Dutch SIM and a map, finally

Posted on by

I have a new SIM for The Netherlands.

New mobile number is: +31627556177

SMS only works with Vodaphone and Optus in Oz, so don’t bother if you aren’t with one of them. Telstra – get your shit together!

I’m going to buy a new SIM in each country, most likely, it’s heaps cheaper than using one from another country. Cheaper still would be to throw the frickin’ mobile in a dyke..

I also bought a nice Michelin map of Zuid-Nederland, central Netherlands. This should make leaving cities a little less frustrating in the future.

  3. I’m smiling, but I won’t be on the line as often as some 🙂 Map sounds like a sensible idea – have you been out in the sun again?? Happy travels!

  4. Gee, Europe must have a very different economy. I had to pay quite a large sum last weekend to throw my thing in a Dyke.

  5. Send your phone to:

    Dr Josef

    Kande Hospital

    Kande, Nkhata Bay

    Malawi

    Africa

    He would appreciate it big time. The hospital doesn’t have a phone to call for help with difficult cases. So instead of being able to be bedside, the doctor has to walk 400m up the street, use a phone beaureu, go "What does it mean when they are frothing at the mouth" "OK, I’ll go check" 5 minutes later "OK, it is a little creamy, what next?….OK, I’ll go check" "Nope. Not like thickened cream. Like cheap double cream". Hence taking long times for diagnosis, and organising E-vac’s. So, if anyone has a spare phone, or is about to throw one into a Dyke (Hey… I thought that by definition Dykes weren’t into that…), consider sending it to Mr Josef. I’ll even pay the postage*

  8. Ah! Cough Syrup! I remember now!

    I got some wicked cough syrup in Livingstone, Zambia (coughnamedropcough). It was called "Strong Man" and if you could make a shot taste that good, I’d be off the beer and on the shooters. It had a thick consistency to it as well, which made it even better.

    So folks, if you’re ever in Zambia, please let me know and I’ll drop some money in your account for a case of the shit.
