Now that Arjen mentioned lunch at ebuddy.com office, what’s wrong with the Dutch and those eating habits? Who in his/her total sense eats broodje kaas, broodje this, broodje that and milk or yogurt every single day?

I might even run the risk of being called anti-social but I rather leave the office and eat something outside. Since we have the office right in the center of Amsterdam, the options are infinite. I rather go for a nice warm meal for lunch like is normal in Latin/Southern European countries like Portugal where I was raised.
Usually the Me Gusta tapas restaurant is a good option, people are friendly and some are Portuguese and it’s just in front of the office, but anything else is good. A nice soup, a salad, anything between a pizza and a burger I can eat but not those sandwiches every day!

Another thing I can’t get used to in this country is the weather (sometimes I forget the color of the Sun), the language (and the weird noises people make while they speak it) plus the same old sandwiches it might make you wonder what am I still doing here in Amsterdam, right?
Well, I guess that it’s because all the things that are good about Amsterdam compensate for what I mentioned above and from all those things, ebuddy is one of the the main reason why I’m still stuck here. It would be hard to leave the wonderful (growing) team we have here @ ebuddy.com, a team that I admire so much and am proud of, that helped ebuddy.com achieve a lot and will help to achieve even more in the future!

Go Team!
