I bought tickets for a show tomorrow night and stocked up on my favorite shampoo. I thought I could live without it, but I think they must put some kind of topical heroin in it, because I am truly addicted to it. And its horribly expensive too. I did manage to save some money, however, because I was talked OUT of buying some other brand's conditioner by the man who worked in the salon. It was so bizarre. I went to that salon because it is the only place in town that carries that brand. But they didn’t carry the entire line (they didn’t have the one I wanted), so I asked for a recommendation. When I would pick one out, the man say: "No! You don’t want that, it will make your hair very soft and silky." I was confused. "This is a bad thing?" I kept saying. Maybe something was lost in the translation. The whole experience was rather amusing.
I took a yoga class tonight. Back in SF I took classes at my gym, but here I decided to go to a yoga center, mainly because their web site was all in English. Also because I don't belong to a gym yet. I wasn’t the only person in the class who didn’t speak Dutch (there was at least 5 out of 20 or so) and the class was taught half in English, half in Dutch. It was difficult at times, I had to watch what everyone else was doing. But I definitely got a good workout, I hope I'm not too sore tomorrow.
