I'm an American from Chicago making a home for myself in Leiden to go back to school. I signed the lease on my new apartment on the eve of my 32nd Birthday. Join me as I tiptoe through the tulips of Leiden! I'll write about my observations and my adjustment to this new lifestyle.

Nosy neighbor
Everyone gets curious about the new neighbor on the block. I know, I know, no one can resist peeking in to see what they are like. This little guy I've caught staring at me late in the morning that last few days. He tends to play it cool when I catch him out of the corner of my eye and make eye contact. He just looks the other way very casually. When I've actually made it outside to take a better picture of him, he runs back inside.
There is a bakery with an orange cat in the window. Every time I pass he's bathing himself. It disturbs me a little that he's in the bakery.
There is a dog on this block. That I can tell you from the constant barking. I'm not sure where she is or what upsets her but she sounds close. She's been a constant reminder of little Lola. From this far she does sound like her. I'm thinking of you, little buddy.
Shopping today I did see a few people walk into clothing shops with smaller dogs on leashes. I wouldn't do that in states no matter how well behaved the four legged companion.
