MindComet Explores The Netherlands

A small sales team went to Holland last week to meet with one of our clients. You don't realize the difference between regions of the world until you visit them. For instance:

Some Europeans drive cars smaller than golf carts. Are you kidding me??? Seriously how do people even fit inside of one of these things.


In Belgium they have Escargot carts instead of hot dog carts. Roll up on some snails yo!

Apparently the steam iron hasn't yet made it to Europe. Every hotel we visited had an iron, but no steam and no water sprayer. To the average traveler this may have been ok, but when you are traveling on business you want to look good and ironing without steam is like clanking rocks together to make fire.

Another invention soon to make an appearance in Europe is the queen bed. I haven't slept on a twin since I lived with my parents. I was so happy to move out last year.

We can see why America is known as "The Home of The Chunky Butts". The food and drink portions were ample for human existence we're sure… but in the land of the quadruple quarter pounder and supersizing we were left hungry and parched. Bring me a drink in something bigger than a shot glass!

The Dutch eat french fries like snow cones and cover them with mayo, not ketchup. This totally contradicts the whole small portion thing. What are you having for lunch today? Well I am thinking about having a pound of fries with a couple of tubes of fat spread all over them… and a 1oz water.


Holy bikes batman! We have never seen so many bikes in our entire lives. In Amsterdam there is a 3 story parking garage for nothing but bikes.

Well... all joking aside we had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back. The people over there are extremely friendly and our clients rock. We had wonderful (albeit small) meals and the weather was outstanding. After a few weeks of non-stop travel abroad and the states we are sure happy to be back home in our own giant beds, sleeping on our giant pillows, with our giant butts, eating giant portions of food washed down with our giant drinks on our steam ironed sheets.
