"Holland is the one place in the world where you can watch a foreign movie with foreign subtitles and still [think you can] follow the story."

Canadian ex-pat speaking about rabies shots after being bitten by a dog in Afganistan:
"When this great big, tough army dude called it 'permission to cry,' I knew I was in trouble."

And that would be because there is little action?

No, I think it has to do more with the availability of illicit substances that make one think one is following the story even when one cannot.

Reminds me to pay more attention to what people are saying. And make notes, because otherwise I'll forget as always. (:
