Reminder
Dear Self,
As you know, there is quite a good multilingual bookstore in Amsterdam's Schipol Airport. It seems a bit cheaper than the pricey English-language bookstore on Kalverstraat and often has books that might be most interesting to read while you're in Holland, such as stuff on Dutch culture. Unfortunately, when going home, you always get to the airport at the last possible minute and never have time to take more than a whirlwind look through this bookstore. What you should do this time is: VISIT THE BOOKSTORE UPON ARRIVAL. You never think to do this because you're always in a big rush to catch the train into the city, but this time you get in at some obscene hour like 7:23 AM and won't be able to check into your hotel or go to any coffeeshops for a few hours anyway. It may be a little cumbersome since you'll have cleared customs, but if they see your cane, maybe they'll let you leave your suitcase by the cash register for a few minutes.
On the other hand, even when you're in a hurry, you buy an average of two books per trip at this store. If you have time to browse, you may end up with eight or ten to lug home. So be careful.
Love,
P.
P.S. This entry will probably be sort of boring for your readers, so why not treat them to some Working with Cats? (Thanks to![[info]](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1380451598i/2033940.gif)
