This weekend we visited the dutch store in San Jose. I went to Fremont to buy a new camera (since I need a point and shoot for when we move), and decided to make the extra trek for a taste of NL.
The store, though it held lots of Delft Blue China, Dutch food (even kroketten and herring), and Lots of cheese and candies, was nothing like that of Dutch stores or markets.
I was disappointed, and honestly saddened at the Dutch store that looked so run down. I left feeling very sorry. They couldn't have been doing too horribly, however, since they have another location 3 store fronts down....Strange...
I bought 2 packs of Stroopwaffels for $4.60 each, for a grand total of $11.20. The sales man also wanted 4.60 each for 2 bumper stickers! BAH! Ill get them when I get to the NL for cheaper. =)
I still haven't bought my tickets to NL, but I have picked up some boxes to begin packing. I'm not sure though what I should and shouldn't pack! AH!
I will be packing up various boxes of clothes, frames and Ive decided 2 of the knives my father just brought home, I can not live without being in a kitchen where I will be cooking! They cut MARVELOUSLY!
Nope.
Epic Failure.
