Iceland and the Netherlands are both Western countries and one would thus expect that there were no real culture shocks, maybe a bit of an awakening if an innocent Icelander wanders around the red light district (since we don't have any street hoockers in Iceland... Only ones that are ordered online...) or if the same Icelander accidentally (or not) stumbles into a Coffee Shop, and not finding exeptionally good coffee but some strange smell of... insences...
But I did have my real culture shock. And it did not include any strange substances or poorly dressed women.
I was late. It was already 21:02 and I was in the tram, trying to get home as fast as possible after a long day at
work. And I wasn't the only one in the tram. There were all kinds of people, and quite many of them in fact.
Many!
Even though Eurovision had already started!Astonishing!
A scandal!
Just plain wrong!
