Over at Krug they think we don’t exist
I’m getting married. Something that was getting inevitable and desirable at the same time. Nevertheless, I’ve still got kind of a hard time admitting to it. Why? I don’t know. Perhaps I’m desperately trying to hold on to that last straw of selfdeception that I am still yound and without responsibility. Not that that has anything to do with being married or not.
Why did I start this post again? Ah, because I wanted to tell you that, since we’re getting married and throwing a little get-together, I was looking for some gifts that people could possibly give us. It’s not that we want anything in particular. To the contrary. We’ve probably already got everything we could ever need. Therefore I decided to think up some things that I would love to get, but are way to expensive, strange, whathaveyounot. So I went to the Krug website, probably one of the nicest champagnes and definitely the most expensive one out there. But to my surprise (you have to select your country of origin and your birth year) (The) Netherlands or Holland don’t seem to exist over at Krug HQ. Could it be because of the fact that we Dutchies drink an abysmal amount of bubbles (last figures stated something like 12 glasses per capita a year (and less than half of that was from the champagne region))? It must be.
Since I had to think of an alternative and have always been wanting to be Afghan, I decided to list Afghanistan as my country of origin. Alas, people living in Afghanistan are not allowed in:Sorry, you are not allowed to enter this site.”, it said. Luckily, people from Aruba are…
Anyway, I decided to leave them a little note to ask them why they were so discriminating towards either nationality and at the same time inquire about an invitation to their winery(without one it is quite impossible to visit them). Let’s see what they’re reply is.
