Dan preparing for the Sinterklaas taste test.

Episode 16 of Maastricht Minutiae is ready for your listening pleasure. Its been a couple of real nose to the grindstone kind of weeks. So instead of having a tale of travel to share, we decided to celebrate Sinter Klaas’ arrival in Maastricht with a taste test of traditional holiday sweets. That does mean we recorded the episode on the same computer, so the sound quality is a bit off. Click here to listen to Episode 16 or download it using your favorite podcatcher.

In Episode 16 we talk about:

Dutch Language Class at Maastricht University

NaNoWriMo & other projects

My continued adventures with Dutch Healthcare
