A FRIEND IN COURT IS BETTER THAN A PENNY IN PURSE

This is happening to me as I write this post 😀⁣

⁣

Today was a great weather in the Netherlands (at least till 7pm, then it became cloudy again). After work, I travelled to Amsterdam to meet friends. We had some drinks, smoked nargilah (hookah), and drank again. ⁣

⁣

The time flew quickly. It was getting late, so I checked the train schedule. There were no more direct trains back to Rotterdam, so my only option was a slow train (70-80 mins). ⁣

⁣

I said my goodbyes to friends and went to the train station. I got on the train and was happy that I am on my way home.⁣

⁣

After 15 minutes, I realized that the conductor was announcing the wrong stations. I was heading in the opposite direction 🤦🏽‍♂️ ⁣

⁣

I got off on the next stop (Heemskerk, a small village 20km away from Amsterdam). It was 1 am already. I checked the app, and the next train home is at 6.08 am. Fuuun... I was ready to spend a night at the station (not my first time 😀). But then I saw a train going to Alkmaar, the next big city nearby. I got on a train hoping for better sleeping conditions in Alkmaar. ⁣

⁣

In the meantime, I texted my best friend @dima_ojog, who lives in Amsterdam. He has a car, so I hoped that he was awake, sober, and willing to have an 'exciting' night trip to Alkmaar 😅 ⁣

⁣

It is 5 am. I am in Amsterdam having another drink and singing songs 😀 ⁣

⁣

Life is unpredictable!⁣ Enjoy it to the fullest and value your friends! 😉
