is one of the rules I put in this blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\n1. Wearing flip-flops at home<\/h2>\n
This must be an heritage from Geg, my crazy Austrian friend \ud83d\ude42
\nWhen I\u2019m home, I\u2019m either barefoot (summer) or walking with socks (rest of the year).
\nI completely abandoned the flip-flops and I’ve no intention on using the Dutch wooden clogs. Who needs them at home?? And why should my neighbor hear me walking around?
\nIndeed laminate floor is helping a lot as it’s warmed than ceramic tails or marble.<\/p>\n

2. Pairing black socks<\/h2>\n
In an ideal world a man should have all the black socks of the identical model, but I’m being very idealistic now.
\nI used to pair the socks before putting them in the drawer – that means: forming the right pair matching different black shades, length and shapes.
\nThat’s not happening anymore in my life.
\nThe chance that someone notice that my left sock is slightly <\/em>different than the right one is\u00a0too low compared with the time I can spend living life at the fullest… like checking the Facebook wall once more…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
3. Ironing everything<\/h2>\n
Thanks mom for all the handkerchiefs,\u00a0underwear, t-shirts and even socks you have iron for us.<\/p>\n
But now I’m the ruler of my house.
\nI switched to\u00a0Kleenex (paper\u00a0handkerchiefs)\u00a0long ago.
\nThen I stop ironing, in sequence, socks, underwear, t-shirts, polo and lately even jeans.
\nI only iron shirts when I need one, just before wearing it<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
4. Buying bottled water<\/h2>\n
When I arrived in Amsterdam I was shocked to see how difficult was to find “water in the bottle” – then I realized I was the only one looking for it.
\nSince this epiphany I happily live on tap water.<\/p>\n
