ML & Orps
August 29th, 2010
Yesterday I left my home at 08.00 to be a bartender at Mysteryland, which is one of the largest electronic festival in the world with 50 000 people. After working for 12 hours at the festival and then waiting to get paid I got home at 03.30. Totally dead. Bartending at such festivals is extremely hectic as the stream of people never stop, it just keeps going and going.
I am definitely going back as a visitor next year and not as a worker. It was real torture standing working beside the Tiesto tent, knowing you won’t be there dancing at all.
The worst thing is that you earn so bad in the Netherlands compared to Norway. All of my friends back there earn at least around 120 kr/15 euro and above, while i earn 58 kr/7 euros and hour. It’s such a difference to Norway, compared to the price level of everything here. The only thing that is slightly cheaper here is groceries, for the rest most of the stuff has the same price level as in Norway + plus i need to pay stinking 110 euros a month in health-insurance. And then you still see these blogger girls whining about the fact that they can’t go to the café and drink their cappuccino. We have it so extremely good in people, and the people don’t even know it, because they are so extremely spoiled many of them.
It happens often that the dutch television channels send out Norwegian kids show, and today it was the movie Orps(one time at the bandcamp kinda thing.) So today I’ve been siting inside, watching norwegian telly as the weather is so extremely bad.
