Amster.Dam.

Right now I am sitting in the sweetest library ever. It's so fantastically amazing I want to set up camp and live here forver. I mean does it get any better than this: amazing library in Amsterdam. Oh yes, I am in Amsterdam right now. More on my ''winter holiday'' adventures later.

This post is about an interesting exchange I had with a (Dutch) shopkeeper of an Oriental goods store earlier today.

HIM: Where are you from?
ME: America.
HIM: But you look VERY Asian.
ME: ....Well, I was born in Korea, but I've lived in America my whole life.

As funny as this was, I've actually had about three other Europeans look surprised when finding out that, yes, I am Asian, and ,yes, I live in America. I should have said, ""Thanks! I was going for the Asian-look today!""
