A few weeks ago, I went to Kelly’s Expat Shopping in The Hague. I was looking for a few surprises to give Marco for Valentine’s Day. Originally I wanted to go there because the website said that they had sour nerds in stock, but that proved to be wrong unfortunately.
The store was bigger than I expected, and the aisles were definitely wide enough. Since it was my first time there, I took my time looking up and down the aisles to make sure I didn’t miss anything good.
I did end up getting him five things – a bag of sour skittles (to replace the non-existent nerds), Frank’s hot buffalo wing sauce, a small bag of Synder’s Jalapeno pretzel bits, Welch’s grape jelly, and Jack Daniel’s spicy barbecue sauce. The main one was the barbecue sauce, since it is classified as a liquid and thus can’t be ordered from America or the UK. You can bring it over in luggage, though. The grape jelly is good for peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, since it is hard to find jelly in this country. Mainly they just have jam, which is a slightly different taste.
Since there is currently roadwork going on this year, I was not able to take tram 17 like I said planned, but instead had to take tram 3. It just meant a bit further of a walk. But due to that I was able to get this image:

I see that you’re already starting to getting around here in Den Haag! I’d love to meet you by the way, since we both blog from the same city…
The next task on the list is finding a job. 😉
It sounds fun to meet, although not this week perhaps – I seem to have caught a cold. 😛
Do you visit any of the support groups in the area? I was thinking about going to Delft INA’s morning coffee (networking event) this Friday, but not sure.
I’ve been here for almost 1 and a half years and never heard of those supports groups. We could meet whenever you feel better, I can’t this week either because it is going to be very busy at work.
