I know I have mentioned it before, but I just need to talk about the obscure way that the Dutch seem to number floors. They don't have something called the basement but instead it is 01. Yah. . .okay. So today at work I was looking for room 1A55, which at first glance, I thought that I was on floor 1 and there was no room 55 where there should have been. That is when it was pointed out to me that I was in fact on floor 01. So I went up a floor and proceeded to look for room 1A55 - once again - no luck. Why? Because I was now on floor 0. Seriously! What floor is called zero?! So up another set of stairs and I FINALLY found the floor and the room that I was supposed to be on. Why can we not call floors what they are? Basement, ground floor, 2nd floor and so on? It is all a mystery to me.
