That's not even close to 2 weeks. I know you know that. Just admit you use the wrong choice of words to mislead. It’s stupid. Why would I want to mislead about this anyhow? Who the Fock cares where I spent my summer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one cares where you spent the summer. That's not the point. The point goes towards your credibility and reputation. People already consider you a liar and when you do stuff like this it just reinforces it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So how exactly does this work, Tim? Based on common interpretation, you spent about 16% of your summer in Turkey. Do fancy people pick the most exciting thing they did to describe how they spent their summer, regardless of how long they did it? Or is it a time thing? If I went to the beach for 7 or 10 days in August, should I say I spent my summer at the beach? Let’s say, on your return trip, you were detained for 15 days by TSA for smuggling a young Turkish boy. Would you say you spent your summer in federal custody or in Turkey? How about you met a buddy for golf, and you spent 16% of your day commuting to and from the course. You just happened to shoot your best score ever, and then got laid later that night. Would you consider that you spent your day in the car? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I’m taking a cruise around Scandinavia for another 10 days, then back to Amsterdam. If somebody asks me later on how I spent the summer of 2024, I’ll tell them I spent it in Amsterdam. And if I post that here no doubt @supermike80 will call me a liar. Because he’s a fool. I hate Schipol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pollution from it ruins the area, for me. As for the airport itself, like most things Dutch it is well run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
