What a strange country

Today I discovered a couple of things that reminded me how different this country is from Sweden sometimes. For example, today I finally got my new sim-card. I was standing outside, on my way to school and unlocking my bike, when I saw a man walk towards my door with an envelope in one hand and a cigarette in the other. I was expecting my sim-card to arrive today so I asked him if it was for me, and of course it was. Then I noticed he wasn't smoking a cigarette, he was smoking a joint (!). So weird, and really something you only see here in Holland.

Later, when me and a friend went to Albert Heijn, we happened to stop by the medicine shelf. We were shocked  when we saw that they sold Paracetamol for 49 cents. In Sweden and Germany (where my friend is from) they cost at least 8-9 euro. We really don't get it.
