )

That website is the bastion of truth! Although I make more hours a week, sad state of affairs that is. And I hate mashed food.. But I love jokes about Germans!

A Dutch man sees a man on his knees using his hand to drink water from one of Amsterdam’s canal.

He walks up to him and says in Dutch “Hey – you can’t drink that water, it’s dirty and will make you sick”.

The tourist shouts back in German: “Was sagen Sie?“ (What are you saying?)

The Dutch man responds in German: “Sie sollen mit zwei haende trinken, das geht besser!” (Use both hands, it’s much better!”)

Awesome site that. Remarkable how many things that seem so normal here are foreign to others.

And all of it's true, of course.

Hagelslag? We know them as Meisje chocolates, because Dutch girls always bring them to picnic back in colonial era.



Also, I noticed how eerily similar our preference is, except probably Ikea and Licorice, since we don't have them both here.

Hahaha! In the town next to me there's a refugeecenter so there's a lot of Mbuena's and Abdullah's traveling with the bus to the city and I sometimes take the bus to school so it's always fun to be on board with all those people who are just flabbergasted at the way things work here. And then theres the bus drivers who are not that good at English; 'for the stripe no standing place!' It confuses them even more, hilarious.

So, today i slipped on the wet floor after taking a shower and fell on the rack where we keep our towels. I hit the rack with the left side of my torso and i seem to have a handpalm size bruise, also under my arm i have a reasonable size bruise, my ass hurts from falling on it. Nothing that bad but rather annoying to be honest.

My question is, do any of you guys had similar things happen where you make a really stupid fall and hurt yourself?

Ah, shower falls.. Swift and unexpected and they hurt the most. Sometimes happens, luckily I can do a safe by restoring balance on the right moment to avoid falling.

Hopefully they will fix shower falling in the next patch.

Funny you should ask that today. Just this afternoon, I tried to jump up to see over something and rammed my thumb into a chair while swinging my arms. My entire nail is purple and bloody.
