Hello World!

It's amazing how much money I managed to throw away yesterday. I had to go to by train from Leiden to Utrecht in the morning, and bought a two-way ticket for I think 16 guilders, with a 40% discount thanks to my discount card. Unfortunately, then I realised it was before 9, so I wouldn't actually be able to ride with a discount yet. So I bought a one-way ticket for 15 guilders without the discount. Thinking I could save some time, I also used the ticket machine to get another one-way ticket with discount, to get back in the evening. Only when I was in the train did I realise that both tickets were valid only to get from Leiden to Utrecht, so I couldn't actually use the second one to get back, meaning that in the evening I had to buy yet another one-way ticket in Utrecht to get back to Leiden. Of course, then when I got home I realised I could just have used the two-way ticket I'd bought at first to get home in the evening. In total, I think I probably spent nearly three times what I should have spent - and of course there was no ticket control at any point during the trip either, making it all seem even more pointless. Sigh.

Poll Results

Below are the results of the most recent TrekToday poll:

Where are you from? United States of America 56.8% - (504 Votes) Rest of Europe 10.8% - (96 Votes) United Kingdom 9.1% - (81 Votes) Rest of America 8.2% - (73 Votes) Australia 6.6% - (59 Votes) Germany 4.5% - (40 Votes) Someplace else 2.3% - (21 Votes) Asia 1.1% - (10 Votes) Africa 0.2% - (2 Votes) Total Votes: 886

It's interesting to see such a large percentage of visitors are actually from outside the United States, though TrekToday's site statistics program already revealed this a while ago - this also means the poll results actually are fairly accurate, as the statistics program currently gives about the same percentages for visitors.

The new TrekToday poll is another one in the series about you, asking what your gender is:
