Michael Jackson

Every store in Amsterdam, every day, at seemingly every second, plays "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson.  I was even at the squat garden yesterday, and 3 Dutchies set up a barbecue and table and wine and chairs, &c. outside their flat and our spot...and then they set up their music.  And I will give you one guess as to the exact, specific song they played.  I can't understand it.  It's not even like it's generic Michael Jackson.  It is one song.  There's even some graffiti of Michael Jackson at one of the local open-air markten, Waterlooplein.  If I get a chance, I'll take pictures for you.  It's a city-wide obsession.  Not even an obsession; it's treated so casually, like no one even realises it.  But they're all playing the same fricking song, everywhere, constantly.  Can't understand it.  Actually, it's kinda cool, in a way.

Here it is: the famous graffiti.

Also, I found The Bubble today for €20 in a store (good price), but its only subtitles were in Dutch and French; two languages I want to learn, but too early to jump into that.  I really want to buy the Tarot of Trees when it comes out, and I want to buy it here!  I miss not having my tarot.  I even have candles now.  It's just not the same.  I have my tapestry on the floor and everything.  And Tibet flags now.

I have now set all my Mac functions to Nederlands.  Believe it; it's real.  (Gelooft het, het is echt.)
