Welcome, as yet non-existent reader.
This is new for both of us, you and me. Here I am, in a new city, living in a new apartment, writing a new blog. You have discovered this new blog, with not-so-new-but-hopefully-interestingly-presented-content, and now have a new reason to get up in the morning. All the new stuff.
Actually, I wish I were that fascinating, that people would get up in the morning simply to read about how I tried and failed to cook a four-layer trifle cake or construct an ecologically sound argument for plastic containers, but I suspect that the life of an almost-30, environmentalist vegetarian expat in The Netherlands living with her husband in a nice apartment and pretending to know a out music may lack sufficient excitement and suspense to make people desperate to catch up on this blog over their morning coffee. Still, you never know. People find The Alchemist compelling, so there's just no accounting for taste.
You may wonder why someone who is writing her first blog post to the adult equivalent of an imaginary friend would even bother to start a blog. The answer is 1 part self-aggrandisement, 1 part travel diary, and 1 part desperate desire to be part of a club of sweet-ass bloggers from around the world that make the internet a better place.
So there you have it. The beginnings of 's-Veganhage: A blog (hopefully) about moving to The Netherlands, trying to be a vegan, and an undying love for The Datsuns.
