The curse of advertising to me

One of the many problems that you face when you travel is the language barrier of course. I speak and understand 3 (french, english and italian), but now I’m back in Amsterdam, I’m being bombarded by Dutch again (or Holish as Tod puts it). That”s only fair in a way and just pushes me to actually learn it this time around.

What I hate though is that when i google anything now, I get Dutch advertisement in Dutch! I have obviously never googled in Dutch, and so wouldn’t it be something that Google would be clever at figuring out? Location does not mean that I am a native… so if you want to, give me .nl ads that are in English, that would be far more relevant, coz right now, there’s a whole marketing potential I’m simply ignoring and getting annoyed at…
