Cheesy Intro

a.k.a. my journey into online ramblings and my first-ever blog post.

This space will chart a narrative about a girl who falls in love with more than cheese--i.e. a bonafide herring licker or, in somewhat nicer terms, a Dutchie--and moves to Holland to pursue the relationship. Hailing from New York City (previously dubbed Nieuwe Amsterdam and a place where love cynics abound), our heroine ventures to Old Amsterdam, where many historical ties still bind. In her new-found home, she weathers not only culture shock but love shock--because after years of urban singledom, her sense of romance was all but D.O.A. This blog covers weather obsessions, dairy products, guttural utterences, and lust along the canals. It also offers a tale of two cities/two perspectives and--c'mon we're talking AmsterDAMN here!--covers a bit of sex. Like walking through the saucy Red Light district, peopled by graying, retired couples and lumpy Baltic whores.
