Yes, I will return to Holland at some point, when travel is free again, (I'll have to update myself on EU travel rules since Brexit though), because I have a close friend who lives in one of my favourite cities there.
You made the effort to write a nice story, so it would be my loss not to take the time to read it (as I discovered :) so you're most welcome🤗
Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind: to make a series of stories about barista-consumers interactions in a small coffee shop. It could be like the Netflix series "Tokyo Midnight Dinner" but a coffee shop version. It would be warm stories based on true stories because in Indonesia, sometimes we went to a coffee shop just to have a good conversation after a rough day.
Hope the pandemic will be over soon and we will travel again. These two years are already driving me crazy.
I'm sold on that idea already!😍
I've never heard about Tokyo Midnight Dinner, but I love all things Japanese, so I'll check that out. I'll see what's available online, because I don't have Netflix.
I've realised after work coffee shop stops is a common practise in Indonesia, from the stories man community members share.
Yes, this halt on the world is becoming questionable. I do get itchy feet sometimes, lucky my current lifestyle reduces that to some extent;-)
