Delicious Dutch delicacies from my awesome friend

I received a package from the Netherlands from my lovely friend Shirley!

I was so happy to see the package today. The postman put it on top of our mail inbox, because it was too big to fit in. I was thinking: OMG! No need to give me something so big. I became a bit shy. Then I ran down and brought the package up to my room. I unwrapped it immediately and saw:

Wow! So many yummy things! Amazing! Thank you, Shirley! What can I say more? Bedankt! The first thing I had to try were the interesting candies. There was all kinds of them and although they look like soft ones, they weren't that soft. But they were very yummy anyway:

Among the mouthwatering candies, I spotted two monkeys and I was so happy. I'm monkey in the Chinese zodiac, so it's "natural", that I love them. Then I remembered my other awesome friend, who is really scared of monkeys. Oh no... Too late now, the pics are uploaded, so...

Another thing about me, that's fairly known, is my love for chocolate. You can't go wrong by giving me chocolate as a gift. I wanna try chocs from all over the world. This one was yummy!

And then there were Dutch mini stroopwafles. Shirley said I need to put them in the microwave for about 10 seconds. And I tell you, they are delicious. Never had these before, so I was surprised how good they taste. The only thing Shirley didn't tell me, is how to eat them:

How would you eat them? :)

Really thanks a lot dear Shirley for this lovely surprise. I'm surely going to read the book on the train and plane, because it's a great story. I watched the trailer of the movie and was amazed immediately. I guess it will be fun to read the book first. And all the sweets are really great, especially the stroopwafles. I love them. I feel very appreciated and things like this make blogging a great experience. I hope your eye gets better soon, because I miss your posts and comments. I hope I can read your blog when I'm in Taiwan :-)

Speaking of sweets and Taiwan, you can check out Lily's new post about sweets, but it's in Chinese.

Ps: Sorry, Manju, for the monkey :-P

Pps: Dear Toothfairy, I will brush my teeth more times today, ok? I promise :-)
