| 52 ° 8 'N, 5 ° 34' E 4 November 2010, 22:29 What are the days now, back in the Netherlands? Easy answer: look around you and you know it. Over a month after our return in the cold we are already totally used. Our days are gray and inclement weather. No tropical sweat, no mosquitoes and no mania butterfly fish. It is again shivering, cover and weather stripping. Oh, and of course still looking for suitable work. To me it looks good, in terms of work. The prospects are good and the chance that I'm something like a beautiful place are excellent. We decided that for us the region Arnhem / Nijmegen probably the best combination of capabilities. There is nice to live there, there is work and it's nice and quiet. Judica is also busy with work. Yesterday they were invited and I think they feel good about. Oh, I just heard them on second call is asked! Super! Funny what has Judica said the last time when she read what I wrote. She noted that since we are back again in the Netherlands much more Judica Michael and talk and not always about us and us. Here back in our 'Heimat' cause we're back over our own little lives. If I do not work and then I apply if I do not do that then ... well, god knows what I do, I have no idea. Judica is the last week has been busy with a project for which she reached her old trainee had asked her help. Very nice course. Tonight I also baked waffles for the first time. Our waffle iron has miraculously after the move yet again found its way into our kitchen sink (which is especially when you consider that for example the toaster and the glassware is not as merciful come from). In recent weeks, he has primarily served as a sandwich maker. Delicious for breakfast, a sandwich waffle. Very strange how cheese sandwich will look like after 2 minutes in a Liege barbecue. But in short: the waffles were mighty tasty. Especially powerful.

And every day we live in this house longer fade our memories of the journey. Today I came against a basket of trinkets. While I cleaned up the empty basket, I got stuff from all kinds of travel. Two flags that my bag had fallen, an Asian train ticket, a purse with Indonesian Rupiah, my red box with pins. Tangible evidence of a dream. Judica now seems better again. What exactly they did, is not clear. She is Havenziekenhuis turned inside out, but there was but little difference. A remarkable result was there: the labuitslag indicated that she has had glandular fever, although it was not clear how long ago it could be. Anyway, we are happy that nothing serious is found. It is still a tad suspicious that those crazy swelling just simply come and gone, but we try in March too much into that. Our house is now largely in order. Slowly but surely we fill with visits to local Aldi and AH our pantry again. Very strange, but the first week we had no salt in the house and we have barely missed. Yesterday the house smelled of freshly baked muffins and now the curtains are washed, the smell of broccoli soup is completely out of the house. All new and tergelijkertijd very familiar scents. To Asia with us to keep a bit, I try every now and then small Thai food cooking. Judica and I have now hard again looking for work. For me it's easier than Judica. In IT is much work and I have now than even a few things to interviews behind. That is both instructive, but also very challenging and certainly very tiring. I'm not worried whether I will get a job, but it is important to be very critical to choose a job which I mean the coming years is right. Hopefully I can next week to resolve. In the meantime I have a freelance job that I invest in some fresh bread can provide. We want to save pennies not too fast preparation course. Today was a day completely free. We are up early, jumped in the car (he does have enjoyed better now the spark plug wires have been changed) and while walking the churchgoers watched the Hoge Veluwe raised. Since we now live near so great! The walk was refreshing. It was nice weather, a blue sky with white tufts. The scent of fresh pine forward. Way we saw a few bright red mushrooms against. Real back in the Netherlands. michiel Dewit | Tags: Barnsley , Pine Fresh , Apply , Veluwe
Posted in Back in the Netherlands | No Comments » 6 October 2010, 20:09 After a wonderful night on our new mattress in our new house and after a self-cooked meal tortolinni I can say we are home. We have moved, yesterday we went with 4 men and two movers lot to toil the whole Mikmak been and is now in Barneveld. We had sheets hung in our apartment because the elevator as long as we occupy the new neighbors are all happy with us directly. Little effort but I've noticed that if you bring people informed by a note of something bad they never complain. Thanks so fine. Last night we barely have the energy to do anything, today we have therefore put together the most cabinets and boxes unloaded. PLAYS is a lot easier, you just in a flash, but clean out you have to think a place where something gets. In particular, the clothing is problematic and thus we have a covered file frame bought our stuff to hang. For the move we were a computer and lost shoes, we've found all happy. Now we are in spite of everything good coding a bit lost and that is much more frustrating. Know it's there somewhere, but the boxes can not see the forest. The storage is completely full of boxes and structuring required. Our house way too. Michael is called every hour by some recruiter who wants to help him to work and should quietly explain that he just looking for something different ... Quarter past eight, time for a nice glass of Baileys and a piece of cake, after all it is fun! We are home. A good time to stop placing messages to be honest ... but secretly I find it a lot every few days typing. Do not feel burdened to stop reading, but when I think I'll just type some stories by. To put this on the internet can I use the Internet illegally from one of our neighbors. shhht so. Tomorrow another day unpacking and I hope that I'll also clean future. The coming days I'll be busy with the laundry and other crap, but it is wonderful to be back. We look forward to the day that we actually own the Internet, television and telephony have. Until that time we lekkker coco balconies at our new cave, our new home. michiel Dewit | Tags: home
Posted in Back in the Netherlands | No Comments » 52 ° 13 'N, 6 ° 53' E 2 October 2010, 8:50 Saturday morning, there is a cup of tea for me put down, classical music sounds somewhere and it smells wonderfully of all coffee. Breakfast and it feels like Sunday. One week we are back now and so much has been changed. I feel a lot better, the humps are only half as large. We bought a car, job applications and off since yesterday residents of an apartment in Barneveld. Now we move ... we have a small number of reputable moving companies and we probably move up Wednesday Tuesday. Though there where we could see no company that had space. "No ma'am, Tuesday can not, but tomorrow it could be .. arranges that? ". Unfortunately that was our little too short. Tuesday can help my father ... but for the Wednesday we have nobody. Actually, we want the stuff in the store not even seen just about everything ... we have something more about it before we find the movers too expensive. Tuesday or Wednesday if you now have nothing to do ... we have enough hands on weekdays but it is so we expect nothing. We also asked everyone so often that it is actually a little embarrassing. Dessalniettemin ... if you want to help, we provide coffee and cake and a good mood. It is also an excellent opportunity for us to hear and see again because you have already noticed that we absurdly crowded. About a week I dream in my head. Are we in a private apartment with a lot of stuff. We look forward to it. juutsel | Tags: Barnsley , move
Posted in Back in the Netherlands | 2 Comments » 51 ° 55 'N, 4 ° 28' E 30 September 2010, 22:31 Today the big day, on to the internist ... Early this morning an appointment and the co assistant took my travel history with me. She was energetic and friendly and gave me / us feel good. It was decided first blood test to then in the afternoon to come back to discuss the results. Telephone number left and asked if we could be called if the results were there we would immediately come back. In the meantime we have been slipping for a moment Dordrecht needed haircut at our favorite hairdresser. Looking for a shirt for Michael but the phone rang again. OR we could come back to the hospital. Once there was in the waiting room a woman who was all set. The poor man was mad with the constant itching and said things like "I love eht no longer 'me crazy is the jeuk'terwijl almost literally pulled the hair from the head. Logically they obviously went for a bit. The man who accompanied her desperately looked around, but if you do not sit in the same body you really powerless. Unfortunately it took to wait a little longer but the internist came to see us. She indicated that the blood values the idea gave me da herstelllende was an infection but that they wanted to know what it was. In addition, she told me that I swallow the Antibiotice totally ineffective if they are taken orally and that I should stop it immediately. The next step was an ultrasound of the lymph nodes. Fine, someone you seriously even though you're on the mend. In two weeks we have another appointment and the results of the echoes was viewed at that time there nothing to urge ends are identified. The echo was making weird. I know such devices and not the images I know its all in combination with pregnancy. I already asked if she would say that I was pregnant but since they echo my neck went and looked her unlikely. Anyway, the doctor told me that she felt that much glands were visible and that the lymph node (although it is now only a quarter of the size) still much too large. Furthermore, no abscesses on my thyroid and other weird things. In two weeks so come back if in the meantime, nothing has changed. Otherwise, make an appointment. They still do not know actually what I have, however, that malaria is excluded but that I had to say. The MRSA test is returned and it was negative, good news. Luckily I'm on the mend but I am quite shocked and hope it will not come back. Slowly I get a little more energy but actually it is most too much ... but it's so nice so I do it secretly  . In between is also good news. The past few days Michael and I have been looking non stop a car (check!) and accommodation. We are starting tomorrow, the proud (but poor) tenants of a small apartment in Barneveld. No parties provisionally because that just does not fit. Michael even has some of the rent it out to steal and we do not pay brokerage costs to a rental agent because it is not there. Sometime early next week we will move our stuff to enable men of Den Bommel to convey to Barneveld. Then again we have our own place where we can throw the front door and a private home. Delicious! The last place that was was on a tropical island but I am sure that this apartment has advantages compared to that on Koh Tao. juutsel | Tags: Barnsley , doctor , move , ill , hospital
Posted in Back in the Netherlands | No Comments » 52 ° 8 'N, 5 ° 26' E 28 September 2010, 21:25 If the surprise is over we are back in the Netherlands is the question we hear most. Well, okay, I'm not dead though. It's not that bad ... And then should I save for my head, I feel so bad or not but if it would fall we would not be back. Well ... the good news today is (drumroll) ... we picked up the car. Yesterday we bought the car after a test drive of 200 meters. We actually decided not to do it because he was so attracted to the right. They said it can solve, and dumb enough ourselves no more driving around. We could pick him up and he went not to the right, that's right. Furthermore, it drives really well ... you only hear if you drive slowly tapping the steering a little and if you drive fast turn you hear something else, but otherwise he was perfect. Because we have no car, I have acquaintances but immediately another roadside closed. Seems very handy when you get somewhere stationary. For the 1000 euro we can not complain about the car, he looks good and runs really not bad. The further news ... I almost dare not say but I am almost fever all day Fri Will you just see, I get better before I go to the doctor. Unfortunately, my glands are swollen and that it is worse. Michael this morning also stopped by their GP for what inflammation and antibiotics and now huiddesinfestie richer. Bunch of sick, we are. The rest of the afternoon we spent to get square eyes of the search for apartments in Apeldoorn, Arnhem, Deventer, Zutphen and surrounding areas. We are still not out of what wisdom is, first a month and a recreation so that we can find a job directly in a living room where we can write longer able to continue but with high intermediation costs? What if we can not find work? It is all very frustrating. Tomorrow but on the way to Apeldoorn to go along with a few of those rental brokers. See what that does. Luckily we have our own car driving around. juutsel | Posted in Back in the Netherlands | No Comments » 27 September 2010, 21:40 Today we started to get care in the Netherlands. At a quarter past 8, the appointment with the doctor test for MRSA and a referral. Upon arrival I was only to be helped by the co-assistant. The MRSA test was unfortunately not just a monster in his blood. No. .. the swab smears were three of my nose, throat and perineum had long go. After that was done was not to have passed da tap a referral needed. All data were good in the computer is correct and here and there was consultation with the doctor (which I have not seen). There was felt to my lymph nodes and concluded that now on the other hand, my glands begin to swell. Then I was told that the MRSA test would be sent to the lab and that they would take contact with an internist. They then lay out what the symptoms are the internist and then decide how urgent it is that an appointment is made. Or ... it may still hesitate to take a week. I feel extremely sick or not but all in all I am really miserable and the situation considerably Sat Michael wants me being helped, t we have finally come back for a reason. Conclusion, I was crying and Michael became angry. All very frustrating because it resolves the situation further. The doctor looked through the mail in Dordrecht everything up action. A call to the assistant took care of the promise to be called back. Michiel has her explaining the situation and asked what we should do because we are crazy to sit and wait until someone wants to look at me sometime. They advised us to make an appointment in the Port Hospital. This hospital in the Netherlands is the most specialized in tropical diseases and until we know what it is but I prefer the broadest possible diagnositsche. Anyway, there we have an appointment Thursday at 10 am. So much good news. Out of courtesy and so it is not worth having to do that we still call the doctor in Leusden. Michael explained to the assistant that we had an appointment at the Port Hospital to which the response was along the lines of ... if the other doctor advises that we need no more referral schrijven.De MRSA test is done at the earliest on Thursday. Grrrrr ... so now we still need a referral to come from somewhere and hope Thursday that the test is finished so I can go to the hospital and not in quarantine in hospital for the appointment or the appointment must resist. In between we have been to about 10 dealerships and I was completely exhausted. Eventually we bought a car, but not even the critical questions that accompany them. They approve MOT him and he is also ready by Thursday. It's a Mazda 626 from 1993. We'll see ... juutsel | Posted in Back in the Netherlands | 3 Comments » 52 ° 8 'N, 5 ° 26' E 26 September 2010, 7:50 After a total of 30 hours have traveled we finally arrived. My father, Stephan and Michael mother waited on us. The course seemed hours before the bags were finally there, but also have arrived. Out and finally the family back into the arms vallen.Een cup of coffee at the airport and hups the car. Clearly, we were in the Netherlands, after 10 minutes we drove in a hefty file and raining. On the other hand is a 'western' car very comfortable and we were all around us with new eyes. Home first, a sandwich with cheese .... hmmm ... delicious. In the evening, my sister still come. She had taken a small survival kit, a bottle of wine, licorice, delicious tea Zonnatura, bugles, chocolate ... and even makeup. In the Netherlands, we do different EITs for ourselves. The clothing was taken by my sister was also super. I have a lovely fleece jacket, but you draw actually NL not really into the street to, the same goes for boots, trousers, etc. A few brown awesome Adidas sneakers came from survival to emerge, a hersft and winter, a few further work normal sneakers and jackets. To jetlag little chance we have done our best yesterday to 10 hours to continue. By Melanie was an enthusiastic that much easier. Avery had barely slept on the plane and fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow. I also ... I think. It is now half past seven in the morning and I am again a few hours awake. For me it has not worked so well for you to avoid jetlag but it is in any case, light outside. There is a delicious herbal head 20 next to me and everything is quiet. Wherever we were on our trip, it's never been as quiet as in a suburb on Sunday morning. Today we scour the Internet for housing and cars. Own transport is a key event on 1, I can quite a lot but if I need to go anywhere by train to get anywhere. Tomorrow go to the doctor for the MRSA test and a referral and hopefully make the ball quickly started rolling. My second lymph node is indeed also growing and my fever for morning unprecedented. Even though it was not the intention to come back so early, it is nevertheless also again good to be here, but the circumstances rather rot. No idea what they want to do with me in terms of care and that makes other plans are also more difficult, but hey, life is so much easier if your family and friends around you. We are home again and despite all the hassle it feels a bit like a warm bath. juutsel | Posted in Back in the Netherlands | 1 Comment » 1 ° 21 'N, 103 ° 59' E 24 September 2010, 11:47 An internet lounge next to the food court at Changi Airport. We are already in Singapore. It's fast run yesterday. The insurance has decided not to repatriate, but we certainly went home. Fortunately, we could pay extra to change our world ticket so again via London to Amsterdam. Where the ticket London Amsterdam trip was the most expensive, but good. About 5 hours leaves our flight and we are 13 hours in limbo. Tomorrow morning we arrive early at Heathrow and then another 6 hours there after having hung around the last flight back to the mainland ... home. Around an hour or two we are, after (one day after) 7 months back in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, already looked at what we have done in the Netherlands for further care. It's the weekend and that makes it all more complicated. I should be tested for MRSA and get a referral from the GP ... so wait until Monday. It's not nice to be back at home. We want to come back with great courage and energy, ready for everyone to find and visit. Full of stories and plans. Stories we have enough but it is unclear how the coming weeks look. First I have an appointment with a specialist, and better looking (possibly temporary) accommodation. Being sick is one thing, staying another ... but if you do not feel you want more than anything their own front door, which you can draw close. Can you also easier to meet people without having the door himself uitmoet. Anyway, disappointed, sad, exhausted and hungry (have a delicious sandwich next to me but get my mouth open wide enough to get a good bite to take) steps as we on the plane. A dream is over but a future for us. I hope we can see everyone again next time, because that's the best part of coming home. Family and friends we missed months and who have sympathized with us back in the can embrace. We have missed you too, despite all our wild (and sometimes boring) stories. The good news is, we come home and it feels after all the traveling already like coming home. As Michael said, the adventure is not over, that is just beginning. I think the next few days, maybe secretly still use the website for general updates since we do not consistently able to call anyone. Michael has his cell phone still in Enschede are (and my clothes, unfortunately) so we both can best be reached at my mobile number. juutsel | Tags: house , cheap , ill , hospital
Posted in Along | 1 Comment » -9 ° 18 'N, 115 ° 16' E 23 September 2010, 6:38 Last night and this morning to the hospital for a shot of antibiotics. This morning we were the last conversation with the doctors. Michael has figured out that we love our world ticket at a high omboektarief use to come back to the Netherlands. We have booked a ticket stand tomorrow from here to Singapore and would be there for 2 days to wait before we can proceed to London and then another ticket to the Netherlands or Germany books. The doctor has advised me to repatriate the social insurance in the Netherlands but the utility does not see it and then nothing is paid. When I was in the hospital would remain as erger'ervaren be. There you are with your good behavior. Moreover, the doctors and nurses here really friendly and helpful and do their utmost to ensure good for me. This morning there was concluded that the second lymph node on my left (I thought you had only 1, but there are IIG two) now begins to swell. We have shown that the doctors I have a fever this morning and explained how it is with the insurance. They then have a further medical report released and this is now in the insurance. The next step in treatment is a blood test (already purchased) and then surgically removing a piece of the gland to investigate this. Apart from that I do not want that in my cut, I would rather that this happened in the Netherlands by a doctor that I understand. My energy tumbles slowly and I have little hope that the insurance will help us. That means a flight tomorrow, 2 days Singapore, flight to London and another flight. Michael must arrange the bags because I can not lift, and have a wheelchair for long stretches of walking in there is not. I hope today is better news to come but fear that it just stays hassle.
