The European response to all things American has proven to be endlessly entertaining. The Valentines day adventure - Holland's response to Disney. The Efterling was Disney meets the Brothers Grimm. A theme park devoted to fairy tales. With a small group of teachers whose enthusiasm rivaled the groups of primary school field-trippers, we rode roller coasters, ate the Dutch version of pancakes (think our pancakes but thicker and smaller), and of course, toured the fairy tale forest. Which, is exactly what it sounds like.
Before I left for the Netherlands, I was encouraged in pre-departure meetings to "open up and let people get to know you" and that I should "really get to know the locals" (no duh). So, in my own abnormal way of bonding with people, I shared that sometimes when I feel uncomfortable, my feet turn in, kind of duck footed. It's mostly when I'm made the center of attention and I don't want to be. Then it turned into a game, "how often can we make Caitlin's feet turn in?"
Hence, my friends a jerks:
