3/365

Living here in the NL, when we need to see a Dr or have tests run you get the normal paperwork, but of course, here it comes in Dutch. SO, every time I have something to get taken care of I spend however long it takes in front of Google Translate typing everything out. Today was one of those days. I had several things to translate (info about my allergist appointment next week, bills, etc) and it took me a couple of hours. I have noticed though that I'm a lot faster at it now. When we first moved here and I had to translate things I would make countless typos due to not recognizing how the word was written, now I can translate a few paragraphs at a time without stopping to check that everything is right and most times I can gather the gist of it without even translating.

  1. Love this entry Beth. I've lived overseas as well, but in an English speaking country. I never thought about the little things like this. It's truly an adventure!
