This week has been a return to many of our normal routines. My friend, who had been sick for awhile, is finally better so we started up our weekly squash game again. I went to buy a pass for 12 half hour sessions which costs 100 Euros (ridiculous) but the lady only charged me 40. We figured it was maybe a New Year's special or something, so one of the other guys bought one two. Same deal.
When the third went up to get his all of the sudden the price was 100 Euros and the lady said she needed to talk to us about our passes. We asked for a refund as she charged us for swimming passes, not squash. She said this wasn't possible, so we ended up spending 300 Euros on squash. What a scam - a little reminder that we do live in Holland.
School went alright this week although my classroom is taken up for testing again, so I have to wander around the school for a couple weeks. I finished my application to get bumped up to a higher salary scale, and we had a school-group get together at the Zoo. There were a couple different tours that ended in an amazing but exclusive room where one wall was the giant shark aquarium. Nice to discover a new place.
